중소기업의 수출이 사회적 책임활동(CSR)에 미치는 영향: 이해관계자 압력과 성장단계의 조절 효과를 중심으로 = The Effect of SMEs’ Exports on Corporate Social Responsibility: The Moderating Role of Stakeholder Pressure and Growth Stage

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examined the effects of exports on corporate social responsibilities (CSR) of small and medium enterprises(SMEs). Considering the distinctive features of SMEs, this study also scrutinized the moderating effect of stakeholder pressure and growth stage on the relationship between SMEs’ exports and CSR.
In order to conduct an empirical analysis, this study applied a Ministry of SMEs and Startups survey of SMEs’ CSR activities. This annual survey provides in-formation on the CSR activities of SMEs in Korea. The results of the analysis showed that export participation increases engagement in CSR of SMEs. It was found that the higher the pressure from the local community, which can be consid-ered as a major stakeholder in SMEs, and the more mature they are, the less pos-itive influence the export participation of SMEs have on CSR activities. While pre-vious studies mainly focused on large firms, CSR of SMEs has received less attention. Against the backdrop of growing importance of SMEs’ CSR, this study will be expected to broaden the scope of related research.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 중소기업의 수출활동이 사회적 책임활동(CSR) 수행에 미치는 영향에 대하여 살펴보고자 하였다. 또한 중소기업의 특성에 주목하여, 중소기업의 수출이 사회적 책임활동에 미치는 영향에 있어 이해관계자의 압력과 성장 단계가 어떠한 조절효과를 하는지에 대하여 함께 고찰하였다.
중소벤처기업부에서 실시한 “중소기업 CSR 실태조사”를 활용하여 실증 연구를 진행하였다. 분석 결과, 중소기업 의 수출활동은 사회적 책임활동을 활발하게 수행하도록 하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 중소기업의 주요 이해관계자라 고 할 수 있는 지역사회의 압력이 커질수록 중소기업의 수출이 사회적 책임 활동에 미치는 영향은 약화되며, 성숙 기에 접어든 중소기업의 경우에는 수출이 사회적 책임 활동에 미치는 영향력은 줄어드는 것으로 나타났다.
그동안 중소기업의 CSR과 관련한 연구들은 주로 재무적 성과와 관련하여 이루어져 왔으며, 어떠한 선행 요인들이 중소기업으로 하여금 CSR을 실행하도록 하는지 체계적으로 살펴본 연구들은 부족하다고 할 수 있다. 중소기업의 사회적 책임 활동의 중요성이 더욱 커지고 있는 현 상황에서 본 연구는 관련 분야의 연구의 폭을 넓히는데 기여 할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
