The purpose of this study was to identify employees' perception of social and economic values that social enterprises pursue and to provide implications for the training of social enterprise workers. The main results are as follows. First, more than half of the social enterprise workers recognized that economic value and social value were equally important. In addition, the responsibilities of realizing corporate social values were somewhat higher than those of employees. The social value of the social enterprise should be pursued in preference to the value for the company and its members. However, efforts to set goals for the social value of social enterprises were lacking. Second, social enterprise workers generally had a high perception of economic value and recognized that the responsibility and effort of management was more important than the employees in order to realize economic value. Third, the higher the age of workers, the higher the importance of social value than economic value, emphasized the responsibility of the manager, and the less the work experience, the more important is the social value and the manager's responsibility. While commercial enterprise workers are highly aware of the importance of economic value, non-profit enterprise workers are highly aware of the importance of social value. In the future, it will be necessary to provide an educational support program that allows workers to recognize the social and economic value of social enterprises in a balanced manner. Efforts are needed to develop, monitor and monitor standardized measures for measuring the value of social enterprises.

This study examines respondents' perception of influence of corporate social responsibility on the corporate effectiveness. Also it investigates the relationship between Machiavellianism and corporate social responsibility. Survey data were collected from undergraduate business students, Advance Management Program attendants and business professors of Hallym University. The results show that they perceive corporate social responsibility's positive contribution to profitability and success. Older respondents thought more positively about contributions of corporate social responsibility to short-run success than younger ones. Also Machiavellian scores of older ones were lower than those of younger ones. The findings indicate that Machiavellianism influences directly respondents' perception of corporate social responsibility. It implies that understanding of human nature is important to induce corporate managers to be socially responsible.

최근에 현대·기아자동차는 경제적 성과에만 매달려서는 지속적인 성장을 보장할 수 없다는 판단 하에, 새해부터 경영 방침을 경제적 성과 중시에서 환경 경영과 사회적 책임을 동시에 강조하는 지속가능경영으로 전환한다는 발표를 했다. 일본 기업들도 지금까지는 주로 환경 관련 이슈들을 기업 경쟁력 제고 차원에서 활용하던 모습에서 벗어나, 이제는 환경 뿐 아니라 좀 더 포괄적인 의미에서 기업의 사회적 책임을 새로이 추구할 가치로 인식하고 있다. (중략)

Recently, the perception of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has changed. Until now, corporate social responsibility has been recognized as a temporary means to improve the image of a company, but there is a growing recognition that it is a prerequisite for sustainable growth of the entity. Social responsibility of enterprises has altered according to the times and economic environment, and as the global value chain has become important, it has become a growth strategy for small and medium-sized exporters. Under these circumstances, CSR is increasingly an integral part of the activities of companies, and this is no exception for small and medium-sized enterprises. Nevertheless, Korean small businesses' CSR is still lacking, and so the case of Japan, where CSR has spread to small and medium-sized businesses despite the short period of time, is believed to give us policy implications. In the Japanese case, corporate social responsibility has been traditionally passed down by Omi merchants in the 17th century. The social responsibility of a company they thought was summed up by the so-called "sanspo-yoshi spirit" that is beneficial to sellers, benefits to buyers and helps society. Based on the case of Japan's CSR, which has been applied smoothly even to its small and medium-sized companies, this paper intends to suggest the following policy implications. First, the establishment and dissemination of a national long-term plan is necessary. Second, it is urgent for smaller businesses to introduce their strategic CSRs. Third, CSR, which does mutual cooperation between large and small businesses, should be pursued.

As the society's expectations of business have drastically amplified in recent years, an increasing number of companies have devoted their resources and managerial attention to corporate social responsibility. However, little information bas been reported on consumers' expectations on social responsibility of restaurant companies. This research studied the consumer's perception on the socially responsible business practices of restaurant companies. The research also investigated if the customer's expectations differ based on the types of restaurants. Overall, it was found that the consumers strongly feel the necessities of restaurants' socially responsible activities and publicity of those activities (4.08 and 4.05, respectively, out of 5). They also responded that the socially responsible behaviors of restaurants somewhat affect their purchase decisions (3.74 out of 5). As a result of a principle component analysis, five types of socially responsible activities(i.e., philanthropic responsibility, economic responsibility, community responsibility, environmental protection responsibility, and consumer protection responsibility) were extracted. In addition, the results showed that the consumer's expectations toward socially responsible activities of restaurants differ based on the types of restaurants (multivariate F=4.616, p=0.000).

개방화 및 국제화의 물결과 함께 세계 경제계에서 지배적 지위를 차지하는 거대한 초국적 기업들의 수가 증가하게 되면서, 이들 기업이 환경 파괴, 노사문제, 개발도상국의 빈곤문제에 책임이 있다는 기업의 사회적 책임론(Corporate Social Responsibility: CSR)이 강조되고 있다. 우리나라에서의 CSR활동은 일부 기업에 의해서만 이루지고 있고 분식회계, 환경오염 및 외국인 근로자에 대한 차별대우 등과 같은 법률이나 윤리에 저촉되는 행위들이 거듭되고 있다. 따라서 우리나라 기업들의 CSR에 대한 인식과 활동은 미흡한 면이 있고 이에 대한 개선이 필요하다고 본다.
