초록

2020년 초부터 전세계에 확산된 코로나 팬데믹, 4차 산업혁명의 가속화, 미중 갈등과 우크라이나 사태로 촉발된 공급망관리 리스크 등 최근에 체감하는 기업경기는 과거 어느 때보다 심각한 편이다. 중소기업을 창업하여 경영하고 있는 CEO들은 이러한 현실속에서 기업의 지속성에 대하여 어느 때보다 고민하고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 중소기업 CEO의 사업중단의도에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대한 실증적인 연구는 거의 없는 편이다. 본 연구에서는 중소기업의 사업환경(주력 사업분야의 경쟁강도, 인력수급 및 관리의 난이도) 인식, 기업 역량(직원역량, 기업의 제품 혹은 서비스 경쟁력, 공급망 및 수요자 관계, 디지털 역량 및 기술전문성), 경영자 역량(직원들과 경영자간 신뢰, 경영자의 관리역량, 경영자의 인지된 건강상태)이 CEO의 사업중단의도에 미치는 영향에 관하여 중소기업 CEO 260명을 대상으로 실증적으로 논의하였다. 연구 결과, 주력사업분야의 경쟁강도, 인력 수급 및 관리의 난이도가 사업중단의도에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤고, 직원역량, 제품(서비스) 경쟁력, 기업의 디지털 역량 및 기술전문성, CEO의 건강상태가 사업중단의도에 부(-)의 영향을 미쳤다. 이들의 영향 관계는 CEO의 건강상태, 제품(서비스) 경쟁력, 직원역량, 디지털역량 및 기술전문성, 주력사업의 경쟁강도, 인력의 수급 및 관리 난이도 순으로 나타났다. 공급망 및 수요자 관계, 직원과 CEO간 신뢰, 경영자의 관리역량은 사업중단의도에 유의미한 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 분석되었다. 한편, 사업자신감은 주력사업분야의 경쟁강도, 인력 수급 및 관리의 난이도, 제품(서비스) 경쟁력, 디지털 역량 및 기술전문성, CEO와 직원간 신뢰, 경영자의 관리 역량과 사업중단의도 간 매개효과가 있는 것으로 검정되었다. 본 연구는 중소기업 CEO들을 대상으로 사업중단의도에 관한 요인들을 실증적으로 분석하였다는 점에서 학술적인 의의가 있다. 실무적으로는 사업환경 인식, 기업 역량, 경영자 역량, 사업자신감이 사업중단의도에 영향을 미치는 요인임이 밝혀짐에 따라 이 부분을 보강할 수 있는 실행 아이디를 찾을 수 있다면 중소기업이 지속성장하거나 의미있는 출구를 찾는데 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.

The recent corporate economy, such as the COVID 19 pandemic that has spread all over the world since the beginning of 2020, the acceleration of the 4th industrial revolution, and supply chain management risks triggered by the US-China conflict and the Ukraine crisis, is more serious than ever before. CEOs who have started and managed small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are more concerned than ever about the sustainability of their businesses in this reality. Nevertheless, there were few empirical studies on the factors that influence the intention of SME CEOs to discontinue business. In this study, the perception of the business environment of SMEs (intensity of competition in key business areas, difficulty in manpower management), corporate competency (employee competency, company product or service competitiveness, supply chain and consumer relations, digital competency and technical expertise), and CEO's competency(trust between employees and the CEO, management competency and perceived health status of CEO) on CEO's intention to discontinue business was discussed. As a result of the study, the intensity of competition in the main business field, and the difficulty in manpower management had a positive (+) effect on the intention to discontinue the business, and the employee competency, product (service) competitiveness, digital competency of the company, and the CEO's Health status had a negative (-) effect on intention to discontinue business. The relationship between these influences was found in the order of CEO's health status, product competitiveness, employee competency, digital competency, competitive strength in the main business, and difficulty in manpower management. It was analyzed that supply chain and consumer relations, trust between employees and the CEO, and management capabilities did not significantly affect the intention to discontinue business. On the other hand, business confidence has a mediating effect between the intensity of competition in the main business field, the difficulty in manpower management, product or service competitiveness, digital competency, trust between employees and the CEO, and the management capability and intention to discontinue business was tested. This study had academic significance in that it empirically analyzed factors related to intention to discontinue business targeting small and medium-sized business CEOs. In practice, as it has been found that business environment awareness, corporate competency, managerial competency, and business confidence are factors that influence the intention to discontinue business, if an action ideas that can reinforce this part can be found, SMEs can achieve sustainable growth or it may help CEO find an meaningful exit.
