Abstract

As an origin and a starting point of business start-up, this start-up intention is believed to be the driving force of economic growth. Being aware of the importance of the start-up intention, the study looked into cause-and-effect relationships of variables focusing on intermediate roles of start-up self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation in self-leadership and start-up intention of business founders. In order to achieve the research goal, the study conducted both a survey targeting a total of 195 business founders registered at a business incubation center and an empirical analysis on the results of the survey. According to the findings from the analysis, the study first learned that the self-leadership would have a positive effect on the start-up self-efficacy and the intrinsic motivation which eventually proved that the self-leadership is a leading variable of the start-up self-efficacy and the intrinsic motivation. Second, both the start-up self-efficacy and the intrinsic motivation were observed to be positively related to the start-up intention. That finding signified that roles of the start-up self-efficacy and the intrinsic motivation are important to increase the start-up intention. Third, intermediate effects of the start-up self-efficacy and the start-up intention were discovered from the self-leadership and the start-up intention, the main topics of the research. Hence, in order to improve the start-up intention, the importance of the start-up self-efficacy and the intrinsic motivation should be recognized and promoted as well and for this goal to be achieved, the business founders should understand the idea that the self-leadership has to come first than anything else in this case. Based on the results of the research, the study offers theoretical and practical implications.

창업의 원천이자 출발점이라 할 수 있는 창업의지는 경제발전을 위한 원동력이나 다름없다. 본 연구는 그 중요성을 인식하고, 창업자의 셀프리더십과 창업의지 간에 창업효능감과 내재적 동기의 매개역할을 중심으로 변수 간의 인과관계를 고찰하였다. 그동안 창업의지의 영향요인에 관한 연구가 이루어져 왔으나, 셀프리더십과 창업의지와의 연관성을 살펴 본 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 창업을 하면 조직을 구성하게 되고 창업자는 조직구성원들을 이끌어 가기 위한 리더십을 발휘해야 한다. 그러기 위해서는 리더십을 발휘하기 이전에 셀프리더십이 선행되어야 하며, 이를 위해서는 리더 자신의 동기와 효능감이 수반되어야만 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 잠재적 창업자가 아닌 창업자의 셀프리더십과 자기효능감 및 내재적 동기와의 인과관계 규명을 통하여 보다 명확한 창업의지관련 이론적 실증적 시사점을 제공하고자 한다. 이를 위해 창업보육기관 입주기업의 창업자로부터 받은 설문지 195부를 실증 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 셀프리더십이 창업효능감과 내재적 동기에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나, 셀프리더십이 창업효능감과 내재적 동기의 선행변수임을 알 수 있다. 둘째, 창업효능감과 내재적 동기가 창업의지에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 결국 창업의지를 높이기 위해서는 창업효능감과 내재적 동기의 역할이 중요함을 의미한다. 셋째, 본 연구의 핵심이라 할 수 있는 셀프리더십과 창업의지 간에 창업효능감과 내재적 동기의 매개효과를 보였다. 따라서 창업의지를 높이기 위해서는 창업효능감과 내재적 동기의 중요성을 인식하고 이를 증강시켜야 하며, 이를 위해 셀프리더십이 전제되어야 한다는 개념을 깊이 인식해야만 한다. 이와 같은 본 연구결과에 따라, 이론적 실무적 시사점을 제공하고자 한다.
