초록

열정이 기업가정신의 중요한 부분이며 창업가, 종업원 및 스타트업의 의도와 행동, 성과에 영향을 미친다는 경험적 증거가 늘어나고 있다. 열정은 스타트업을 시작하는 창업가가 극복해야 하는 노력과 도전을 고려할 때 기업가적 맥락에서 특히 중요하다. 본 연구는 액셀러레이터 보육 프로그램에 참여하는 스타트업 창업가 열정, 액셀러레이터 창업가와 매니저 열정이 보육 스타트업의 창업성과에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 했다. 또한 창업 자기효능감이 이 영향 관계에서 매개 역할을 하는지 확인하고자 했다. 설문조사는 액셀러레이터 보육 프로그램을 마친 스타트업 창업가로 온라인 방식으로 실시하였다. 분석에 활용된 설문자는 총 330명이었다. 실증 분석결과 스타트업 창업가 열정, 액셀러레이터 창업가와 매니저 열정은 모두 보육 스타트업의 창업성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것이 확인되었다. 열정의 영향력은 스타트업 창업가> 액셀러레이터 창업가> 액셀러레이터 매니저 순으로 높게 나타났다. 창업 자기효능감은 스타트업 창업가 열정 및 액셀러레이터 창업가 열정과 보육 스타트업의 창업성과 간에 각각 매개 역할을 하는 것이 확인되었다. 하지만 액셀러레이터 매니저 열정과 보육 스타트업의 창업성과 간에는 유의한 매개 역할이 확인되지 않았다. 본 연구는 액셀러레이터 창업가와 매니저의 열정이 보육 스타트업의 창업성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 사실을 실증적으로 처음으로 확인한 데 의의가 있다. 액셀러레이터 창업가와 매니저의 열정은 보육 스타트업의 창업성과를 창출하는 데 감춰진 핵심(lynchpin) 요인일 만큼 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 특히 액셀러레이터 창업가 열정은 보육 스타타업 창업성과에 미치는 영향력이 크므로 스타트업이 액셀러레이터를 선택할 때 이 사실을 인지하고 이들의 열정 평판을 주의 깊게 살펴볼 필요가 있다.

There is growing empirical evidence that passion is an important part of entrepreneurship and influences the intentions, behaviors and performance of entrepreneurs, employees and startups. Passion is especially important in an entrepreneurial context, given the effort and challenge that entrepreneurs starting a startup must overcome. The purpose of this study was to confirm the effect of the passion of startup entrepreneurs participating in the accelerator incubation program and the passion of accelerator entrepreneurs and managers on the entrepreneurial performance of incubator startups. In addition, we tried to confirm whether entrepreneurial self-efficacy plays a mediating role in this influence relationship. The survey was conducted online by startups entrepreneur who completed the accelerator incubation program. A total of 330 questionnaires were used for the analysis. As a result of the empirical analysis, it was confirmed that the passion of startup entrepreneurs and the passion of accelerator entrepreneurs and managers all had a positive (+) effect on the entrepreneurial performance of incubator startups. The influence of passion was found to be high in the order of startup entrepreneurs, accelerator entrepreneurs, and accelerator managers. It was confirmed that entrepreneurial self-efficacy plays a mediating role between the passion of startup entrepreneurs, the passion of accelerator entrepreneurs, and the entrepreneurial performance of incubator startups, respectively. However, no significant mediating role was identified between the passion of accelerator managers and the entrepreneurial performance of incubator startups. This study is significant in empirically confirming for the first time that the passion of accelerator entrepreneurs and managers has a positive effect on the entrepreneurial performance of incubator startups. The passion of accelerator entrepreneurs and managers is playing an important role as a hidden lynchpin in creating the entrepreneurial performance of incubator startups. In particular, since the passion of accelerator entrepreneurs has a great influence on the performance of incubator startups, it is necessary to recognize this fact and carefully examine their passion reputation when startups select accelerators.
