본 연구에서는 사회적기업육성법에 의해 인증 받은 한국의 사회적 기업을 대상으로 사회적 기업 운영자 및 주요 경영진의 마케팅 지향성((1) 고객지향성, (2) 경쟁자 지향성 (3) 부서간 유효성)이 기업의 경영성과((1) 재무성과 (2) 사업성과 (3) 조직효과성 )에 미치는 영향을 고찰하고자 한다. 사회적 기업은 수익성과 공공성을 동시에 추구하는 목적을 가지고 있기 때문에 일반적 의미의 기업이라 보기 어렵다. 무엇보다도 이윤의 극대화가 제한되기 때문이다. 또한 현재 사회적 기업에 대한 접근이 복지적 측면에서 많이 이루어지고 있는 것도 사실이다. 그러나 현대적 의미의 사회적 기업은 일정부분 일반기업과 경쟁해야 하기 때문에 스스로의 경쟁력을 갖추어야만 지속성을 유지할 수 있으며 사회적 비용을 절감할 수 있다. 사회적 기업이 일정한 수익성을 지속적으로 추구하지 못하는 경우 정부의 재정 부담이 증가하여 사업의 지속성이 어려움에 빠지게 될 수도 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사회적 기업의 마케팅 지향성에 따른 경영성과를 실증 분석해 봄으로써 사회적 기업이 가져야할 무형자산인 마케팅지향적 사고 및 행위에 대한 시사점을 도출해 보고자 한다.

The purpose of this present study is to empirically analyze the variables affecting socio-economic performance of social enterprises. For this purpose of 107 enterprises, located in Seoul, was performed under the hypothesis that the authentication properties (authentication type, authentication year) of social enterprises will affect the socio-economic performance. The analysis showed that first; authentication type among the characteristics of social enterprises showed significant effects on the social performance. Second, authentication year among the characteristics of social enterprises showed significant effects on the economic performances. In addition, since the job-creating type showed higher social performance, it would be desirable to raise the certification rate of this type in the future. The analysis implied that longer the years of accreditation, the greater positive effects on the socio-economic performance of social enterprises was shown. Therefore, the present study suggest the need to diversify support policies according to the number of authentication years in order to secure sustainability by maximizing the socio-economic performance of social enterprise because the monolithic support is not very effective for continued growth and self-reliance of social enterprises.
