Abstract

The mission of the university is to grow young people who will be responsible for the next generation nation to mature society. In particular, the role of universities in the 4th Industrial Revolution era is to foster creative talents. Therefore, innovative changes are required for existing infusion education and employment-oriented college education contents and teaching methodology. In the high youth unemployment rate, entrepreneurship education is spreading to universities to innovate existing organizations and create new jobs. Until now, however, the effects of university entrepreneurship education have been studied mainly in the field of start-up. Therefore, it is very difficult to study various effects on entrepreneurship education. In this study, empirical analysis of the effect of entrepreneurship training on career preparation behaviors of university students who are about to enter the society is verified. The sample of this study was surveyed from August, 2016, and the questionnaire was applied to 393 university students who selected 5 universities and entrepreneurship education. As a result of the analysis, the ability of communicative communication and creative problem solving cultivated through entrepreneurship education had a positive effect on entrepreneurship and self - efficacy, Entrepreneurship and self - efficacy had a positive (+) positive effect on career preparation behavior. However, cooperative communication ability, creative problem solving ability, and effective work behavior ability by entrepreneurship education were not directly related to career preparation behavior. On the other hand, in verifying the mediating effect of entrepreneurship and self - efficacy, it proved that mediating role of positive communication between collaborative communication ability, creative problem solving ability and career preparation behavior. The implications of this study are as follows This study examines the effects of university entrepreneurship education on career preparedness behaviors.In other words, the university proved the direct effect and the mediating effect that affects positively (+) effect on career preparation behaviors by encouraging entrepreneurship and self - efficacy, rather than quantitative extension based on competency. Also, the implication of the parameters (entrepreneurship, self - efficacy) as a key variable for the effect and performance of career preparation behavior was derived.It also suggests that it is necessary to improve the creativity ability of entrepreneurship education so that it can have a direct and meaningful influence on career preparation behavior. First of all, it is urgent to develop a qualitative evaluation index for entrepreneurship education in order to measure these effects. Therefore, further study is required to verify the various implications for future entrepreneurship education, as well as the implications that entrepreneurship education is indispensable for the preparation of university students' careers.

대학의 사명은 차세대 국가를 책임질 청년들을 성숙한 사회인으로 성장시키기는데 목적을 가지고 있다. 특히 4차산업혁명시대 대학의 역할은 창의적 인재를 육성하는 것이다. 그럼으로 기존의 주입식교육과 취업중심의 대학 교육 콘텐츠와 교육 방법론에 혁신적인 변화가 요구된다. 높은 청년 실업률 속에서 기존 조직을 혁신하고, 새로운 일자리를 창출을 위해 창업교육이 대학에 확산되고 있다. 하지만 이제까지는 대학 창업교육의 효과를 창업분야 중심으로 연구되어왔다. 그럼으로 창업교육에 대한 다양한 효과 연구는 매우 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 창업교육을 통한 역량 함양이 사회에 진출을 앞두고 있는 대학생의 진로준비행동에 어떤 유의미한 영향을 미치는지에 대해 실증분석 검증하였다. 본 연구의 표본은 2016년 8월부터 설문조사를 실시하였고 지역별 5개 대학교를 선발하여 창업교육을 수강한 대학생 393명들을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였으며 실증분석에 활용하였다. 분석결과 창업교육을 통해 함양된 협업적의사소통능력, 창의적 문제해결능력은 기업가정신과 자기효능감에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤고, 기업가정신과 자기효능감은 진로준비행동에 정(+)의 유의미한 영향을 미쳤다. 하지만 창업교육에 의한 협업적 의사소통능력, 창의적문제해결능력, 효율적 업무행동능력은 진로준비행동에는 직접적인 유의미한 영향이 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 반면 기업가정신, 자기효능감의 매개효과 검증에서는 협업적 의사소통능력, 창의적 문제해결능력과 진로준비행동 사이에서 긍정의 매개역할을 하고 있음을 검증하였다. 이에 본 연구의 시사점은 대학 창업교육이 진로준비행동에 영향을 미치는 다양한 효과성을 검증 하였다. 즉, 대학에서 창업교육을 역량 중심의 양적 확대보다는 기업가정신과 자기효능감을 고취 함양시킴으로 진로준비행동에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 직접효과와 매개효과를 증명하였다. 또한 매개변수(기업가정신, 자기효능감)는 진로준비행동에 미치는 효과와 성과를 창출하기 위한 핵심변수라는 시사점을 도출하였다. 그리고 창업교육의 창의성 역량에 대한 보완과 체계를 잡아 진로준비행동에도 직접적인 유의미한 영향을 미칠 수 있도록 개선 될 필요가 있다는 시사점을 도출하였다. 무엇보다 이러한 효과를 측정하기 위해서 창업교육에 대한 정성적인 평가지표 개발도 시급하다. 따라서 창업교육은 대학생들의 진로준비를 위해서라도 반드시 필요하다는 의미있는 시사점과 함께 향후 창업교육에 대한 다양한 효과를 검증하기 위한 추가 연구가 필요하다.
