Abstract

In the case of SMEs, entrepreneurship that organizes only core functions with the minimum number of people is increasing, and a responsibility management system focusing on core functions is emphasized, so that the interest in innovation behavior and survival strategy of enterprises is getting bigger. However, in the case of SMEs, it is not easy to pursue continuous innovation due to lack of capital and lack of professional manpower. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of SME on innovation behavior by selecting exploratory study and literature study for SMEs. The data for this study were 545 out of the total 600 copies distributed to employees in SMEs. The data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 and amos18.0. First, product diversification, strategy formulation, and R & D have a significant effect on innovation behavior, and market diversification has no effect on innovation behavior. Second, working variables such as product diversification, market diversification, strategy formulation, and R & D do not control the influence of innovative behavior on innovation behavior. Third, the rank variable, which is the controlling variable, controls the magnitude of the effect of product diversification, market diversification, strategy formulation, and R & D on innovation behavior. As a result, corporate managers should lead the organization in order to promote product diversification, market diversification strategy, R & D and innovation activities. After discussing the conclusions and implications of this study, this study presented the direction of the research for the follow-up study.

중소기업의 경우 최소인원으로 핵심기능만을 조직화한 창업이 늘어나고, 핵심기능에 집중하는 책임경영 체제가 강조되면서 기업의 혁신행동과 생존전략에 대한 관심이 더욱 커지고 있다. 그러나 중소기업의 경우 자본과 전문인력의 부족으로 인해 지속적인 혁신을 추진하기 쉽지 않다. 이에 본 연구는 중소기업의 혁신행동에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 목적으로 중소기업에 종사하고 있는 조직원을 대상으로 탐색적 조사 실시와 문헌연구를 통해 변수를 선정하였다. 본 연구를 수행하기 위한 자료는 실제 중소기업에 종사하고 있는 종사원들을 대상으로 설문서를 작성하여 총 배포된 600부 중 545부를 자료 분석에 사용하여, 통계 프로그램 SPSS 21.0과 amos18.0 으로 분석하였다. 가설 검증 결과, 첫째, 제품다각화, 전략수립, 연구개발은 혁신행동에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인 되었고, 시장다각화는 혁신행동에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 조절변수인 근무경력은 제품다각화, 시장다각화, 전략수립 및 연구개발이 혁신행동에 미치는 영향력의 크기를 조절하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 조절변수인 직급은 제품다각화, 시장다각화, 전략수립 및 연구개발이 혁신행동에 미치는 영향력의 크기를 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 제품다각화, 시장다각화 전략수립 및 연구개발과 조직의 혁신 활동을 촉진시키기 위해서는 기업의 관리자가 주도적으로 조직원들을 이끌어야 한다는 것이다. 본 연구는 이상의 연구 결론 및 시사점을 논의한 후, 후속 연구를 위한 연구의 방향을 제시하였다.
