Abstract

Digital productivity refers to digital technology as the core. The rapid development of digital economy has brought new production methods and business models to manufacturing enterprises. In this context, exploring how digital productivity drives the high-quality development of manufacturing enterprises is of great significance for deepening the theoretical innovation of digital productivity, grasping the development law of the digital era, and promoting economic transformation and upgrading. This paper takes the manufacturing enterprises in Tai'an City from 2011 to 2022 as the research sample, constructs the digital productivity index and the high-quality development level of manufacturing enterprises through the entropy method, and uses the two-way fixed effect model and the mediating effect model to empirically study the channel mechanism of digital productivity on the high-quality development of manufacturing enterprises. The research finds that digital productivity can significantly improve the high-quality development level of manufacturing industry. Technological innovation and human capital are important mechanisms for digital productivity to promote the high-quality development process of manufacturing enterprises, but the conduction effect of human capital is better than that of technological innovation. Finally, according to the above research results, this paper puts forward some policy suggestions, such as constructing 'data-industry' collaborative innovation ecology, strengthening technology penetration, and innovating 'education-industry' human capital value-added model, in order to provide reference for promoting high-quality development of enterprises.
