초록

중소기업 CEO들은 치열한 경영 현장에서 기업의 지속가능성에 대하여 고민이 많으며 때론 사업을 중단하고자 하는 의도를 갖게 된다. 본 연구는 중소기업의 사업환경(경쟁강도, 인력운용 난이도) 인식, 기업 역량(직원 역량, 제품(서비스) 경쟁력, 디지털(기술) 역량), 경영자 역량(관리 역량, 건강 상태), 사업승계 인식이 CEO의 사업중단 의도에 미치는 영향에 관하여 중소기업 CEO들을 대상으로 실증적으로 논의하였다. 본 연구는 다양한 업종의 중소기업 CEO들을 대상으로 2022년 3월20일부터 4월15일까지 설문을 수행하였으며, 확보된 296부의 표본에 대하여 SPSS 24.0을 사용하여 연구가설을 검증하였다. 연구 결과, 사업환경 인식 중 경쟁강도, 인력운용 난이도, 그리고 사업승계 인식이 사업중단 의도에 유의적인 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 기업 역량 중 직원 역량, 제품(서비스) 경쟁력, 디지털(기술) 역량, 경영자 역량 중 건강 상태는 사업중단 의도에 유의적인 부(-)의 영향을 미친다는 결과로 나타났다. 한편 정부규제는 경쟁강도, 인력운용 난이도, 경영자의 사업승계 인식과 사업중단 의도간 조절효과가 있었다. 본 연구의 학문적 가치라면 여러 선행연구에 따라 단편적으로 산재해 있던 '사업중단'의 개념을 자발성의 높고 낮음 그리고 소유권 변경의 수준을 기준으로 체계화 해보았다는 점이다. 또한 국내 중소기업 CEO들을 대상으로 사업중단 의도에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 실증 분석하였다는 점이다. 아울러 CEO들 중에서도 특히 우리나라 베이비부머 CEO들의 경우에는 이들의 연령을 고려하면 사업을 잘 정리하여 후계자에게 넘겨주는 것 역시 사업중단의 또 다른 긍정적인 개념으로 인식될 수 있음을 밝혀내었다는 점이다.

CEOs who have started and managed small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have a lot of concerns about the sustainability of their businesses in the fierce management field and sometimes have the intention to discontinue their businesses. In this study, the perception of the business environment of SMEs (intensity of competition, difficulty in manpower management), the competency of the corporate (employee competency, product or service competitiveness, digital or technical capability), the competency of the CEO's (management competency and health status of CEO), and the perception of business succession on the CEO's intention to discontinue business were empirically studied with SME CEOs. This study conducted a survey of SME CEOs in various industries from March 20 to April 15, 2022, and verified the research hypothesis using SPSS 24.0 with 296 samples obtained. As a result of the study, the intensity of competition, the difficulty in manpower management, and the perception of business succession had a positive (+) effect on the intention to discontinue the business. On the other hand, the employee competency, the product or service competitiveness, the corporate digital or technical competency, and the CEO's health status had a negative (-) effect on the intention to discontinue business. Meanwhile, it was observed that government regulations also have a moderating effect on the intensity of competition, the difficulty in manpower management, the business succession perception of CEO, and the intention to discontinue business. This study has academic significance in that the concept of 'discontinuing business', which was fragmentarily scattered according to various preceding studies, was systematized based on the level of ownership change and voluntariness. And that it empirically analyzed factors related to the intention to discontinue business targeting SME CEOs. In addition, that it observed for the baby-boomer CEOs in Korea the factors influencing the intention to discontinue business and that it was confirmed that considering their age, organizing the business stable and handing it over to the successor was another positive concept of business discontinuation.
