Abstract

In recent year's we have seen that due to education and social position there has been a significant increase in the number of women engaging in entrepreneurial activities. Concurrently research into the activities of women currently engaged in entrepreneurial activities has increased. This research has focused on the individuals themselves, their motivations and the performance of their ventures but there is not enough systematic research on the subject. Therefore it is necessary expand the criteria of the current research to examine every aspect of how these emergent entrepreneurs operate and to provide others with the same goals the appropriate skills and knowledge needed to succeed. This study wants to identify and evaluate the psychological, environmental and personal characteristics that these women possess and to assess the impact these factors have on the level of their success. This study will focus on those women who were empirical in their methods as this lends itself better to a detailed systematic analysis. It will examine the concept of entrepreneurial self-efficacy with regard to how they searched, planned, marshaled and implemented steps to influence the environmental and personal factors that affected them. In addition the searching phase of entrepreneurial self-efficacy directly influences entrepreneurial motivation and thus performance. The results of this study will suggest that as Korean women's interest in entrepreneurship grows it will have wide reaching theoretical implications and affect the direction of the policy that supports it.

최근 여성들의 학력과 사회적인 지위가 높아지면서 여성창업가들이 증가하고 있다. 또한 창업에 대한 연구들도 활발해지면서 여성창업에 대해서도 연구도 증가하고 있다. 여성창업에 대한 연구는 여성들의 기업가정신, 창업동기, 성과간의 관계에 대하여 논의되어 왔지만 체계적인 연구가 부족하다. 그러나 여성창업의 활성화를 위해서는 여성창업가들에 대한 다양한 측면의 연구들이 필요하다. 이러한 점에서 본 연구는 여성창업가들의 심리적, 환경적, 개인적 특성들이 창업효능감과 창업동기, 창업성과에 미치는 영향을 실증연구를 통해 규명하고자 한다. 본 연구는 여성창업가들을 대상으로 설문하여 실증 분석하였으며, 분석결과 여성창업의 심리적 요인들이 창업효능감의 탐색, 계획, 실행단계에 영향을 미치고 환경적 요인들과 개인적 요인들은 집행, 실행단계에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 창업효능감의 탐색단계는 창업동기에 영향을 미치고 창업 동기는 창업성과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구의 결과는 우리나라의 여성창업기업의 증가와 성장을 위해서 이론적 시사점 및, 정책 지원 방향을 제시하고자 한다.
