창업역량이 창업행동에 미치는 영향

The Effect of Entrepreneurial Capability on Entrepreneurial Behavior: Focused on the Mediating Effects of Entrepreneurial Education and Entrepreneurial Experience·Experience on Entrepreneurial Activities

목적 본 연구는 창업역량이 창업행동에 영향을 미치는지 살펴보고, 그 과정에서 창업교육과 창업·창업활동 경험이 매개효과가 있는지 확인하고자 하였다. 방법 창업역량을 독립변수로 창업행동을 결과변수로 상정하고, 창업교육과 창업·창업활동 경험을 매개변수로 투입하여, 어떤 효과가 있는지 확인하였다. 이를 위해, 한국기업가정신재단에서 수행하는 KDB 창업교육 프로그램을 수행하였던 14개 대학의 297명 학습자 응답을 통해 매개모형 분석을 실시하였다. 결과 창업역량은 창업행동에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 창업역량은 창업교육을 통해 창업행동에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 창업역량과 창업행동 간 창업·창업활동 경험의 매개효과는 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 결론 본 연구의 결과는 창업행동에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 창업역량의 중요성을 확인했다는 점에서 기존 연구를 뒷받침한다. 또한, 창업역량과 창업행동 간 창업교육과 창업·창업활동 경험이 어떤 역할을 하는지 매개효과를 검증하고 확인했다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 창업역량이 발현되는 과정에서 창업교육이라는 중간변수의 역할을 확인했다는 점에서도 학술적·실무적 의미가 있다.

Objectives This study aimed to examine entrepreneurial capability has an impact on entrepreneurial behavior, and to confirm whether entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial experience·experience on entrepreneurial activities have a mediating effect in the process. Methods Entrepreneurial capability was assumed as an independent variable, entrepreneurial behavior was assumed as a dependent variable, and entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial experience·experience on entrepreneurial activities as mediating variables. To do this, a mediation model analysis was conducted through the responses of 297 learners from 14 universities who performed the KDB entrepreneurial education program conducted by the Korea Entrepreneurship Foundation. Results According to the analysis, entrepreneurial capability had a positive effect on entrepreneurial behavior. In addition, entrepreneurial capability was found to have a positive effect on entrepreneurial behavior, through entrepreneurial education. However, no significant mediating effect was observed between entrepreneurial capability and entrepreneurial behavior through entrepreneurial experience·experience on entrepreneurial activities. Conclusions The results of this study support previous research by confirming the effectiveness of entrepreneurial capability in positively influencing entrepreneurial behavior. Furthermore, it is significant to examine and confirm the mediating effects of entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial experience·experience on entrepreneurial activities on the relationship between entrepreneurial capability and entrepreneurial behavior. The identification of entrepreneurial education as a mediating variable in the process where the effects of entrepreneurial capability manifest holds academic and practical significance.
