Abstract
This paper expands the results of previous studies indicating that manager's ability positively affects business performance to analyze whether the degree to which the role of manager's ability improves business performance appears differently according to the characteristics of enterprises. As for the characteristics of enterprises, whether enterprises correspond to enterprises with high levels of funding constraints or late movers in the market is considered. Enterprises with high levels of funding constraints greatly require managers' roles not only for efficient use of funds but also for smooth financing. Late movers require more judgments of professional managers to overcome insufficient resources held and low profitability. In the case of enterprises with corporate characteristics with high dependency on the manager, the business performance is expected to greatly vary with the ability of the manager. The empirical analysis was conducted with listed companies from 2010 to 2014, manager's ability was measured by first measuring the efficiency of the entire enterprise through data envelopment analysis (DEA) using the methodology of Demerjian et al.(2012) and removing enterprise characteristics factors thereafter. Business performance was measured by the return on industrial fixed assets. The results of the empirical analysis indicated that the degree to which manager's ability improves business performance was higher in managerial competence enhances managerial performance in enterprises with high levels of funding constraints and late movers. Business performance is considered to have been improved further in cases where manager's ability is high because investments were made more efficiently through smooth funding. In addition, in the case of late movers in relatively poor environments, business performance was improved further because high manager's ability induced efficient decision making. In this paper, we extend the precedent study that the manager's ability improves the management performance, and confirm that the manager's ability to improve the managerial performance can be different according to the situation of the company. In addition, it is meaningful to analyze empirically whether a company's managerial ability is more important. This paper expanded the results of previous studies indicating that manager's ability improves performance to identify that the degree to which manager's ability improves business performance may appear differently according to situations in which enterprises are placed. In addition, this paper is meaningful in that it empirically analyzed what enterprises require manager's ability more importantly.
본 논문은 경영자능력이 경영성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 선행연구 결과를 확장하여, 경영성과를 높이는 경영자능력의 역할 정도가 기업특성에 따라 다르게 나타나는지를 분석한다. 기업특성으로는 자금제약이 높은 기업과 시장 내에서 후발기업에 해당하는지 여부를 고려한다. 자금제약이 높은 기업은 자금의 효율적인 사용뿐만 아니라 원활한 자금조달 측면에서도 경영자의 역할이 크게 요구되며, 후발기업은 부족한 보유자원과 낮은 수익성을 극복하기 위해서는 더욱 전문적인 경영자의 판단이 필요하다. 경영자에 대한 의존도가 높은 기업특성을 보유한 경우에는 경영자의 능력에 따라 경영성과가 크게 변동할 것으로 예상된다. 실증분석은 2000년부터 2012년의 상장기업을 대상으로 하였으며, 경영자능력은 Demerjian et al.(2012)의 방법론을 이용하여 먼저 자료포락분석(DEA)을 통해 기업 전체의 효율성을 측정한 다음 기업특성요인을 제거함으로써 경영자능력을 측정하였다. 경영성과는 자산수익률(ROA)로 측정하였다. 실증분석 결과, 자금제약이 높은 기업과 후발기업의 경우에 경영자능력이 경영성과를 높이는 정도가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 경영자능력이 높을 경우 원활한 자금조달을 통하여 더욱 효율적인 투자를 진행함으로써 경영성과가 더 크게 증가한 것으로 해석된다. 또한, 상대적으로 열악한 환경에 있는 후발기업에서 높은 경영자능력이 효율적인 의사결정을 유도함으로써 경영성과가 더 크게 증가한 것으로 해석된다. 본 논문은 기업이 처한 상황에 따라 경영자능력이 경영성과를 높이는 정도가 다르게 나타날 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 어떤 기업에서 경영자능력이 더욱 중요하게 요구되는지를 실증적으로 분석하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
