초록

창업가의 개인 특성이 창업 의도에 중요한 영향을 미친다는 기존 연구 결과가 많은 것에 비하여 이에 대한 내재적 메커니즘에 관한 연구는 상대적으로 부족하였다. 최근의 연구 결과들을 보면 창업자의 개인적 특성 요인이 창업 의도에 직접적으로 영향을 미치기보다 창업 태도와 인지된 행동 통제를 매개로 하여 창업 의도에 영향을 미친다는 연구 결과가 다양하게 나타나고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 최근 창업 활동을 활발하게 하고 있는 중국 대학생들의 창업 의도를 형성하는 개인 특성이 무엇인지에 대해 233명의 중국 대학생들을 대상으로 한 실증적 연구를 수행하였다. 계획된 행동 이론을 기반으로 창업 태도와 인지된 행동 통제를 창업 의도를 형성시키는 중요한 변수로 설정하고, 잠재적인 창업자의 개인 특성 요인들(리더십, 계획성, 혁신성, 사회성)이 두 변수를 매개로 창업 의도를 형성시킨다는 가설과 모형을 구성하여 회귀분석과 구조방정식 모형을 통하여 검증하였다. 분석 결과, 중국 대학생의 경우 창업 태도와 인지된 행동 통제가 창업 의도를 형성시키는 중요한 선행 변수로 나타났다. 또한 개인적 특성 요인 중 리더십과 혁신성은 창업 태도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 반면 리더십과 계획성은 인지된 행동 통제의 수준을 높이는 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 리더십은 창업 태도와 인지된 행동 통제를 매개로 창업 의도를 형성하며, 혁신성은 창업 태도, 그리고 계획성은 인지된 행동 통제를 매개로 창업 의도 형성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 잠재적인 창업자로서 중국 대학생에 대한 창업 교육을 수행하는 경우 리더십, 혁신성, 계획성의 요소를 강조하는 창업 교육이 필요하며 잠재적인 창업자의 선택 기준을 설정함에 있어서도 중요한 개인적 특질로 위의 세 요소를 제시할 수 있을 것이다.

While there have been many previous studies showing that an entrepreneur's personal characteristics have a significant impact on his intention to start a business, there was relatively little research on the inherent mechanisms for this. Recent researches show that entrepreneur's personal characteristics affect the entrepreneurial intention through entrepreneurial attitude and perceived behavioral control, rather than directly. This study carried out empirical research on 233 Chinese university students on what personal characteristics affect the entrepreneurial intention of Chinese university students, who are actively engaged in start-up activities recently. Based on the theory of planned behavior, we set entrepreneurial attitude and perceived behavioral control as important variables that shape the entrepreneurial intention and formed a model and hypotheses that personal characteristics of a potential entrepreneur(leadership, planning, innovation, sociality) affect the entrepreneurial intention through these two variables. We verified these hypotheses by regression analysis and structural equation model. The analysis confirmed that for Chinese university students the entrepreneurial attitude and perceived behavioral control were important antecedent variables that shape the entrepreneurial intention. It was also shown that leadership and innovation have a positive influence on the entrepreneurial attitude, while leadership and planning raise the level of perceived behavioral control. As a result, leadership forms the entrepreneurial intention through the entrepreneurial attitude and perceived behavior control, and innovation affects the entrepreneurial intention through the entrepreneurial attitude, while planning affects the entrepreneurial intention through perceived behavior control. Therefore, entrepreneurship education that emphasizes leadership, innovation and planning is required for Chinese college students as a potential entrepreneur. These three factors could also be important personal characteristics when choosing a potential entrepreneur.
