Abstract

The purpose of this study is to review the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship and performance, and the moderating effect of CEO's transformational leadership in entrepreneurs'cooperative. In order to verify and achieve the purposes mentioned above, questionnaire data were gathered and analysed from 215 employees of entrepreneurs'cooperative in Metropolitan and kangwon-do vicinity. Multiple regression and multiple hierarchical regression analysis were applied to test the proposed hypotheses: 1) the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship(innovativeness, risk-taking, and proactiveness) and performance(sales volume, profit, employment), 2) the moderating effect of CEO's transformational leadership(charisma, individual consideration, intellectual stimulation) on the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship and performance. Empirical survey's findings are as follows; First, risk-taking appeared to be positively related with sales volume, profit, and employment. Proactiveness appeared to be positively related with sales volume and profit. But innovativeness appeared not to be significantly related with sales volume, profit, and employment. Second, CEO's transformational leadership appeared to be related with financial performance(sales volume and profit), but not to be related with employment. Charisma and individual consideration moderated positively the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship and financial performance(sales volume and profit). Intellectual stimulation moderated positively only the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship and profit.

자본주의 경제가 시장 지향적으로 무한 경쟁을 추구하면서 많은 부작용이 나타나고 있다. 부익부빈익빈, 고용감소와 청년실업율의 증가와 같은 부작용이 나타나면서 경제민주화의 요구가 거세게 나타나고 있다. 이러한 변화의 시점에서 대안으로서 주목받고 있는 것이 협동조합이다. 이는 협동조합은 이용자 소유의 사업체로서 고용창출이 가능하고 단기적 이윤추구보다는 장기적 관점에서 지역사회와의 공존을 추구하기 때문이다. 협동조합이 이용자가 사업주체와 같은 역할을 하기 때문에 이들이 인지하는 사내기업가정신은 성과에 미칠 가능성이 크다는 점, 그리고 대부분의 협동조합이 십 여 명 이내의 적은 규모이며 비교적 역사가 짧아서 조합장의 리더십 또한 성과에 많은 영향을 미칠 것이라는 점에서 본 연구는 조합원들의 사내기업가정신과 성과의 관계, 그리고 이러한 관계에서 조합장 변혁적 리더십의 조절효과를 실증 분석하고자 하였다. 실증분석을 위한 자료는 설문지를 이용하였으며, 설문은 수도권 및 강원 영서지역의 사업자 협동조합 조합원을 대상으로 하였다. 사내기업가정신이 협동조합의 성과에 미치는 효과 및 조합장 변혁적 리더십의 조절효과를 분석한 결과, 사내기업가정신의 구성요소 중 위험감수성은 재무적 성과인 매출액증가, 수익증가와 사회적 성과인 고용증가 모두에 대해 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 진취성은 매출액증가와 수익증가에 긍정적 영향을 미치고, 혁신성은 모든 성과 요소에 유의적 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 변혁적 리더십의 조절효과에 대한 분석결과, 혁신성의 경우 성과에 직접적 영향이 없지만 조합장이 카리스마와 개별적 배려, 지적자극 리더십을 발휘할 때 매출액증가와 수익증가에 긍정적 영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 이상의 분석결과 협동조합의 경우 매출액이나 수익과 같은 재무적 성과 제고를 위해서는 조합원들의 위험감수성이나 진취성이 효과적임을 알 수 있다. 따라서 경영의 안정성에 안주하기 보다는 위험을 감수하더라도 고수익을 추구하고 동업종 조합이나 기업에 비해 경쟁우위를 추구하는 분위기를 조성하는 것이 바람직할 것이다. 그리고 변혁적 리더십도 성과에 긍정적 영향을 미친다는 점에서 조합장은 조합원들에게 비전을 제시하고, 다양한 의견을 논의하며, 조합원 개개인에 대해 관심과 배려를 보여주는 리더십이 필요하다.
