Abstract

This research was implemented to check what effects entrepreneurship have on the entrepreneurial intention verify the emotional factor 'Fear on Business' in terms of the relationship between entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial intention. Above all, in the study Health Belief Model was applied to research into emotional factors, such as 'Fear on Business'. Specifically, it was performed to check what effects 'Fear on Business' has on the entrepreneurial intention and to see if there are any mediating effects between entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial intention. To achieve the research purposes above, the students who took a business start-up and entrepreneurship related course were surveyed (all 356); and research findings were produced. To summarize the findings, entrepreneurship did influence the entrepreneurial intention significantly. In addition, entrepreneurship significantly influenced 'Fear on Business'. And 'Fear on Business' significantly influenced the EI; it turned out that 'Fear on Business' plays a mediating role between entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial intention. From these result, it is thought that programs or policies for reducing 'Fear on Business' are needed. Finally, because entrepreneurship can affect the entrepreneurial intention through the medium of 'Fear on Business', it is thought that the government's effort to create a social atmosphere is needed to overcome 'Fear on Business'.

본 연구는 기업가정신 수업을 수강하고 있는 대학생들의 기업가정신 구성요소가 창업실패두려움을 매개로 창업의도에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 본 연구의 연구모형을 검증하기 위해 K대, S여대, S대, H대 등 서울 소재 4개 대학교의 기업가정신 교육과정 참가 대학생 356명의 설문을 분석했다. 변수간의 관계에 대한 연구모형의 신뢰성과 타당성을 검증하기 위해 요인분석 및 상관관계 분석을 실시하였고, 가설의 검증을 위해 회귀분석 및 매개효과분석을 사용하여 실증분석을 실시했다. 연구 결과, 기업가정신 구성요소는 창업의도에 정(+)의 영향을, 창업실패두려움은 창업의도에 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 창업실패두려움은 기업가정신 구성요소 일부와 창업의도 사이를 매개하는 것으로 확인되었다. 연구결과에 따라 미래에 주도적으로 본인의 진로를 개척하며 미래성장을 이끌어갈 대학생의 창업 활성화를 위해서 기업가정신 구성요소를 강화할 수 있는 다양한 기회를 제공해야 한다. 그리고 창업실패두려움을 낮출 수 있도록 스타트업 현장을 체험할 기회를 주어 창업에 대한 막연한 두려움을 낮추고 창업함에 발생하는 기회비용으로 창업을 두려워하지 않도록 재학 중 창업경험을 대외적으로 인정되고 취업 등에 활용할 수 있는 자산으로 인정할 필요가 있다.
