Abstract
It is very meaningful to research on how people's perception on equality and psychology on class movement can have effect on the entrepreneurial intention at the present time when the Korean Government persuades people to create new businesses and the polarization between the rich and the poor gets severe. Accordingly, in this study, an empirical analysis was conducted to find out how the proportional equality acceptance level can affect the entrepreneurial intention via the upward mobility expectation by considering the proportionate equality acceptance level as independent variable, upward mobility expectation as a medium variable and the entrepreneurial intention as a dependent variable and then the hypothesis was tested through regression analysis. The results are as follows. First, it was found that the proportional equality acceptance level over the results makes a positive (+) effect on the entrepreneurial intention and the upward mobility expectation. On the other hand, it was found that proportional equality acceptance level over opportunity does not make any significant effect on each of entrepreneurial intention and upward mobility expectation. Second, it was found that the upward mobility expectation makes the positive (+) effect on the entrepreneurial intention. Third, it was found that the proportional equality acceptance level over opportunity and equality acceptance level over the results makes a positive (+) effect on the entrepreneurial intention through upward mobility expectation as a medium, thus showing the partial effect. This study has critical implications as it is an empirical analysis for finding out how the individual's level of perceiving equality makes an effect on entrepreneurial intention and testing the upward mobility expectation's mediating effect, thus reflecting the current society's situation.
정부에서 창업을 적극 장려하고 지원하는 추세와 사회계층 및 부의 양극화가 심화되는 현 시점에서 평등에 대한 인식과 계층이동에 관한 심리가 창업의지에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것은 의미가 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 비례적 평등 수용수준이 계층상승기대감을 매개로 창업의지에 미치는 영향에 대한 실증분석을 수행하고 회귀분석을 통해 가설을 검정하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 결과의 비례적 평등 수용수준은 창업의지와 계층상승기대감에 각각 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에, 기회의 비례적 평등 수용수준은 창업의지와 계층상승기대감에 각각 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 계층상승기대감은 창업의지에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 기회의 비례적 평등 수용수준과 결과의 비레적 평등 수용수준은 계층상승기대감을 매개로 창업의지에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 부분매개하는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 개인의 평등에 대한 인식수준이 창업의지에 미치는 영향을 실증분석하면서 계층상승기대감의 매개 효과를 검증함으로써 최근의 사회상을 반영하였다는 점에서 큰 의의가 있다.
