Analyzing the Mechanism of the Empowering Role of Data Elements in the Upgrading of Human Capital:A Case Study Based on National-level Big Data Comprehensive Experimental Zone Data
Employing the national-level big data comprehensive pilot zone as an empirical field and utilizing data from Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies spanning 2011 to 2021,this study employs benchmark regression analysis and parallel trend tests to examine the promoting role of data element empowerment in enterprise human capital upgrading.Robustness and heterogeneity analyses are conducted,followed by an exploration of the innovative incentive and scale expansion effects of data empowerment,along with their impacts on low-skilled labor categories,employment scale,and the relative structure of human capital in enterprises.Research results indicate that the data element empowerment initiated by the construction of the national-level big data comprehensive pilot zone robustly facilitates enterprise human capital upgrading and talent team expansion,supported by a series of robustness tests.Differences in enterprise-level property rights and innovation attributes,as well as regional variations in geographical location and administrative levels,result in heterogeneous impacts on enterprise human capital upgrading.The construction of the national-level big data comprehensive pilot zone opens avenues for enterprise digital transformation,influencing the human capital upgrading process through innovative incentive and scale expansion effects.Extended discussions suggest that data element empowerment also increases certain low-skilled labor positions,leading to the expansion of enterprise employment scale.Therefore,it is essential to fully leverage the empowering effects of data elements,promote the deep integration of data elements with the enterprise production and operation processes,ultimately achieving the optimal upgrading of human capital,and injecting talent-driven momentum into fostering and strengthening new dynamics for enterprise development.
