대학 구성원의 ESG 인식조사를 통한 ESG 경영 전략 모색: I 대학교 사례를 중심으로

Recently, universities in Korea have conducted various studies to strengthen Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) management. These efforts contribute to establishing sustainable development strategies for universities and enhancing cooperation with local communities. In this context, this study focused on I University in the Incheon region, examining the process of conducting a survey to assess university members' ESG awareness and subsequently building an ESG management strategy based on the findings. The purpose of this study was to empirically analyze differences in ESG awareness among I University members and to suggest a procedure for linking them to strategic indicators through materiality assessment. From July 15 to August 2, 2024, a 130-question survey based on the K-ESG V2.0 indicators was conducted on faculty, staff, students, local communities, and industry. A total of 280 valid responses were analyzed, and differences in means between groups were tested using a one-way ANOVA. Key issues were identified by combining stakeholder importance and organizational impact. The analysis results showed that students rated E (Environment) and HEM (Higher Education Management) significantly higher, while staff members rated G (Governance) relatively lower (ex: p< .05). This study contributes academically and practically by converting and validating K-ESG indicators into a survey tool in a university context and linking the results to the design of I University's ESG KPI (82 indicators).
