dc.description.abstract | Our principal aim is to assess the role of governance companies’ active internationalisation. We first measured and compared the degree of institutional quality among the 28 European Union Member States (EU–28) between 2004 and 2021 using the authorship synthetic index of governance quality (SIGQ) values. In the second step, we assessed outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) projects measured by their relative value to the GDP per capita in each member state. Finally, we correlated the overall quality of governance (GQ) and its six dimensions with OFDI in the EU–28 (including the UK). We employed numerous statistical tools, i.e., hierarchical cluster analysis, contingency analysis, synthetic index values, and descriptive statistics. We used the Worldwide Governance Index (WGI) to assess the GQ in the EU–28 for 2004–2021. The statistical analysis results revealed a positive relationship between the quality of governance and the OFDI. The most important of the partial variables was the rule of law, which reflects perceptions of the degree to which individuals and actors trust and adhere to social rules. Our research demonstrates that policymakers should consider the importance of institutional quality indicators in supporting domestic companies “to go abroad”. The primary input delivered by the study to the current body of knowledge about OFDI involves identifying the relationship between GQ in all the EU–28 (“old” and “new”) using the SIGQ index. | en |
dc.description.abstract | Głównym celem badania jest wpływ jakości rządzenia na aktywną internacjonalizację przedsiębiorstw w Unii Europejskiej. Najpierw zmierzyliśmy i porównaliśmy poziom jakości instytucjonalnej w państwach członkowskich UE w latach 2004–2021, wykorzystując autorski syntetyczny indeks jakości rządzenia (SIGQ). Następnie porównaliśmy wartość zagranicznych inwestycji bezpośrednich wychodzących (OFDI) w relacji do PKB na mieszkańca w każdym państwie członkowskim UE. Na koniec skorelowaliśmy ogólną jakość rządzenia (GQ) i jej sześć wymiarów z OFDI w państwach członkowskich UE–28 (w tym w Wielkiej Brytanii). Zastosowaliśmy metody statystyczne, m.in. hierarchiczną analizę skupień, analizę kontyngencji, syntetyczne wartości indeksu i statystyki opisowe. Wyniki analizy statystycznej potwierdziły pozytywny związek między jakością rządzenia a OFDI. Najważniejszą ze zmiennych cząstkowych okazał się współczynnik określający rządy prawa (rule of law), to znaczy postrzeganie stopnia, w jakim jednostki i podmioty przestrzegają zasad społecznych w danym kraju. Nasze badania pokazują, że decydenci polityczni powinni rozważyć znaczenie wskaźników jakości instytucjonalnej we wspieraniu krajowych firm w wychodzeniu za granicę. Głównym wkładem w obecny stan wiedzy na temat OFDI jest próba zidentyfikowania ich związku z GQ we wszystkich państwach członkowskich Unii Europejskiej („starych” i „nowych”) przy użyciu indeksu SIGQ. | pl |
