Abstract

Entrepreneurship by seniors who have accumulated skills and expertise in the industrial field is very important from a social point of view. This study aimed at seniors to find out the major start-up capabilities of seniors in an economic situation where instability factors and uncertainties are amplified due to the social structure of jobs that has changed due to COVID-19 during the 4th industrial revolution and the rapidly progressing high interest rates and global supply chain problems. The purpose of this study was to empirically verify how variables affect entrepreneurial intention. In addition, from the perspective of mindset, which is the individual psychological characteristic of pre-entrepreneurs, we tried to empirically verify whether growth mindset and fixed mindset have a significant effect on senior entrepreneurship intention. The psychological characteristics of founders were approached from the perspective of mindset, and an attempt was made to apply them to the field of entrepreneurship and to obtain practical implications. This study empirically analyzed the effects of growth mindset, fixed mindset, technical competency, network competency, and funding competency, which are components of mindset, on senior entrepreneurial intention, and verified the mediating effect of entrepreneurial efficacy. As a result of the empirical analysis, it was verified that growth mindset and technological competency had a positive (+) effect on entrepreneurial intention. In addition, it was verified that the mediating effect of entrepreneurial efficacy was significant in the influence of growth mindset and technological competency on entrepreneurial intention, and it was verified that growth mindset and technological competency are important variables in senior entrepreneurship. The study results provide the following policy implications. In order to activate senior entrepreneurship, first, to maximize the effect of founder education, programs such as customized entrepreneurship education that match the growth mindset characteristics, which are the psychological characteristics of founders, are needed. Second, it is required to expand the base of technology startups by expanding government support, such as expanding low-interest policy financing, for senior startups with technological capabilities and expertise. Third, it is necessary to provide institutional support for starting a business, such as providing a start-up program even before retirement, so that the expertise and technology accumulated by seniors can be linked to start-ups even after retirement.

산업 현장에서 축적된 기술과 전문성을 갖고 있는 시니어의 창업은 사회적인 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 시니어를 대상으로 4차 산업혁명기에 코로나19로 인해 변화된 일자리 사회구조와 최근 급격하게 진행되고 있는 고금리 및 글로벌 공급망 문제 등으로 불안 요인과 불확실성이 증폭된 경제 상황 속에서 시니어의 주요한 창업역량 변수들이 창업의도에 어떤 영향을 미치는가 실증적으로 검증하고자 하였다. 또한 예비창업자 개인 심리적 특성인 마인드셋의 관점에서 성장 마인드셋과 고정 마인드셋이 시니어 창업의도에 유의미한 영향을 미치는지 실증적으로 검증하고자 하였다. 창업자의 심리적 특성을 마인드셋의 관점에서 접근하여 창업분야에 적용하려고 시도하고 실무적 시사점을 얻고자 하였다. 본 연구는 마인드셋의 구성 요인인 성장 마인드셋, 고정 마인드셋과 창업역량의 기술적 역량, 네트워크 역량, 자금조달 역량이 시니어 창업의도에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하고 창업효능감의 매개효과를 검증하였다. 실증분석 결과는 성장 마인드셋과 기술적 역량은 창업의도에 정(+)의 효과를 미치는 것으로 검증되었다. 또한 성장 마인드셋과 기술적 역량이 창업의도에 미치는 영향에서 창업효능감의 매개효과가 유의한 것으로 검증되었고 시니어 창업에 있어 성장 마인드셋과 기술적 역량이 중요한 변수임을 검증하였다. 연구 결과 다음의 정책적 시사점을 준다. 시니어 창업을 활성화하기 위해서는 첫째, 창업자 교육 시 효과의 극대화를 위해 창업자의 심리적 특성인 성장 마인드셋 특성에 부합한 맞춤형 창업교육 등의 프로그램이 필요하다. 둘째, 기술 역량과 전문성을 갖춘 시니어 창업에 대해서는 저금리의 정책금융 확대 등 정부지원 확대로 기술창업의 저변확대가 요구된다. 셋째 시니어에게 축적되어있는 전문성과 기술력을 퇴직 후에도 창업에 연계될 수 있도록 퇴직 전부터 창업 프로그램의 제공 등 창업을 준비할 수 있는 제도적 시스템의 지원이 필요하다.
