Abstract

As ICT convergence technology has spread and applied to various industrial fields and society in general, interest in rural entrepreneurship using smart farm as a means for solving many pending problems in agriculture is increasing. In this context, this study is to look at the influential factors in terms of perceived usefulness associated with the rural entrepreneurial intention using smart farm and suggest a proposal for spreading smart farms. The subjects were 296 general adults over 20 years old who were selected by simple random sampling method. The research method was exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression analysis using IBM SPSS 22.0. The perceived usefulness of smart farm, which are availability, reliability and economic efficiency were selected as independent variables to analyze the influential factors on rural entrepreneurial intention using smart farm and the moderating effect of personal innovation was observed. As a result, reliability and economic efficiency have a positive(+) influence on rural entrepreneurial intention using smart farm. And personal innovation moderates the relationship between the availability, reliability of smart farm and rural entrepreneurial intention using smart farm. The results of this study have significance in that we devised and empirically revealed factors affecting rural entrepreneurship intentions from the perspective of perceived usefulness of smart farms, away from studies of general entrepreneurship intention factors such as internal personal characteristics and external environmental factors. The implications of the study are expected to be utilized at the seeking direction of policy for potential entrepreneur using smart farm, the training and consulting in actual field of smart farm.

최근 ICT융합기술이 다양한 산업분야와 사회 전반에 확산되고 적용됨에 따라 국내 농업의 많은 현안 과제를 해결하기 위한 수단 중 하나로써 스마트팜을 활용한 농촌창업에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구는 스마트팜을 활용한 농촌창업의도에 미치는 영향요인들을 지각된 유용성 측면에서 살펴보고 이를 바탕으로 스마트팜 창업 확산을 위한 제언을 하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 20세 이상의 일반 성인 296명이었고, 연구방법으로는 IBM SPSS 22.0을 활용하여 탐색적 요인분석과 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 독립변수로는 스마트팜의 지각된 유용성 요인으로 가용성, 신뢰성, 경제성을 선정하여 종속변수인 스마트팜을 활용한 농촌창업의도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였고, 개인혁신성의 조절효과를 분석하였다. 연구결과, 스마트팜의 신뢰성과 경제성은 스마트팜을 활용한 농촌창업의도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 조절효과와 관련하여 개인혁신성은 스마트팜의 가용성, 신뢰성과 농촌창업의도간의 관계를 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 스마트팜으로부터 제공되는 재배환경 및 생육 관련 데이터와 정보에 대한 신뢰 정도가 높을수록, 그리고 스마트팜을 통해 비용절감 및 수익성 제고 효과가 있을 것으로 기대하는 정도가 클수록 스마트팜을 활용해 창업하려는 의지에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 결과를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 타인보다 앞서서 혁신기술을 적극적으로 수용하려는 성향은 그 영향력을 강화하는 쪽으로 조절한다는 결과를 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 연구 결과는 내적 개인특성, 외적 환경요인 등의 일반적인 창업의도 영향요인 연구에서 벗어나 스마트팜의 지각된 유용성 관점에서 농촌창업의도 영향 요인을 새롭게 발굴하고 실증적으로 밝혔다는 데 의의를 지니고 있으며, 연구의 시사점은 잠재적 스마트팜 창농인을 대상으로 한 정책수립의 방향성 모색, 실제 현장에서의 스마트팜 교육 및 컨설팅에서 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
