Abstract

Recently many companies are utilizing CSR as an important strategic means because of increasing concern about CSR from society and securing a sustainable competitive advantage. With this background, this study conducted an empirical investigation using a statistical tool based on survey data about a casual relationship between organizational capabilities, proactive CSR, reactive CSR and Business Performance from a RBV perspective. The result of this empirical study is as follows, First, SME's specified organizational capabilities have positive and significant effect on a proactive CSR. Second, the proactive CSR is positively related with business performance but reactive CSR is not like that. Third, SME's organizational capabilities do not have a positive and significant effect on business performance directly but have a indirect effect on business performance through proactive CSR which is a value creating activity. This research is likely to give some contribution to both SME's CSR study and resource based view (RBV) research.

최근 기업의 사회적책임(CSR)에 대한 사회로부터의 관심증대와 기업의 지속적 경쟁우위확보를 위한 기업혁신의 중요한 전략적 수단으로 많은 기업들은 CSR을 적극 활용하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 자원기반관점(RBV) 측면에서 중소기업 특유의 조직역량들과 자발적이고 적극적인 CSR활동인 선제적 CSR, 수동적이고 소극적 CSR활동인 반응적 CSR 및 경영성과 상호간에 미치는 영향관계에 대하여 설문조사를 바탕으로 통계분석기법 등을 활용하여 실증조사 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 중소기업 특유의 조직역량들은 선제적 CSR과는 유의미한 관계가 존재하였다. 둘째, 선제적 CSR은 경영성과와 유의미한 관계가 있는 반면에 반응적 CSR은 유의하지 않았다. 셋째, 중소기업 특유의 조직역량들은 경영성과에 직접적으로는 영향을 주지는 않으나 가치창조활동인 선제적 CSR활동에 의하여 간접적으로 경영성과로 연결됨을 발견하는 등 기존 자원기반관점(RBV)이론관련 선행연구들과 일치함을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구결과는 향후 CSR과 자원기반관점이론 연구에 기여할 것으로 본다.
