Abstract

This study is about the effect of the founder's self-efficacy on the sales of the founding company by focusing on the factors that are currently emphasized in the founding education. In particular, this paper starts from the consciousness of the problem that the education that is being implemented to achieve the purpose of successful start-up among various government-based start-up support projects is failing to produce many start-up failures. Entrepreneurs cannot be assessed by objective financial data, but there is a high degree of uncertainty that should be determined based on their personal and learning abilities. In addition, many previous studies, which are likely to be successful when there is a high self-efficacy in a specific field due to the influence of factors such as personal experience or learning, will answer the direction of support for start-up companies. This study focuses on the impact of the founder's self-efficacy on the sales of the founding firms, especially the sales that are the key to the survival of the founding firms. This study has six major studies. First, to analyze whether the self-efficacy of entrepreneurs with respect to entrepreneurship affects the sales of entrepreneurs. Second, to analyze whether the self-efficacy of entrepreneurs with respect to market orientation affects the sales of entrepreneurs. Analysis of whether the founder's self-efficacy affects the sales of the founding firms. Fourth, analysis of whether the founder's self-efficiency affects the sales of the founding firms' understanding of management environment changes. An analysis of whether efficacy affects the sales of a start-up company, and sixth, an analysis of whether the founder's self-efficacy of business model building ability affects the sales of a start-up company. As a result of the empirical analysis, this study found that the self-efficacy of entrepreneurs on product differentiation capability and business model building capacity had a positive influence on the sales of entrepreneurs. The self-efficacy had a positive effect on self-efficacy, and the customer orientation had a positive effect on self-efficacy on business model building capacity. Also, it was confirmed that a path exists between the components of self-efficacy and that self-efficacy through the path has a positive effect on the sales of the start-up company. Therefore, the results of this study suggest the implications of establishing such a path and strengthening self-efficacy to create the survival and start-up performance of a start-up company if the goal of the start-up company is to survive when implementing various support projects for the start-up company.

본 연구는 현재 창업교육에서 많이 강조하고 있는 요인을 중심으로 창업자의 자기효능감을 측정하여 실제 창업기업의 매출에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구이다. 특히 본 논문은 정부의 다양한 창업자 지원사업 중 창업성공이라는 목적을 달성하기 위해 시행하고 있는 교육이 제기능을 하지 못하여 다수의 창업실패를 만들어내고 있다는 문제의식에서 출발하였다. 창업기업은 객관적인 재무자료로는 평가할 수 없고 창업자의 개인적 능력과 학습능력을 중심으로 성공 가능성을 가늠해야하는 불확실성이 높다. 또한 개인적 경험이든 학습이든 어떠한 요인이 영향을 미쳐 특정 분야에 자기효능감이 높은 경우에 창업성공 가능성이 높다는 많은 선행연구는 창업기업에 대한 지원이 어떠한 방향으로 이뤄져야 하는지에 대한 답이 될 것이다. 본 연구는 창업기업의 성공 중 특히 3~7년차 기업의 생존의 열쇠인 매출을 중심으로 창업자의 자기효능감이 창업기업의 매출에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 중심으로 진행하였다. 본 연구는 크게 여섯 가지 연구를 진행하였다. 첫째, 기업가 정신에 대한 창업가의 자기효능감이 창업기업의 매출에 영향을 미치는지 여부 분석, 둘째, 시장지향성에 대한 창업자의 자기효능감이 창업기업의 매출에 영향을 미치는지 여부 분석, 셋째, 고객지향성에 대한 창업자의 자기효능감이 창업기업의 매출에 영향을 미치는지 여부 분석, 넷째, 경영환경변화 이해도에 대한 창업자의 자기효능감이 창업기업의 매출에 영향을 미치는지 여부 분석, 다섯째, 제품차별화 역량에 대한 창업자의 자기효능감이 창업기업의 매출에 영향을 미치는지 여부 분석, 여섯째, 비즈니스모델 구축역량에 대한 창업자의 자기효능감이 창업기업의 매출에 영향을 미치는지 여부에 대한 분석 등이다. 실증분석의 결과, 본 연구는 제품차별화 역량과 비즈니스모델 구축역량에 대한 창업가의 자기효능감은 창업기업의 매출에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤으며 기업가정신과 고객지향성에 대한 자기효능감은 제품차별화 역량에 대한 자기효능감에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤고, 고객지향성은 비즈니스모델 구축역량에 대한 자기효능감에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 이로써 자기효능감 구성인자 간에는 경로가 존재하고 경로를 통해 자기효능감을 강화하면 창업기업의 매출에 정(+)의 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. 이에 본 연구결과는 창업기업을 위한 다양한 지원사업을 시행할 때 창업기업의 생존을 목표로 한다면 이러한 경로를 설정하고 자기효능감을 강화해야 창업기업의 생존과 창업성과를 만들 수 있다는 시사점을 제시하고 있다.
