本研究通过对能源密集型企业的问卷调查，对韩国的工业节能活动(ESA)进行了测量，并确定了其决定因素。超过90%的样本已经实践了机构和管理ESA，所需的成本和工作量相对较低。尽管企业感受到了来自政府管制的强大压力，并认识到行业协会的重要性，但外部强制性、规范性和模仿性因素目前仍未对其ESA产生显著影响。作为内部因素，节能意愿、高层管理人员的支持和针对节能的内部培训决定了一家公司的ESA实践水平。经济激励，如财政补贴，对于鼓励公司参与ESA是有用的。韩国政府还将为企业，特别是中小企业提供更多的技术支持，以提高它们对新启动的工业能效强制性法规的快速反应能力。
This study measures industrial energy saving activities (ESAs) in the Republic of Korea and identifies their determinant factors by a questionnaire survey to the energy-intensive companies. More than 90% of the samples have practiced the institutional and managerial ESAs, requiring relatively lower costs and efforts. Although the companies have felt strong pressures from the governmental regulations and recognized the importance of industrial associations, the externally coercive, normative and mimetic factors still indicate no significant influence on their ESAs at present. As internal factors, the willingness for energy saving, support from top management and internal training specific for energy saving determine a company's practice level of ESAs. Economic incentives, like financial subsidies, are useful for encouraging the company's involvement in ESAs. Korean government shall also provide more technical support to the companies, particularly the small and medium-sized ones, for enhancing their capacities in promptly reacting to the newly initiated mandatory regulations on industrial energy efficiency.
