“…State-owned winners received greater financial performance improvements than non-state-owned winners. Similar to other management practices and certifications (Lo et al ., 2013, 2014; Orzes et al ., 2017, 2020; Podrecca et al ., 2022), the performance benefits of the QA depend on different contextual factors. It is necessary to understand the contextual factors of quality practices rather than just proving their validity (Zhang et al ., 2011).…”

“…To test the proposed research hypothesis, we employed the longitudinal event study methodology. The event study method compares the performance of the sample and control organizations before and after the event (CQA) and calculates the abnormal performances (APs) of sample organizations, thus establishing a link between the event and the examined performance (Barber and Lyon, 1996; Lo et al ., 2014; Podrecca et al ., 2022).…”

“…In line with previous event studies (De Jong et al ., 2013; Podrecca et al ., 2022), considering the distribution of APs is not normal, we used the Wilcoxon signed rank (WRS) test and sign test to examine the significance of APs. We also showed the results of the t -tests for completeness.…”

“…ISO certification is the beginning of quality management for many companies and provides a roadmap for TQM implementation (Sainis et al ., 2017). There have been numerous studies focusing on the impact of certifications on enterprise performance, such as ISO 9000 (Corbett et al ., 2005; Karapetrovic et al ., 2010; Lo et al ., 2013; Siougle and Dimelis, 2020), ISO14001 (De Jong et al ., 2013; Feng et al ., 2016; Treacy et al ., 2019), ISO/IEC 27001 (Podrecca et al ., 2022), SA8000 (Orzes et al ., 2017), and OHSAS 18001 (Lo et al ., 2014; Yang et al ., 2021). The relationship between quality management initiatives and firm performance is another important area of research.…”

“…Existing QA studies are deficient in terms of contextual factors (Zhang and Xia, 2012). Several unconsidered contextual factors, such as innovation intensity (Podrecca et al ., 2022) and culture (Orzes et al ., 2020), have been found to affect the benefits of other management practices. Therefore, the potential influence of contextual factors is a research gap to be filled.…”

PurposeQuality awards are widely considered symbols of successful quality management. The purpose of this paper is to empirically test the effects of the China Quality Award (CQA) on firms' performance. The study further explores how the benefits due to CQA are affected by contextual factors.Design/methodology/approachUsing the data of CQA winners from 2001 to 2016, the event study method is applied to analyze the abnormal performance of winners. Furthermore, multiple regression models are proposed to evaluate the effects of contextual factors on the relationship between the award and profitability.FindingsThe findings show that CQA has positive impacts on profitability and fixed asset efficiency but not on labor productivity. Besides, state-owned firms and firms with high innovation intensity obtain more profitability benefits than others.Originality/valueThis is the first study to explain the relationship between quality awards and firm performance from a theoretical perspective, providing new insights into the quality management and performance literature. Furthermore, this study deepens the understanding of the relationship between quality awards and performance and reveals new implications. Some of the contextual factors examined, such as innovation intensity, are considered for the first time in quality award research.

The aim of this study is to shed light on the relationship between ISO 45001 adoption and firm performance. To explore the issue, we conduct an event study and a weighted least squares regression on a dataset of 157 publicly listed companies – operating in various countries and sectors – that have given public announcement of the attainment of the ISO 45001 certification. The results show that, when compared to non‐adopters, ISO 45001‐certified companies display better performance in terms of productivity and profitability, while no significant differences emerge for sales. The effects of ISO 45001 adoption are significantly influenced by industry‐ and company‐related contextual factors. The study contributes to the academic literature by developing the first large‐scale empirical investigation on the performance implications of ISO 45001. Furthermore, it informs managers that by ensuring healthy and safe workplaces companies can also achieve higher financial performance.
