劳动力年龄结构及团队合作对企业技术变革的双重影响研究

文章分析中国城镇劳动力年龄结构与企业采用新的或显著改进技术之间的关系,探讨了劳动力年龄和团队合作对采用新技术概率的联合影响。基于问卷调查采集到的数据集对其进行实证分析,得到三个结论：首先,年轻劳动力比例较高的公司更有可能采用新技术。其次,劳动力年龄的分布对采用新技术的可能性没有显著影响。最后,若企业已经加强了团队合作,则年轻劳动力比例较高的企业不太可能采用新技术,反之老劳动力比例较高的企业更有可能采用新技术。

The dual impact of labor age structure and team cooperation on firm technological transformation

In order to study the relationship between the age structure of the urban workforce and the adoption of new or significantly improved technologies in service sector firms, the article closes a research gap by analyzing the joint impact of the age of the workforce and the enhancement of teamwork on the probability of adopting new technologies. The empirical analyses, that is based on the data collected from the questionnaire survey, reveals three findings:firstly, firms with a higher share of younger employees are more likely to adopt new technologies. Secondly, the distribution of the age of the workforce has no significant impact on the probability of adopting new technologies. And thirdly, firms which enhance their teamwork and have a higher share of younger workers are less likely to adopt new technologies; whereas firms that enhance their teamwork and have a higher share of older employees are more likely to adopt new technologies.
