소셜 네트워크 분석과 토픽모델링을 활용한 국내 ESG 연구동향

Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to derive ESG-related trends covered in academic papers and newspaper articles through social network analysis and topic modeling. Design/Methodology/Approach – We used the data of 249 academic journals and 16,232 press articles for analysis. Findings – The results of this study show trends from various perspectives by analyzing papers and articles separately. Accordingly, it was confirmed that domestic ESG research is gradually expanding from social responsibility to environmental obligations. Research Implications – This study is meaningful in that the overall domestic trends in ESG management, a strategy for sustainable management in this era, were identified separately from academic studies and articles. It is effective in sharing the general knowledge of companies, and through the results, future complementary points for corporate competitiveness can also be discussed. It can also be referred to as basic data to identify and understand domestic ESG research topics, and to develop insights and directions for follow-up studies in sustainable management studies.
