초록

본 연구는 사회적 자본 이론을 기반으로 디지털 전략이 기업의 관계적 행동, 인지 차원, 지속적인 디지털 전환을 통해 기업 성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구모형은 1년 이상 근무한 국내 기업 종사자 300명을 대상으로 2024년 2월 20일부터 2월 23일 설문으로 수집한 자료를 이용해 테스트하였으며, Smart PLS 4.0을 사용하였다. 주요 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 디지털 전략이 조직 내 협력과 상호작용을 촉진하고 구성원들의 디지털 기술 이해와 인식을 향상시키며, 지속적인 변화와 혁신을 통해 기업의 경쟁력을 강화하는 데 중요한 역할을 한다는 것이 확인되었다. 둘째, 지속적인 디지털 전환과 인지 차원이 기업 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 반면, 관계적 행동 차원의 영향은 유의미하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 디지털 전략이 단순한 기술 도입을 넘어 조직 내 상호작용과 인식 변화를 촉진함으로써 기업성과에 중요한 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 시사하며, 한국 기업들이 디지털 전환을 효과적으로 추진할 수 있는 전략적 시사점을 제공한다.

This study analyzes the impact of digital strategy on firm performance through relational behavior, cognitive dimensions, and continuous digital transformation based on social capital theory. The research model was tested using data collected from a survey of 300 domestic corporate employees who have worked for over a year, conducted from February 20 to 23, 2024, using Smart PLS 4.0. The key findings of the study are as follows: First, it was confirmed that digital strategy plays a crucial role in promoting cooperation and interaction within the organization, enhancing members' understanding and perception of digital technology, and strengthening the firm's competitiveness through continuous change and innovation. Second, continuous digital transformation and cognitive dimensions positively impact firm performance, while the influence of relational behavior dimensions was found to be insignificant. These findings suggest that digital strategy can significantly affect firm performance by fostering interaction and perception changes within the organization, beyond mere technology adoption, and provide strategic implications for Korean firms to effectively pursue digital transformation.
