Abstract

The current paper examines the role of the identity of entrepreneurs in the emergence and evolution of a new organizational form by empirically analyzing the evolution of eBook publishers in Korea from 1996 to 2011. Drawing on the recently developed identity-based theory of organizational form in the organizational ecology literature, we test hypotheses on the effects of focused and diffused organizational identities on organizational founding in an emergent organizational population. The results of our empirical analysis that tested three hypotheses about a positive relationship between focused identity and form emergenceand negative relationships between diffused (horizontal and vertical) identity and form emergence largely supported the argument of identity-based entrepreneurship. General implications are discussed.

본 연구는 새로운 조직형태의 발현과 진화 과정에서 나타나는 기업가 정체성(identity)의 역할에 대해서 논의한다. 기업가는 다양한 위험을 감수하면서 새로운 기업을 창출하는 활동을 하게 되는데 그 중에서도 본 연구는 새로운 조직형태의 결정에 미치는 정체성의 영향력에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 특히 본 연구에서는 조직생태학에서 논의되고 있는 정체성 이론(identity-based theory)을 기반으로 하여 새로운 조직 형태의 발생에 미치는 조직 정체성의 영향력에 대해 분석하였다. 이에 따라 조직의 집중화 정체성(focused identity)은 새로운 조직의 등장에 긍정적 영향을 미칠 것이며, 확산적 정체성(diffused identity)은 부정적 영향을 미칠 것이라는 가설을 수립하였다. 추가적으로 확산적 정체성을 다시 수평적(horizontal) 정체성과 수직적(vertical) 정체성이라는 두 가지 유형으로 구분하여 이들 두 유형의 정체성이 새로운 조직의 등장에 미치는 차별적 영향력에 대해 논의하였다. 이를 위해 1996년부터 2011년까지 한국 전자 책 출판회사를 대상으로 실증분석 하였다.
