본 연구에서는 제대군인의 창업역량이 창업효능감을 매개하여 창업행동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 창업역량의 하위변수는 관리역량, 창의역량, 기술/전문역량으로 구성하였다. 제대군인들로부터 수집된 318개의 설문지를 실증분석에 사용하였다. 데이터 분석은 SPSS Win Ver.22.0과 PROCESS macro3.5의 통계 도구를 사용하였다. 분석 결과, 먼저 창업역량의 하위변수인 관리역량, 창의역량, 기술/전문가역량 모두 창업효능감에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로나타났다. 관리능력이 창업효능감에 미치는 영향이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났고, 창의역량이 가장작은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 창업효능감은 창업행동에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 창업역량의 하위변수인 관리역량과 창의역량만이 창업행동에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 기술/전문가역량의 영향은 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 관리역량은 창의역량보다 창업행동에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 창업효능감은관리역량과 창업행동 간, 기술/전문가역량과 창업행동 간을 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 창업효능감은 창의역량과 창업행동 사이를 매개하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 육군출신에 편향된 경향이 있어 결과를 일반화하는데 한계가 있다. 또한, 본 연구에서 채택한 창업역량은절대적인 측정항목이 아니기 때문에 창업행동에 대한 정확한 설명에는 한계가 있을 수 있다. 또한 창업행동뿐만 아니라 창업성공에 대한 연구의 범위를 확대할 필요가 있다. 따라서 향후연구에서는 세부적인 다른 변수의 개발 과정에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
In this study, the effect of the veterans’ start-up competency on the entrepreneurial behavior by mediating their entrepreneurial efficacy was analyzed. The sub-variables of start-up competency consisted of management competency, creative competency, and technical/professional competency. 318 questionnaires collected from veterans were used for empirical analysis. For data analysis, statistical tools of SPSS Win Ver.22.0 and PROCESS macro3.5 were used. As a result of the analysis, first, it was found that management competency, creative competency, and technical/professional competency, which are sub-variables of start-up competency, all had a positive (+) effect on entrepreneurial efficacy. The effect of management competency on entrepreneurial efficacy was found to be the largest, and creativity competency was found to have the smallest effect. Second, entrepreneurial efficacy was found to have a significant effect on entrepreneurial behavior. Third, it was found that only management competency and creative competency, which are sub-variables of start-up competency, had a positive (+) effect on entrepreneurial behavior, but the effect of technology/professional competency was not significant. It was found that management competency has a greater effect on entrepreneurial behavior than creative competency. Fourth, entrepreneurial efficacy was found to mediate between management competency and entrepreneurial behavior, and between technology/professional competency and entrepreneurial behavior. On the other hand, it was found that entrepreneurial efficacy did not mediate between creative competency and entrepreneurial behavior. This study has a tendency to be biased towards military background, so there is a limit to the generalization of the results. In addition, since the start-up competency adopted in this study is not an absolute measurement item, there is a limit to the accurate explanation of the entrepreneurial behavior. In addition, it is necessary to expand the scope of research not only on entrepreneurial behavior but also on entrepreneurship success. Therefore, it is considered that future research is needed to discover other variables in detail.
