Abstract

As part of the recent economic revitalization measures, the national level of encouragement for young people's entrepreneurship continues, and investment in young people's entrepreneurship and support from young people are increasing. Entrepreneurship intention is a direct factor leading to entrepreneurship, and many studies have studied the individual characteristics of entrepreneurs that influence entrepreneurial intention. In the same context, the purpose of this study was to investigate the entrepreneur's passion as a factor affecting entrepreneurial intention, divided into harmony passion and obsessive passion. In addition, the pass to need for achievement, emotion, and subjective norms, which are the individual characteristics of entrepreneurs that influence passion, were verified. To this end, an online survey was conducted for prospective entrepreneurs in universities, and data of 203 persons were collected and structural equations were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the need for achievement and positive emotions of preliminary entrepreneurs had a positive (+) effect on the passion for harmony, while the negative emotions and subjective norms were not significant for the passion for harmony. The need for achievement had a negative (-) effect on the obsessive passion, and the positive and negative emotions had a positive (+) effect on the obsessive passion, but the subjective norm was not significant on the obsessive passion. It was confirmed that harmony passion and obsessive passion showed positive (+) effect on entrepreneurial intention. It also confirmed whether harmonious passion and obsessive passion have a mediating effect between need for achievement, positive emotion, negative emotion, and entrepreneurial intention. As a result, it has a mediating effect between need for achievement, positive emotion and entrepreneurial intention, especially need for achievement has a complete mediating effect. Obsessive passion was also confirmed to have a mediating effect in the relationship between positive emotions and intention to start a business.

최근 경제 부흥정책의 하나로 청년들의 창업에 대한 국가차원의 장려가 지속됨에 따라 청년창업에 대한 투자와 청년들의 지원이 증가하고 있다. 창업의도는 창업으로 이어지는 직접적인 요인으로 많은 연구들이 창업의도에 영향을 미치는 기업가의 개인적 특성에 대해서 연구하였다. 같은 맥락에서 본 연구의 목적은 창업의도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로서 창업가의 열정을 조화 열정과 강박 열정으로 나누어 조사하였다. 또한 열정에 영향을 미치는 창업가의 개인적 특성인 성취욕구, 감정, 주관적 규범을 검증하였다. 이를 위해 예비창업가를 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 202명의 데이터를 수집하여 구조방정식 분석을 하였다. 분석결과 예비창업가의 성취욕구, 긍정적 감정은 조화 열정에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타난 반면, 부정적 감정과 주관적 규범은 조화 열정에 유의미하지 않았다. 성취욕구는 강박열정에 부(-)의 영향을 보였고, 긍정적 감정과 부정적 감정은 강박 열정에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤으나 주관적 규범은 강박 열정에 유의미하지 않았다. 조화 열정과 강박 열정은 창업의도에 정(+)의 영향을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 조화 열정과 강박 열정이 성취욕구, 긍정적 감정, 부정적 감정과 창업의도 사이에서 매개효과가 있는지를 확인하였고, 그 결과 성취욕구, 긍정적 감정과 창업의도 사이에서 매개효과가 나타났고, 특히 성취욕구는 완전매개효과가 있었다. 긍정적 감정과 창업의도간의 관계에서 강박 열정 또한 매개효과가 확인되었다.
