Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present the direction of CSR activities for sustainable management by analyzing the mediating effect of management innovation on the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities and financial performance. In order to verify the research hypothesis, the results of the questionnaire of 517 employees of domestic manufacturing companies were obtained and analyzed using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 20.0. First, CSR activities have a positive effect on management innovation. Second, management innovation and financial performance showed a positive relationship. Third, we confirmed the mediating effect of management innovation on CSR activities and financial performance. Lastly, we can confirm only the partial control effect according to the size of company in the relation of CSR activity and management innovation. It is necessary to establish systematic theories between CSR activities and financial performance through further analysis of various parameters in the future.

이 연구는 기업의 사회적책임(CSR)활동과 재무성과간의 관계에서 경영혁신의 매개효과를 분석함으로써 지속가능 경영을 위한 CSR활동의 방향성을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 연구가설 검증을 위하여 국내 제조기업 종사자 517명의 설문결과를 확보하고, SPSS 18.0과 AMOS 20.0을 사용하여 분석하였다. 실증분석결과, 첫째, CSR활동은 경영혁신에 긍정적인 영향을 나타내었다. 둘째, 경영혁신과 재무성과는 긍정적인 관계를 보였다. 셋째, CSR활동과 재무성과간에 경영혁신의 매개효과를 확인하였다. 마지막으로 CSR활동과 경영혁신의 관계에서 기업의 규모에 따른 부분적인 조절효과만을 확인할 수 있었다. 연구결과를 통하여 제조기업의 사회적책임활동에 대한 방향성을 제시하였으며, 향후 다양한 매개변인에 대한 추가 분석을 통하여 CSR활동과 재무성과간의 체계적인 이론을 정립할 필요가 있다.
