In an intensively competitive global market, small-and medium-sized firms are puzzled about how to develop sustainable competitive advantages against global rivalries, thus leading satisfactory economic performance. However, despite the roles and contributions of such small-and medium-sized firms in the local community and national economies in Japan, little guidance has been offered to the practical issues related to their strategic behaviors toward global management. To fill this notable knowledge gap, this study aims to investigate the conditions in which how Japanese small-and medium-sized could dominates global market, which is one of key challenges in the literature of small business and entrepreneurship. To obtain better insights to this research area, this study undertakes an in-depth interview survey with I.S.T (Industrial Summit Technology) Corporation that shows off the highest global market share (40 per cent) with seamless polyimide tube product widely used in office automation equipment (e.g., copiers and printers). This method of survey is designed to deeply understand historical considerations about how I.S.T Corporation could dominate in the global market of such seamless polyimide tube product. Based on findings drawn from an interview, this study identifies five major factors enabling I.S.T Corporation to be a competitive global hidden company: vision sharing through founder's entrepreneurship, core competence, strategic network, risk management, and employee engagement. Specifically, to become a global hidden champion, sharing the vision motivating employees to partake in shaping company's future will be the first step on the road to global success through founder's entrepreneurship. However, in order to achieve such a vision, the importance of company's core competence cannot be overemphasized, which differentiates your customer solution with those of competitors. As such, a group of experts will be naturally formed and demonstrates your expertise in the global market, thereby building sustainable competitiveness. On the other hand, to maintain sustainable competitiveness, it is necessary to make up for the weaknesses small-and medium-sized firms suffer from competitive resources while strengthening their own strengths through strategic networks with external organizations. Here, every company has to understand the critical role of risk management, which is essential in this process of being global company so as not to lose your own strengths. Last but not least, do not forget the significant effects of employee engagement in firm performance. To enhance employees' engagement, a company has to create an ideal organization culture which fits into company's history and personality. In doing so, such organization culture can allow the vision and strategy to be implemented into detailed business tactics while facilitating employees to challenge the status quo by experimenting with creative ideas.

본 연구의 목적은 정부의 강력한 의지로 추진되고 있는 저탄소 녹색성장 정책을 중소건설회사 직원들이 적극적으로 받아들이고 이를 강점으로 활용하는 노력이 필요하다는 것에 주목하고, 구성원들의 녹색성장 정책 인지와 신뢰, 그리고 자기효능감이 조직몰입에 미치는 영향과 녹색성장 정책 인지가 조직몰입에 미치는 영향에 있어서 정책신뢰, 회사신뢰의 매개효과와 조절효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 또한 회사신뢰와 조직몰입에 대해 구성원들의 자기효능감이 촉진요인으로 작용할 것인지에 대해 조사하였다. 연구결과, 구성원들이 녹색성장 정책에 대한 인식이 높으면 직원들의 회사에 대한 조직몰입의 정도가 정(+)적으로 유의미하게 높아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 녹색성장 인식과 조직몰입간에 정책신뢰의 매개효과와 조절효과는 나타나지 않았으나, 회사신뢰는 부분매개하고 있음과 조절효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 자기효능감은 회사신뢰와 조직몰입 간에 통계적으로 유의미하게 부분매개하고 있어 촉진요인으로 작용함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 녹색성장 정책인식이 회사신뢰를 매개로 조직몰입에 영향을 주며, 회사신뢰는 구성원들의 자기효능감을 매개로 조직몰입에 영향을 주는 새로운 모형을 제시하였다. 즉, 정책인식, 회사신뢰, 자기효능감, 조직몰입 변수들 간의 이론을 통합하고 그 논리를 확대하였다는 점에서 이론적 시사점이 있다고 할 수 있다. 또한 정책인식은 회사신뢰를 매개로 하여, 회사신뢰는 자기효능감을 매개로 하여 조직몰입에 영향을 미치기에 정책인식과 회사신뢰를 향상시킬 수 있는 방안을 모색하여야 할 것임을 시사하고 있다.

The purpose of this study is to explore relationships between company's characteristics, the status of business ethics education, employee perceptions of corporate business ethics, and organizational performance. A total of 161 small- and medium-sized apparel companies participated in a survey and data was analyzed using cross-tabulation, ANOVA, and SPSS PROCESS. The results show that, larger companies involved with export are more likely to implement business ethics education, whereas no company characteristic is associated with perceptions of corporate business ethics. Furthermore, apparel companies that implemented or planned to implement business ethics education, have employees with more positive perceptions of corporate business ethics and better organizational performance than fashion companies that have no plan to implement such education. In addition, companies in the apparel sector with higher employee perceptions of corporate business ethics had greater organizational performance than apparel companies with lower employee perceptions of corporate business ethics. This study emphasizes the need to implement business ethics education to enhance employee perceptions of company business ethics, which in turn promotes organizational performance. It is expected that the results of this study will positively affect the development and expansion of business ethics education programs and contribute to the foundation of knowledge for business ethics education for fashion companies.
