Abstract

The importance of social responsibility such as ethical management and social contribution activities is emphasized for the sustainable growth of companies. Although there is a great deal of research on corporate social responsibility due to the increase in social interest and expectation, most of them have been limited to research on general manufacturing industry. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of social responsibility activities on financial performance. In addition, we want to analyze the difference in the financial performance of companies with excellent social responsibility activities announced by the Institute of Economic Justice and others. The analysis period is from 2011 to 2016, and we analyze using the robust regression methodology which is relatively effective in solving the autocorrelation and this dispersion problem. First, it is proved that the higher the KEJI index, the more positive effect on financial performance. In addition, we found that there is a significant difference in the financial performance of companies with excellent social responsibility activities and those with other social responsibility activities. These results will have important implications for establishing a firm's financial strategy and will serve as useful information for the financial industry that is striving for sustainable management.

기업의 지속가능한 성장을 위해 윤리경영이나 사회공헌활동 등 사회적 책임의 중요성이 더욱 강조되고 있다. 이러한 사회적 관심과 기대의 증가로 기업의 사회적 책임에 대한 연구가 많았음에도 불구하고 대부분 일반 제조업을 대상으로 한 연구에 국한되었다. 본 연구는 금융업을 대상으로 사회적 책임활동이 재무성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 함이 목적이다. 또한 경제정의연구소가 발표한 사회적 책임활동 우수기업과 그렇지 않은 기업의 재무성과에 대한 차별성을 분석하고자 한다. 분석기간은 2011년부터 2016년까지이며, 자기상관과 이분산 문제를 해결하는데 상대적으로 효과적인 Robust Regression 방법론을 이용하여 분석하고자 한다. 분석결과, 사회적 책임활동(KEJI 지수)가 높을수록 재무성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 사실을 검증하였다. 또한 사회적 책임활동 우수기업과 그렇지 기업의 재무성과에 유의한 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 기업의 재무전략수립에 중요한 시사점을 가질 것이며, 지속가능한 경영을 위해 노력하고 있는 금융업계에 유용한 정보로 작용할 것이다.
