Abstract

This study was conducted for the purpose of analyzing the impact of ESG activities of gas-related energy companies (organizations) striving for carbon neutrality on job performance through employees' organizational pride and organizational trust. The survey results of 345 gas-related public organizations and private companies were analyzed using Smart PLS 4.0, and the research model and hypothesis were established and verified. As a result of the verification, ESG activities related to environmental (E) activities did not affect organizational pride and organizational trust, but social (S) activities and governance (G) activities were found to have a significant impact on organizational pride and organizational trust. In addition, organizational pride and organizational trust were found to have an effect on job performance. In particular, it was confirmed that the higher the organizational pride of ESG organization members, the higher the impact of organizational trust on job performance. The study seek to suggest a development direction relation to ESG activities of gas-related energy companies (organizations).

본 연구는 탄소중립을 위해 노력하는 가스 관련 에너지 기업(기관)의 ESG 활동이 종업원의 조직 자부심과 조직 신뢰를 통해 직무성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위한 목적으로 진행되었다. 345명의 가스 관련 공공기관과 민간기업에 종사하는 직원의 설문 결과를 Smart PLS 4.0을 사용하여 분석하였으며, 연구모형과 가설을 설정한 후 검증하였다. 검증 결과 환경(E) 활동과 관련한 ESG 활동은 조직 자부심과 조직 신뢰에 영향을 미치지 않았으나, 사회(S) 활동과 지배구조(G) 활동은 조직 자부심과 조직 신뢰에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 조직 자부심과 조직 신뢰는 직무성과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 ESG 조직구성원의 조직 자부심이 높을수록 조직신뢰가 직무성과에 미치는 영향이 높은 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 가스 관련 에너지 기업(기관)의 ESG 활동과 관련하여 발전적 방향을 제시하고자 한다.
