기술-조직-환경요인이 철강, 석유화학, 시멘트 수출기업의 탄소감축 의도에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구

This study investigated the intent to reduce carbon emissions at steel, petrochemical, and cement exporter companies, which rank first to third in carbon emissions in South Korea. This research concluded by attempting to present implications and countermeasures. The 202 survey results obtained from the industry were modeled into a technology-organization-environment (TOE) model and an integrated technology acceptance model (UTAUT), upon which an empirical analysis was conducted through structural equations. The analysis showed that technological suitability, innovation orientation, and government support have a significant impact on performance expectations, which impact aims to reduce carbon emissions. This study suggests carbon reduction technologies best suitable for the financial and business models of steel, petrochemical, and cement companies. It also notes the benefit of a less top-down, horizontal organizational structure to the sharing of innovative ideas within the organization. In particular, in order to support CEOs who have not been affected, the government is urged to provide training on the details and necessity of CBAM response and carbon reduction for CEOs, thereby minimizing management losses caused by CBAM which is to be implemented in earnest in 2026.
