세계무역은 지정학적 정치적 불확실성으로 보호무역 조치가 확산되었다. 우리나라는 수출비중이 높아 수출중소기업들이 성장하기 위해서는 수출시장의 다변화 노력이 필요하다. 우리나라 수출중소기업 들이 글로벌 시장 진출하기 위해서는 무역보험제도의 활용이 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 우리나라의 80개 수출중소기업을 대상으로 무역보험 관련 요인들이 무역대금결제위험과 수출성과에 미치는 영향관계를 검증하고 시사점을 도출하였다. 본 연구는 다음과 같은 연구결과를 얻었다. 첫째, 무역보험 서비스품질은 수출성과에 양(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째, 무역보험 활용은 무역대금결제 위험관리에 양(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 셋째, 무역대금결제위험 관리는 수출성과에 양(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 본 연구가 선행연구와 차별화된 내용은 무역지원기관의 서비스 품질이 수출성과에 중요하고, 무역보험 활용은 무역대금결제 위험관리가 동반될 때 수출성과에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다는 것이다. 실무적 기여도는 수출중소기업들이 무역보험 활용에 방향성을 제시하였다는데 의의가 있다.
