Resumo
Objetivo: Este estudo analisa como a propriedade acionária dos empregados influencia o desempenho Ambiental, Social e de Governança (ESG) na China e examina o papel da Inteligência Competitiva (IC) como uma capacidade estratégica de governança que alinha os incentivos de propriedade aos resultados de sustentabilidade. Adota-se uma perspectiva comparativa de governança para explorar diferenças entre empresas com propriedade dos empregados, empresas com influência estatal e empresas com governança tradicional no contexto institucional chinês.
Metodologia/abordagem: A pesquisa emprega um desenho qualitativo e conceitual, fundamentado em um arcabouço integrativo de governança. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura interdisciplinar sobre propriedade dos empregados, desempenho ESG, governança corporativa e inteligência competitiva, utilizando as principais bases acadêmicas. O raciocínio institucional comparativo contextualiza os mecanismos de governança baseados na estrutura de propriedade dentro do ambiente regulatório, sociopolítico e de mercado da China.
Originalidade/Relevância: Embora estudos anteriores tenham analisado separadamente ESG e estrutura de propriedade, pouca atenção foi dada à IC como capacidade de governança moderadora da relação entre propriedade dos empregados e resultados ESG, especialmente em economias emergentes. Este estudo conceitualiza a IC como um mecanismo dinâmico de governança que aprimora a transparência informacional, o alinhamento entre stakeholders e a tomada de decisão orientada à sustentabilidade.
Principais resultados: A síntese teórica indica que a propriedade dos empregados fortalece o desempenho ESG quando apoiada por sistemas estruturados de IC. A IC atua como uma capacidade de processamento governamental que converte incentivos de propriedade em decisões sustentáveis fundamentadas em inteligência. Variações nas configurações de governança explicam diferenças nos resultados ESG entre os distintos tipos de propriedade na China.
Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: O estudo avança a literatura ao integrar propriedade dos empregados, ESG e IC em um arcabouço comparativo de governança e posiciona a IC como uma capacidade dinâmica de governança, estabelecendo bases para futuras pesquisas empíricas.
