Abstract

Initiatives for corporate social responsibility (CSR) have often served as sources of competitive advantage in the business world. Although the adoption of CSR practices in the hotel industry continues to increase, empirical research on the relationship between them and financial performance in the industryremains scarce. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the effects of various dimensions of CSR on the financial performance of corporations in the U.S. hotel industry. Data include Kinder, Lydenburg & Domini social performance scores and Compustat data of hotels from 1991 to 2015 identified using a Standard Industrial Classification code. Results of ordinary least squares regression using Stata revealed that efforts toward CSR have significantly affected the financial performance of numerous hotels. Such findings can initiate discussions and inspire future research on CSR in the hospitality industry.

기업의 사회적 책임 (CSR)을 위한 관행은 비즈니스 세계에서 경쟁우위의 원천이 되었습니다. 이에 따라 호텔 산업에서 이러한 관행의 계속적으로 증가하고 있지만, 이러한 관행과 기업의 재무적 성과 간의 관계에 관한 실증적 연구는 아직 많이 부족한 실정입니다. 따라서 이 연구의 목적은 미국 호텔 산업에서 기업의 사회적 책임의 다양한 차원의 영향이 미국 호텔산업의 재무적 성과에 미치는 영향을 확인하는데 있습니다. 이를 검증하기 위해서 본 연구는 KLD 통계 및 1991-2015년 SIC 코드를 사용하여 얻은 COMPUSTAT 데이터를 이용합니다. STATA를 이용한 OLS 회귀분석방법은 호텔의 사회적 책임이 호텔의 재무적 성과에 유의한 영향을 미친다는 것을 보여줍니다. 본 연구의 연구결과는 호텔산업의 사회적 책임에 관한 마케팅활동에 활용할 수 있는 유용한 정보를 제공하는데 의의가 있습니다.
