Abstract

This study investigates how party organization embedding affects the share of labor income in enterprises. It looks at party organization embedding from two perspectives: structural embedding and relational embedding. The study finds that party organization embedding boosts the share of labor income, with enterprise greening transformation and financing constraints playing a mediating role. The study's conclusions remain valid even after robustness and endogeneity tests. Additionally, there are differences in the impact of party organization embedding on labor income share across enterprises in different regions. The effect of party organization embedding on labor income share is more significant in the western region, and party organization embedding has a more pronounced impact on labor income share in less market-oriented environments.
