Abstract

This study aims to find out the influence of the intolerance of uncertainty on entrepreneurial intention by focusing on the start-up support system awareness. While most of existing studies focused on the positive psychological variables and individual environmental characteristics influencing on the entrepreneurial intention, this study has taken a look at the influence of the intolerance of uncertainty as the psychological variable to the entrepreneurial intention to negatively act on the entrepreneurial intention. As a result of the analysis, the intolerance of uncertainty under the control of entrepreneurship and gender is shown to have the negative (-) influence on the entrepreneurial intention and has high level of recognition on the start-up support system perception, and the start-up support system perception is confirmed to have positive (+) influence on the entrepreneurial intention. And, it also indicates that, with respect to the influence of the intolerance of uncertainty on the entrepreneurial intention, the start-up support system perception has the partial medium effect. Following this result of the study, it provides following indications: First the existing studies on the entrepreneurial intention had not covered the intolerance of uncertainty but it is confirmed as the psychological variable with negative influence on the entrepreneurial intention. Second, it is feasible for the preliminary start-up businesses may turn the fear on start-up failure into positive entrepreneurial intention with the start-up support system perception as the leading vehicle. And, third, based on the result, the government should enhance the start-up support system perception even more by seeking ways of efficient publicity to enable more preliminary start-up businesses to participate in diverse start-up support policies. Lastly, it discusses the limitations of this study as well as proposal for ensuing study plans.

창업에 대한 정부의 지원과 관심은 확대되고 있는 추세이다. 이에 본 연구는 창업의지에 미치는 다양한 요인 중 심리적인 측면에서 창업의지에 미치는 요인을 도출하여 실증적인 분석을 실시하였다. 기존 선행연구들이 대부분 긍정적인 심리 변수들과 개인의 환경특성이 창업의지에 미치는 영향을 연구한 반면, 본 연구에서는 창업의지에 부정적으로 작용할 수 있는 심리변수로 불확실성에 대한 인내력 부족이 창업의지에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 경로분석결과, 기업가정신과 성별 통제 하에 불확실성에 대한 인내력 부족은 창업의지에 부(-)의 영향을 미치고, 창업지원제도지각도는 창업의지에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 그리고 불확실성에 대한 인내력 부족이 창업의 지에 미치는 영향에 대해 창업지원제도지각도가 부분매개효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과 다음과 같은 시사점을 확인할 수 있는데 첫째 기존의 창업의지에 관한 선행연구에서 한 번도 다뤄지지 않았던 불확실성에 대한 인내력 부족이 창업의지에 부정적인 영향을 끼치는 심리변수임을 확인하였고, 둘째 예비창업자들이 창업지원제도지각도를 매개로 창업실패에 대한 두려움을 긍정적인 창업의지로 바꿀 수 있으며, 셋째는 이러한 결과를 토대로 정부는 다양한 창업 지원 정책을 많은 예비창업자들이 참여할 수 있도록 효율적인 홍보방법을 강구하여 창업지원제도지각도를 더욱더 높여야 한다는 것이다.
