Abstract

The global economic crisis, the trend of an aging society, and the rapid digital transformation are huge burdens and crises for our society. Due to these environmental changes and the economic recession, entrepreneurship and re-employment issues after retirement have emerged as social issues. This study was conducted to empirically analyze what factors affect seniors when they may start a business. In particular, as the fourth industrial revolution progresses, the focus was on the capability to utilize information and communication technology (ICT) and digital media that cannot be avoided. For empirical analysis, an online survey of seniors was conducted and 287 valid samples were analyzed. SPSS 24.0 and Macro Process 4.0 were used for statistical analysis. As a result of the empirical analysis of this study, self-efficacy and personal innovation for information technology acceptance(ICT), and communication capability using digital media had a significantly positive (+) effect on senior's entrepreneurial intention. However, the perceived usefulness of information technology and the capability to utilize digital media devices were not tested for significance. Among the variables that had a significant effect, personal innovation was found to have the greatest effect. Opportunity recognition was found to play a mediating role between self-efficacy, personal innovation, communication capabilities, and senior's entrepreneurial intention. The results of this study are of academic and practical significance in that digital media utilization capability is also an influential factor among various factors influencing the entrepreneurial intention of seniors.

글로벌 경제위기와 고령화 추세 그리고 급속한 디지털 전환은 한국 사회에 큰 부담이자 위기이다. 이러한 환경 변화와 경기침체는 시니어들의 퇴직 후 창업 및 재취업에 대한 이슈가 사회적으로 부상하고 있다. 본 연구는 시니어를 대상으로 하고 창업할 시 어떤 요인이 영향을 미치는지 실증 분석하기 위해 수행되었다. 특히 4차 산업혁명 시대를 맞아 피할 수 없는 정보통신기술(ICT) 및 디지털 미디어에 대한 활용 역량에 초점을 두었다. 이를 실증적으로 분석하기 위해 시니어를 대상으로 온라인 설문 조사를 하였다. 유효한 287개를 분석대상으로 삼았다. 통계분석에는 SPSS 24.0와 Macro Process 4.0을 활용하였다. 본 연구의 실증 분석 결과, 정보기술 수용에 대한 자기효능감, 개인 혁신성, 디지털미디어를 활용한 커뮤니케이션 역량은 시니어 창업 의도에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 하지만 정보기술에 대한 지각된 유용성과 디지털미디어 기기 활용역량은 유의성이 나타나지 않았다. 유의한 영향을 미친 변인 중 개인혁신성이 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 기회 인식은 자기효능감, 개인혁신성, 커뮤니케이션 역량과 시니어 창업 의도 간에 매개 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 시니어의 창업에 영향을 미치는 다양한 요인 중에서 디지털미디어 활용역량 역시 영향을 미치는 요인임을 실증적으로 검정했다는 점에서 학술적 및 실무적 의미가 있다.
