Abstract

Recently, global economic recession has a significant influence on promoting launch of start-ups around the world. As is often the case, powerful and bright entrepreneurship is required so that the start-ups may be successful in their target markets. Despite the fact that numerous studies about impact of the entrepreneurship on start-ups exist in literature, there is no study attempting to recognize importance of social learning about entrepreneurship on individual creativity of those who have intentions to become entrepreneurs of start-ups. In this sense, this study proposes a new research model in which social learning about entrepreneurship is assumed to have an influence on individual creativity of start-ups candidates. For the sake of proving the proposed research model more rigorously, we include those constructs such as para-social interaction, imitation of role model, and internal motivation. We garnered 89 valid questionnaires from college students who were invited to the experiments designed for this study. Results proved that para-social interaction and imitation of role model affect internal motivation significantly, which in turn affects individual creativity positively. These results also provide theoretical directions revealing the embedding process of entrepreneurial capital among society.

저성장 시대로 접어든 글로벌 경쟁 환경에서 지속적인 경제 성장을 위해 기업가 정신의 중요성이 더욱 커지고 있다. 신규 사업 기회를 포착해 혁신 제품 서비스를 창출하는 창의적 사고방식과 행동 양식인 기업가 정신은, 경제 조직을 넘어 사회 전반적으로 새로운 가치를 창출해내는 사회적 자본으로 이해할 수 있다. 하지만 아직까지 거시적 관점에서 기업가 정신이 사회 전반적으로 어떻게 학습되고 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대한 연구가 부족하다. 이에 본 연구는 사회학습이론을 바탕으로 기업가로부터 파생되는 기업가 정신이 사회 구성원들에게 어떻게 학습되고, 개인의 창의성에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 89명의 대학생 대상 설문조사를 통해 실증 분석했다. 분석 결과 기업가에 대한 준사회적 상호작용과 모방성이 기업가 정신 학습을 통한 내재적 동기 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤고, 이는 결과적으로 개인의 창의성 향상에 도움을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 거시적 관점에서 사회 자본으로써 기업가 정신의 학습 및 영향에 대한 연구 방향을 제시했고, 기업가 정신의 창의성 영향에 대한 이론적 근거를 마련했다. 또한 정책적으로 사회 구성원들의 기업가 정신 교육의 필요성과 창의성 향상에 대한 시사점을 제시하였다.
