Abstract

This study aimed to confirm the positive impact of individual entrepreneurial orientation on entrepreneurial intentions and to investigate whether cognitive competency and social awareness of entrepreneurs serve as mediating variables in the relationship between individual entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial intentions. The results of this study are as follows: Individual entrepreneurial orientation positively influenced entrepreneurial intentions, cognitive competency, and social awareness of entrepreneurs. Moreover, it was found that higher levels of cognitive competency and social awareness led to higher entrepreneurial intentions. Additionally, it was demonstrated that cognitive competency and social awareness of entrepreneurs had parallel mediating effects in the relationship between individual entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial intentions. Based on these findings, this study provides theoretical foundations for research on the relationship between individual entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial intentions, which have been relatively underexplored. Furthermore, by identifying cognitive competency and social awareness as mediating variables, this study opens avenues for academic expansion. Finally, the findings of this study can serve as practical groundwork related to individual entrepreneurial orientation.

본 연구는 개인의 기업가적 지향성이 창업의도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하고, 인지역량과 기업가에 대한 사회적 인식이 개인의 기업가적 지향성과 창업의도 간의 관계에서 매개변수로 역할을 하는지 규명하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 개인의 기업가적 지향성은 창업의도, 인지역량, 기업가에 대한 사회적 인식에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤고, 인지역량과 기업가에 대한 사회적 인식이 높을수록 창업의도가 높아지는 것을 확인하였다. 더불어, 개인의 기업가적 지향성과 창업의도 간의 관계에서 인지역량과 기업가에 대한 사회적 인식은 병렬 매개효과가 있는 것으로 규명하였다. 이를 토대로 그동안의 연구가 미진했던 개인의 기업가적 지향성과 창업의도 간의 연구의 이론적인 토대를 마련하였고, 인지역량과 기업가에 대한 사회적 인식의 매개변수를 밝힘으로써 학문적인 확장을 가능하게 할 것이다. 끝으로, 개인의 기업가적 지향성과 관련한 실무적인 기초자료로 활용이 가능할 것이다.
