Abstract

The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze and provide implications for the impact on performance, focusing on Environmental Sustainability, innovation orientation, and integrated activities among the factors necessary for sustainable management of SMEs. 366 copies obtained from executives and representatives above the department head level of domestic manufacturing SMEs through professional research companies were used for the final analysis, and the research hypothesis was verified using SmartPLS 3.0 and SPSS 25. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that Environmental Sustainability had a significant effect on social integration and technology integration, and innovation orientation had a significant effect on social integration and technology integration. In addition, it was confirmed that social integration and technology integration factors had a significant effect on the sustainability performance of SMEs. Based on these research results, theoretical, practical, and future research directions could be presented. According to the results of this study, it can be expected that manufacturing SMEs will be able to receive help in establishing strategies related to innovation orientation, social integration, and technology integration to achieve sustainable performance.

본 연구는 지속가능경영을 위한 중소기업의 주요 요인 중 환경적 지속가능성과 혁신지향성 그리고 통합활동을 중심으로 지속가능성 성과에 미치는 영향에 대해 실증분석하고 시사점을 제공하고자 한다. 연구수행을 위해 국내 제조 중소기업의 부서장급 이상 임원과 대표로 전문 리서치회사를 통하여 획득한 366부를 최종분석에 사용하였으며, SmartPLS 3.0과 SPSS 25를 활용하여 연구가설을 검증하였다. 분석결과 환경적 지속가능성이 사회적통합과 기술통합에 유의한 영향을 미치고, 혁신지향성이 사회적통합과 기술통합에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인하였다. 또한, 사회적통합과 기술통합 요인이 중소기업의 지속가능성 성과에 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 확인하였다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 이론적 시사점과 실무적 시사점 및 향후 연구 방향을 제시하였다. 본 연구 결과를 참조하면 제조 중소기업들이 지속가능성 성과를 달성하기 위한 혁신지향성, 사회적통합 및 기술통합 관련 전략을 수립하는데 도움을 받을 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
