Abstract

As the awareness of the importance of Start-up increases, the number of entrepreneurs who decide to start their career is gradually increasing. However, the rate of start-up failure is still high and the qualitative level is very low due to lack of start-up performance. In this study, we analyzed the effect of entrepreneurship capability and start-up support system on start-up performance. To that end, 361 valid data were collected from businesses that were established less than seven years ago in Jeollabuk-do on August 1, 2018 and used for study verification through SPSS 21 and AMOS 21. First, the entrepreneurial competence (entrepreneurial competence, managerial competency) has a positive effect on the start-up support system and the technical competency has no significant effect. Second, entrepreneurial competence (entrepreneurial competence, managerial competency, technical competency) has a significant effect on entrepreneurial performance. However, entrepreneurial competence has a meaningful effect on the start-up performance of entrepreneurs with a negative (-) effect. Third, it was found that the start - up support system had a positive effect on the start - up performance. Finally, the start - up support system proved to have mediating effect between entrepreneurial competence and start - up performance. The implications of this study are as follows. In order to increase the start-up performance of the start-up companies, it is proved that increasing the capacity of the start-ups is an important factor. In addition, empirical studies have proved that the use of start-up support system is an important factor that directly or indirectly has a significant effect on start-up performance, We have made meaningful implications that actively supporting and utilizing entrepreneurship is necessary to enhance start-up performance.

창업의 중요성에 대한 인식이 높아지면서 인생의 진로를 창업으로 결정하는 예비 창업가들이 점진적으로 많아지고 있다. 하지만 창업 실패율은 여전히 높고, 창업성과가 미비하여 질적인 수준은 매우 낮다. 이에 본 연구에서는 창업가 역량특성, 창업지원제도에 대한 관심을 가지고, 창업성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 실증 분석하였다. 이를 위해 2018년 8월 1일부터 8월30일까지 전라북도의 7년 미만 창업가를 대상으로 361개의 유효데이터를 수집하여 SPSS 21.O, AMOS 21을 통해 연구검증에 활용하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 창업가 역량특성(기업가적 역량, 관리적 역량)이 창업지원제도에 유의미한 정(+)의 영향을 미치고, 기술적 역량은 유의미한 효과가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 창업가 역량(기업가 역량, 관리적 역량, 기술적 역량)이 창업성과에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 결과가 증명되었다. 단, 기업가적 역량은 창업성과에 음(-)의 유의미한 영향을 미치는 의미 있는 결과가 나왔다. 셋째, 창업지원제도는 창업성과에 정(+)의 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 끝으로 창업지원제도는 기업가적 역량과 창업성과 사이에 매개 효과가 있음을 검증하였다. 본 연구의 시사점은 창업기업들의 창업성과를 높이기 위해서는 창업가 역량 함양이 중요한 요인이라는 것을 증명하였다. 또한 창업지원제도 활용은 직 간접적으로 창업 성과에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소임을 실증연구를 통해 증명하였으며, 적극적으로 창업 지원 및 활용하는 것이 창업성과를 높이기 위해서는 반드시 필요한 부분이라는 것을 증명하였다.
