중국기업의 국제화 수준과 사회적 책임활동에 관한 연구

This study collected data from 852 listed enterprises in mainland China for 5 years from 2015 to 2019, and conducted an empirical analysis on the impact of internationalization on CSR activities of Chinese enterprises. As a result, it was confirmed that there was a positive (+) relationship between the level of internationalization of Chinese enterprises and CSR, and it was found that internationalization of Chinese enterprises can promote and facilitate CSR activities. Furthermore, The positive impact of internationalization on CSR activities was found to be applied more strongly to state-owned enterprises with high political relevance. This can be interpreted that state-owned enterprises can recognize the need for CSR more strongly in order to overcome their political disadvantages in local countries, and on the other hand, they can secure more resources for CSR activities through their networks with the government. This study contributed theoretically in that the relationship between the internationalization of Chinese enterprises and CSR was identified through empirical analysis with data published in China. The findings of this study reveal that the increase in overseas management activities of Chinese enterprises is an important driver of CSR implementation, suggesting an important role of internationalization in enhancing the CSR level.
