The purpose of the study is to examine the influential factors of sustainable management on performance at the public body, analyze how sustainable management makes a difference in performance according to the types of public body, and provide a better explanation of sustainable management and political implication for the development of sustainable management with the public body.
In order to do the study, the study investigated the influential factors on the performance at the public body based on the discussions of various academic theories and experiences on the relevant issues and global criteria and guidelines of sustainable management, and examined the experience and recognition on sustainable management for the members working at the public body.
In light of this approach, the study 1) used Elkington(1994)'s Tripple Bottom Line for sustainable management, 2) deduced independent variables for sustainable management based on UNGC(UN Global Compact), GRI G3(Global Reporting Initiative G3), ISO 26000(International Organization for Standardization 26000), and DJSI(Dow Jones Sustainability Index) used most for the criteria and guidelines of sustainable management, and Korea's KoBEX SM's management method, performance index, key subject, and the detailed practice contents, 3) used the following variables as subordinate variables; finance performance, risk management, and moral management at an economic level, human rights management, social responsibility, and consumer safety at a social level, and energy efficiency, environmental pollution prevention, and resource recycling at an environmental level, 4) analyzed the influential factors of the performance as dependent variables, and 5) considered extra factors such as individuality (sex, age, education level) and organizational experience (work period, officer rank, office division, work institution). The survey was done for the members working at the 28 designated public body and 82 associate government body, and got 479 cases as valuable subjects, and operated a number of statistics such as correlation, factor analysis, and multiple regression using SPSS 20.0.
For the reliability of the factor analysis in the study, the following independent variables were used; finance performance, risk management, and moral management at an economic level, human rights management, social responsibility, and consumer safety at a social level, and energy efficiency, environmental pollution prevention, and resource recycling at an environmental level, and dependent variables used were the influential factors on the recognized public body's performance.
The validity for the factors used in the study was found significant and for the reliability of the factors the six dependent variables and 42 items were analyzed finally except cooperation company and common R&D(E2_4) at an economic level and employee's health safety support/aid (S1_5) and women's health/childbirth support/nursing at a social level.
For independent variables, the following six variables such as finance performance, moral management, customer satisfaction, regional society responsibility, labor-management, environment management were found significant and for dependent variables only factors at a social level and an environmental level were found significant, not at an economic level.
For the result of the effect of sustainable management on the performance at the public body in each type, the factors at an economic level were found not significant overall. The factors influenced on the performance for the market friendly public body and consignment associate government body were customer satisfaction, regional society responsibility, labor-management, and environment management. The factors significantly affected on associate market friendly public body and fund management associate government body were customer satisfaction, regional society responsibility, and environment management. Thus the recognition on sustainable management for the members of public body was focused on at an environmental level and a social level.
For correlation, dependent variable of performance and independent variables of finance performance, moral management, regional society responsibility, labor-management, and environment management were found significant in the study.
For multiple regression, the factors of customer satisfaction, regional society responsibility, labor-management, and environment management were found significant except finance performance and moral management for the effect of sustainable management on the performance at the economic, social, and environmental levels. The most influential factor on the performance was environment management, and customer satisfaction and society responsibility were followed by.
In addition, the factors influenced on sustainable management were found significant also in the following areas; finance performance and moral management at an economic level, customer satisfaction, society responsibility, and labor-management at a social level, and only environment management at an environmental level.
In conclusion, the factors influenced most on sustainable management for the members working at the public body were found significant in the following areas such as customer satisfaction, society responsibility, labor-management, and environment management. In contrast, the factors at an economic level was found not significant. This may be due to the characteristics of works at the public body such as service for people, industrial promotion, etc. And for regression, the standardized beta coefficient was shown greater in the following order of environment management, customer satisfaction, regional society responsibility, labor-management that the recognition of the members working at the public body was focused on at the environmental and social levels. Therefore the study indicates the needs of a sustainable management at all three levels at a balanced level and management strategies that suitable policy measures and effort are required for that matter.
