초록

4차 산업혁명시대가 현대사회에 도래함에 따라 시대변화에 능동적으로 대처하고, 현재의 삶의 위기를 극복하기 위하여 직업전환을 꾀하거나 자기개발 및 노후 준비를 위한 성인학습자들의 창업에 대한 관심이 계속해서 증대되고 있다. 정부와 대학 등 여러 기관에서는 창업에 관심이 많아진 성인학습자들을 위하여 창업을 적극적으로 장려하는 정책을 추진하고 있다. 그러나, 제2차 대학 창업교육 5개년 계획(안)에 따르면 실습형 강좌보다 이론 중심의 창업교육이 대부분이며, 창업 이후의 고도화 교육지원 역량이 부족한 상황(교육부, 2018)이다. 성인학습자에게 창업교육 및 창업 환경 조성이 미흡하다는 문제점이 대두되어 창업교육이 성인학습자의 창업의지와 창업행동에 미치는 영향 관계에서 자기효능감의 효과를 실증적으로 규명하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 연구대상은 성인학습자를 대상으로 2022년 9월부터 10월까지 온라인 설문조사를 실시였고, 총 207부가 수집되었다. 척도의 신뢰성을 검증하기 위하여 크론바흐 알파계수(Cronbach's α)를 산출하여 분석하고 측정하였다. 가설검증은 다중회귀분석 통계분석 방법을 사용하였고 SPSS 22.0 통계처리 프로그램을 이용하였다. 연구 결과, 첫째, 자기효능감은 창업교육에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 창업교육은 성인학습자의 창업의지에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 창업교육은 성인학습자의 창업행동에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 자기효능감은 성인학습자의 창업의지에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, 자기효능감은 성인학습자의 창업행동에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 여섯째, 창업교육과 성인학습자의 창업의지 간의 관계에서 자기효능감은 매개 효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 일곱째, 창업교육과 성인학습자의 창업행동 간의 관계에서 자기효능감은 완전매개 효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 성인학습자들의 특성을 고려하여 다양한 교육방식 등을 적용하는 것이 필요함을 확인하였고 따라서 성인학습자들에게 본인들의 현장경험을 기반한 국내·외 창업 사례나 벤처기업 등의 경영관리의 전반적인 내용에 대해 실무적으로 학습하는 프로그램 또는 성인학습자들이 직접 창업을 구성하고 구상한 내용에 맞는 사업계획서를 작성하여 그 내용을 발표하고 토의하는 방식 등의 전문적인 창업교육을 위하여 지속적 개발이 필요하다는 시사점을 도출하였다. 또한, 창업교육을 통해 성인학습자들이 실제로 창업행동을 할 수 있도록 창업의지를 제고시키고 자기효능감을 심어주어 그들의 자기개발 또는 제2의 삶을 설계 할 수 있도록 지원체계를 만들어야 할 것이다.

As getting in 4th Industrial Revolution Times, Continuing Education Enrolled Students(CEES) trying to find loophole for jepordized current life and need job transfer have surged their interest significantly on starting new business to bring up their post career after retirement through self-improvement. Government and university have actively initiated diverse policies of promoting startup for CEES in kicking off entrepreneurship courses and programs. However, relevant main policy, 'The 2nd University Startup Education Five-Year Plan (draft)' have too chiefly focused on theoretical start-up education rather than practical courses, causing the problem of inappropriate support for implementing real startup and business (Ministry of Education, 2018). This study is brought to empirically investigate the effect of self-efficacy as perspective of the impact of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial intention and behavior to come up with problem of poor entrepreneurial environment and entrepreneurship education to CEES. As to empirical research, this paper deliver on-line survey to CEES from September to October 2022, collect 207 effective feedbacks, In order to verify the reliability of the scale, the Cronbach's Alpha Coefficient (Cronbach's α) was calculated, analyzed, and measured. For hypothesis test, this paper utilize the multiple regression analysis statistical analysis method and use the SPSS 22.0 statistical processing program. Empirical results show, first, it was found that self-efficacy had a significant effect on start-up education. Second, start-up education had a significant effect on the intention to start a business of adult learners. Third, start-up education had a significant effect on the start-up behavior of adult learners. Fourth, self-efficacy had a significant effect on the intention of adult learners to start a business. Fifth, self-efficacy had a significant effect on the start-up behavior of adult learners. Sixth, self-efficacy had a mediating effect in the relationship between entrepreneurship education and adult learners' intention to start a business. Seventh, self-efficacy had a complete mediating effect in the relationship between start-up education and adult learners' start-up behavior. This paper is brought three significant implications. First, main consideration developing entrepreneurship education tools for CEES need to falls on defining potential needs of CEES as segmenting as to coming up with diversity of CEES's characteristics such as gender, age, experience, education, and occupation. Second, as to design specific entrepreneurship education program, both practical training program of utilizing CEES's career field experience benchmarking best practice startup and venture cases from domestic and global, and professional startup program of CEES initiating directly startup from ideation to develop business plan with pitching and discussing. Third, entrepreneurship education for CEES should be designed to incubate self-efficacy to enhance entrepreneurial intention of implementing entrepreneurial behavior as a real, eventually leading solid support system of self-improvement for CEES' Retirement life planning.
