Abstract

The objective of this cross-cultural study is to assess the effects of relational support on the entrepreneurial capacity and entrepreneurial attitude of university students in Korea and China. Another focal point is to identify any meaningful difference in the role of relational support between these two countries. Three universities participated in this study from both countries. 224 Korean sample and 216 sample from China were used in hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The findings report that relational support has significant positive relationships with entrepreneurial attitude and entrepreneurial capacity in both Korea and China. In addition, entrepreneurial capacity had a positive effect on entrepreneurial attitude. There were no significant differences in the effect of relational support on entrepreneurial activity between Korean and Chinese university students. Finally, theoretical and practical implication were discussed.

한 중 비교연구인 본 연구의 목적은 관계적 지원이 양국대학생들의 기업가적 역량 및 창업태도에 유의한 영향을 미치는가를 검증하는 것이다. 또한 기업가적 역량이 창업태도에 미치는 영향과 함께 양국 간 대학생들 사이에 관계적 지원이 대학생들의 창업활동에 유의한 차이가 있는가를 함께 살펴보는 것이다. 본 연구를 위해 한국과 중국에서 각각 3개의 대학교가 참가, 한국대학생 224부, 중국대학생 216부의 표본을 각각 확보하여 분석에 투입하였다. 가설검증을 위한 분석도구는 SPSS통계프로그램(PASW Statistic 18)을 이용, 위계적 회귀분석방법으로 검증하였다. 검증결과 관계적 지원은 한국과 중국대학생 모두 기업가적 역량과 창업태도에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 기업가적 역량도 양국학생의 창업태도에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 관계적 지원의 효과가 양국 대학생들의 창업활동에 미치는 영향에서는 한국과 중국대학생들 사이에 유의한 차이가 없음을 확인하였다. 끝으로 본 연구결과의 이론적 기여 및 정책입안자들을 위한 실무적 시사점과 제안사항을 제시하였다.
