Abstract

This study empirically investigated the influence of entrepreneurship and technological commercialization capabilities of domestic small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises on financial performance by mediating technological performance. To achieve this, a survey was administered to their hands-on workers in charge of R&D. The survey results were analyzed through the structural equation model as follows. Entrepreneurship had an effect on technological and financial performance. Technology commercialization capability had an effect on technological performance. However, technological commercialization capabilities were evaluated to be inferior to financial performance, which can be interpreted as financial performance being judged as different between individuals or organizations in terms of technological commercialization capabilities. Technological performance had an effect on financial performance. Technological performance played a mediating role in the effects of entrepreneurship and technology commercialization capability on financial performance. Consequently, it is very important for entrepreneurship and technology commercialization capability to develop new products and improve corporate performance with insufficient financial status or operating system completion.

본 연구는 국내 중소제조기업의 기업가정신과 기술사업화역량이 기술적 성과를 매개로 하여 재무적 성과에 미치는 영향력을 밝히기 위해 실증조사하였다. 연구 대상은 국내 중소제조기업체 중 R&D 업무를 수행하고 있는 실무종사자들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고, 그 결과를 구조방정식 모형을 통하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 중소제조기업의 기업가정신은 기술적 성과와 재무성과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 기술사업화역량 또한, 기술적 성과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 기술사업화역량은 재무성과에 미치지 않은 것으로 평가되는데, 재무성과가 기술사업화역량에 있어서 개인 또는 조직 간의 역량 차이가 있는 것으로 판단되는 것으로 또 다른 요인에 의해서 영향을 받기 때문으로 해석된다. 그리고 기술적 성과는 재무성과에 영향을 미치고, 기업가정신과 기술사업화역량이 재무성과에 미치는 영향에서 기술적 성과는 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 기업가정신과 기술사업화역량이 강화되어 재무성과 향상에 있어서 기술적 성과가 매개적 역할을 하기 때문인 것으로 해석되었다. 또한, 중소제조기업의 기업가정신과 기술사업화역량이 재무성과를 높이는 기제임을 실증시켜준 것으로 재무상태나 운영 시스템의 완성도가 미흡한 중소제조업체에서의 신제품개발과 성과향상에 기업가정신과 기술사업화역량이 매우 중요함을 시사한 것으로 평가할 수 있다.
