在中国特殊的制度与文化情境之下,CEO声誉究竟是提高盈余质量的有效治理工具,还是强化真实盈余管理行为的驱动因素?针对上述问题,文章将委托代理理论与中国“面子”文化相结合,运用2012-2017年上市公司数据,实证检验了CEO声誉对真实盈余管理行为的“双刃”效应及作用路径。研究表明:CEO声誉与真实盈余管理行为之间具有显著的倒U形关系,即CEO声誉存在一个阈值,低于该阈值,两者呈现正相关关系,超过该阈值,则演变为负相关关系;CEO声誉通过倒U形曲线效应影响了CEO风险承担水平,进而促成了CEO声誉与真实盈余管理之间的倒U形关系,即CEO风险承担水平在两者之间具有非线性中介效应。通过拓展性分析发现,国有股权属性、CEO股权激励、CEO复合型职业背景均可以弱化CEO声誉与真实盈余管理行为的倒U形关系。研究结论揭示了CEO声誉在中国情境下的双重治理效应及作用机理,为真实盈余管理行为动因研究提供了新的经验证据。
