Abstract

In the B2B context, recent research on how CSR builds the relationship between buyer and supplier has mainly focused the topic that establishing the long-term relationship asset. To fill this gap, the current study proposes a research model to examine how buyer's corporate social responsibilities(business and philanthropic CSR) affect supplier's new product creativity(internal capability) and its mediated link through trust and quality of information exchange. To test the hypotheses, responses were obtained from 197 marketing or buying managers in B2B firms. The empirical results confirm that both business and philanthropic CSR are positively related to trust. Second, trust also positively influences quality of information exchange. Finally, quality of information exchange has a positive relationship with new product creativity as internal capabilities of suppliers. The theoretical and practical implications of results and limitations of this research are discussed.

B2B 맥락 하에서 구매기업의 CSR 활동의 효과에 대한 연구는 공급업체와의 장기적 관계자산구축이라는 전통적 연구주제에서 벗어나지 못해왔다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존 연구와의 간극을 좁히기 위해 구매기업의 CSR 활동이 공급업체의 내부역량에 미치는 영향과 그 메커니즘을 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 공급업체의 내부역량을 신제품 창의성으로 설정하고 구매기업의 CSR 활동이 신뢰 및 정보교환 품질에 미치는 구체적 경로에 대해 파악하였다. 구매기업의 마케팅 및 구매담당자 197명을 대상으로 한 설문조사 결과, 구매기업의 기업경영 CSR 활동과 자선적 CSR 활동은 모두 공급업체의 신뢰에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었고, 신뢰는 정보교환의 품질에, 정보교환 품질은 공급업체의 신제품 창의성에 긍정적 영향을 미치고 있음을 실증하였다. 이러한 실증결과를 바탕으로 구매업자와 공급업체 간의 장기적 관계구축을 위한 이론 및 실무적 시사점을 제공하였다.
