この論文は、中国の海運業界における船員の権利保護（SRP）の制度化において、ESG戦略が重要な媒介メカニズムとして機能することを示しています。32名の経営者へのインタビューに基づき、外部の説明責任圧力がESGへの取り組みを通じてSRPに影響を与える理論モデルを提案。国際条約の現地化、PSCの執行強度、組織ガバナンスの成熟度がこのプロセスを促進することを明らかにしました。実務的には、SRPを取締役会の監視やデジタル監視システムに組み込むことの重要性を強調しています。
English
This paper demonstrates that ESG strategy acts as a critical mediating mechanism in the institutionalization of seafarers' rights protection (SRP) in the Chinese shipping industry. Based on interviews with 32 executives, it proposes a theoretical model where external accountability pressures influence SRP through ESG engagement. The process is positively moderated by localization of international conventions, intensity of Port State Control enforcement, and organizational governance maturity. Practically, it emphasizes embedding SRP in board oversight and digital monitoring systems.

日本のGX文脈において
日本の海運業界でもESGへの関心が高まっていますが、本論文は中国の事例を通じて、ESG戦略が単なる開示ツールではなく、労働権保護を制度化する「ガバナンスの翻訳」メカニズムとして機能することを示しています。日本の企業や規制当局にとって、国際基準の現地化とPSC執行の役割を再考する示唆を与えます。
In the global GX context
This paper provides valuable insights for the global shipping industry by showing how ESG strategy can translate institutional pressures into actual labor rights protection. It highlights the importance of localization of international conventions and the role of Port State Control, which are relevant for international maritime regulators and shipping companies worldwide.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Moving beyond passive legal compliance is a critical challenge for the global shipping industry in protecting seafarers’ rights. Drawing on interviews with 32 Chinese shipping executives, this study conceptualizes Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy not merely as a disclosure tool, but as a critical “governance translation” mechanism. We propose a theoretical model where external accountability pressures drive the institutionalization of seafarers’ rights protection (SRP), mediated effectively by corporate ESG engagement. We find that this process is positively moderated by three boundary conditions: the localization of international conventions, the intensity of Port State Control (PSC) enforcement, and the maturity of organizational governance. Practically, the findings suggest that policymakers should prioritize the clear localization of international standards to reduce ambiguity. For managers, the study demonstrates that embedding SRP into board oversight and digital monitoring systems is essential for transforming labor rights from a cost center into a sustainable strategic advantage.
