Abstract

This study examined the factors influencing foreign direct investment(FDI) in OECD countries where Korea is a target country. The differences in the cultural distances of host and home countries and the difference in the perceptions of corruption have been used to identify the factors affecting foreign direct investment. As a result of the study, it was found that there are differences in foreign direct investment according to cultural dimension and corruption perceptions index. Foreign direct investment may increase or decrease depending on the cultural tendency and the higher the perceptions of corruption, the more active the investment. The smaller the power distance between host country and home country in the factors affecting foreign direct investment, the larger the number of investments and the larger the size of individualism versus collectivism. Foreign direct investment increased when the investing country's corruption perceptions index was high. The results of this study confirm that cultural and corruption perceptions can affect trade transactions. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the cultural tendency and the cultural distance in the trade transaction by confirming that the degree of culture and corruption perceptions can affect the trade transaction. And that it can influence trade and economic growth by appropriately managing social variables such as public corruption.

본 연구는 한국이 투자대상국인 OECD국가를 대상으로 외국인직접투자에 영향을 주는 요인을 파악하기 위하여 현지국과 투자국의 문화 거리와 부패인식지수의 차이를 활용하여 외국인직접투자에 영향을 주는 요인을 규명하였다. 연구결과 문화적 차원과 부패인식지수에 따라 외국인직접투자에 차이가 나타나는 것을 살펴볼 수 있었다. 문화적 성향에 따라 외국인직접투자가 증대될 수도 감소될 수도 있으며, 부패인식지수가 높을수록 투자가 활발하게 이루어졌다. 외국인직접투자에 영향을 주는 요인에 있어서 현지국과 투자국사이의 권력거리가 작을수록, 개인주의 대 집단주의 거리가 클수록 투자건수와 규모가 증대되는 것으로 나타났으며, 투자국의 부패인식지수가 높을 때 외국인직접투자가 증대되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 통하여 문화와 부패인식정도가 무역거래에 영향을 줄 수 있음을 확인함으로써 무역거래시 교역당사자간의 문화적 성향과 문화적 거리를 고려하여야 하며, 공공부패 등을 비롯한 사회적 변수를 적절하게 관리함으로써 무역 및 경제성장에 영향을 줄 수 있다는 시사점을 제시하였다.
