Corporate Digital Transformation,Average Wages,and Internal Income Inequality
The innovation and application of digital technology can facilitate the digital transformation of traditional industries.This paper,in the context of digital development,builds a task model to analyze the impact mechanism of enterprise digital transformation on average wages and internal income gaps.By establishing a panel model using the data of Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2021 for empirical tests,it provides empirical value for better promoting enterprise digital transformation,assisting in rationalizing the compensation system for enterprise employees,and thereby facilitating the realization of common prosperity.The research indicates that the digital transformation of enterprises can increase the average wage of employees,and its effect on the internal income gap within enterprises is significantly negative,with the results of the robustness test remaining unchanged.The heterogeneity analysis reveals that the significance varies in the eastern,central and western regions,as well as between state-owned enterprises and non-state-owned enterprises,but the effect remains unchanged.Based on this,in the process of actively promoting enterprise digital transformation,a rational income distribution system should be constructed to better facilitate enterprise digital transformation.
