Abstract

Since China was fully connected to the Internet, the local Internet has continued to grow along with its economic strength, and Internet companies such as artificial intelligence, e-commerce, big data, block chain and electronic payment have risen rapidly. In the process of development, Internet enterprises realize the importance of social responsibility and take the initiative to shoulder social responsibility, and make a lot of contributions to the society. The relationship between social responsibility and the financial performance of Internet companies has always been the focus of academic and research discussions. Based on the linear regression model, innovation capability was introduced to explore the boundary conditions between social responsibility and the financial performance of the companies. An empirical study was conducted using a research sample of listed Internet companies in China from 2018 to 2020. The results show that (1) social responsibility of the Internet corporate has a positive effect on short-term financial performance, (2) Internet corporate social responsibility has a positive effect on the long-term financial performance of enterprises, (3) innovation capability weakens the impact of Internet corporate social responsibility on short-term financial performance, and (4) the influence of innovation capability on the long-term financial performance of Internet companies in social responsibility. The research conclusion provides Internet enterprises with social responsibility strategies and evaluation of long-term and short-term financial performance.
