초록
본 연구는 해외시장에 진출한 한국기업 현지자회사의 CSR 활동의 유형과 동인을 살펴보고, 현지자회사의 CSR 활동이 자회사의 경영성과에 기여하는지를 분석해 보고자 하였다. 먼저, 제도이론, 이해관계자이론 및 자원기반이론 등 기존 CSR 연구이론을 통합적인 시각에서 조망하면서 현지자회사 CSR 활동을 반응적 CSR과 전략적 CSR로 유형화하고, 전략적 CSR을 중심으로 CSR 활동의 동인을 파악하였으며, 더 나아가 각각의 CSR 유형과 경영성과와의 관계를 연구모형으로 설계하여 검증하였다. 본 논문에서는 현지자회사의 CSR 활동을 반응적 CSR과 전략적 CSR로 구분하였는데, 반응적 CSR 활동이 현지에서의 법, 규제에 대한 대응적 성격이 강한 반면, 전략적 CSR 활동은 현지에서의 네트워크 구축, 경영자원 투자 및 가치사슬 혁신활동과 연계하여 보다 장기적이고 전략적인 특성을 갖고 있다. CSR의 동인에 관한 연구결과, 현지 ‘이해관계자의 영향력’ 및 자회사의 ‘현지화 수준’ 변수가 반응적 CSR보다는 전략적 CSR에 보다 큰 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. CSR과 경영성과에 관한 연구결과는 전략적 CSR이 반응적 CSR보다 현지자회사의 재무 및 비재무성과 모두에 보다 큰 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 한국기업 해외자회사를 대상으로 해외자회사의 CSR 활동을 반응적 CSR과 전략적 CSR로 유형화하고 경영성과와의 관계를 실증적으로 분석하였다는 점에 그 의의가 있다. 또한 탐색적 시도로써 전략적 CSR의 특징을 정의하고 전략적 CSR의 동인 및 성과효과에 있어 반응적 CSR과의 상대적인 영향도를 분석해 봄으로써 기존 CSR 문헌의 연구범위를 확대하였다. 본 연구 결과는 글로벌 시장에서의 위상 및 역할이 증가하고 있는 한국기업의 해외자회사들이 현지 이해관계자 및 제도 특성은 물론 역량과 전략방향을 고려하여 현지에서의 지속가능경영 관점에서 CSR 활동의 정책방향을 수립하고 세부 프로그램을 설계하는데 시사점을 제공할 것으로 기대된다.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to identify determinants and types of CSR activities of Korean foreign subsidiaries and examine their performance effects. This paper divides the CSR activities of foreign subsidiaries into responsive and strategic CSR activities. Empirical analysis was conducted based on survey data collected from 177 Korean foreign subsidiaries. The paper found that stakeholder interest had a significant influence on strategic CSR activities, but no effect responsive CSR activities. Secondary stakeholder groups such as non-government organizations (NGOs) and local communities were especially influential in determining strategic CSR activities. Secondly, localization variable had a more significant positive impact on strategic CSR than on responsive CSR. More specifically, localization in R&D, marketing, and production had a major effect on the strategic CSR activities of subsidiaries. However, the autonomy of subsidiaries was not significantly related to both responsive and strategic CSR activities. Regarding the performance effect of CSR, strategic CSR activities overall had a more substantial impact on both non-financial and financial performances than responsive CSR activities. While both responsive and strategic CSR activities of subsidiaries have a positive effect on non-financial performance, it is only the strategic CSR activities that have an impact on financial performance. This result may be due to the fact that strategic CSR by nature intends both social benefits and business sustainability through a strong local network, aggressive resource investment, and value chain innovation. This paper expands on extant CSR literature by identifying two different types of CSR activities of Korean subsidiaries, i.e. responsive and strategic CSR activities, and by examining their relative impact on performance.
