Abstract

In order to generalize the social entrepreneurship model with cooperation orientation and increase the possibility of using the model, this study developed a measurement tool and tested it with 389 executives of social enterprises. For the development of the measurement tool, preliminary measurement items were formed through review of previous studies, and a questionnaire was tentatively composed of 40 measurement items in five areas through an expert panel review of the measurement items. A total of 389 questionnaires were collected by conducting a questionnaire survey targeting Korean social enterprise managers, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted using 375 questionnaires that could be analyzed. Five factors for 24 items were derived through exploratory factor analysis and reliability analysis. Through a series of analysis processes including primary and secondary confirmatory factor analysis, the model fit of the newly constructed social entrepreneurship research model was confirmed, and the validity and reliability of the measurement tools were verified. As a result of this study, the model fit of the social entrepreneurship model(social value orientation; innovativeness; pro-activeness; risk-taking; cooperation orientation) is verified, thereby improving the theoretical explanatory power of social entrepreneurship research and at the same time providing the basis and basis for theoretical expansion of follow-up research. The study proved the possibility of generalizing the social entrepreneurship model with added cooperation orientation, and at the same time, the measurement tool used in this study was widely used as a tool to measure social entrepreneurship theoretically and practically. In addition, it was confirmed that the cooperation orientation is manifested in corporate decision-making and activity behaviors for resource mobilization and capacity building, opportunity and performance creation, social capital and network reinforcement, and governance establishment of social enterprises.

본 연구는 협력지향성이 추가된 사회적기업가정신 모형을 일반화하고 모형의 이론적·실무적 활용 가능성을 높이고자 측정도구를 개발하여 사회적기업의 경영자 389명을 대상으로 실증하였다. 측정도구 개발은 선행연구 고찰을 통해 예비측정문항을 구성하고 측정문항에 대한 전문가 패널 검토를 거쳐 잠정적으로 다섯 개 영역, 40개의 측정문항으로 설문지를 구성하였다. 한국의 사회적기업 경영자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 총 389부의 설문이 수집되었으며, 이 중 분석 가능한 설문지 375부를 활용하여 탐색적 요인분석과 확인적 요인분석을 실시하였다. 탐색적 요인분석과 신뢰도 분석을 통해 24개의 문항에 대한 다섯 개 요인이 도출되었다. 일·이차 확인적 요인분석을 포함한 일련의 분석과정을 통하여 새롭게 구성된 사회적기업가정신 연구모형의 모형적합성을 확인하고 척도의 타당성과 신뢰성을 검증하였다. 본 연구에서는 협력지향성이 추가된 사회적기업가정신: 사회적가치지향성; 혁신성; 진취성; 위험감수성; 협력지향성 모형을 측정하는 도구를 새롭게 개발하고 양적연구를 수행하여 연구모형을 객관화함으로써 모형의 일반화 가능성을 입증하였다. 또한 연구를 통해 협력지향성이 사회적기업의 자원동원 및 역량강화, 기회 및 성과 창출, 사회적 자본 및 네트워크 강화, 거버넌스 구축을 위한 기업의 의사결정 및 활동의 행태로 발현됨을 확인하였다. 이러한 연구의 결과는 사회적기업가정신 연구의 이론적 설명력을 향상시킴과 동시에 후속 연구의 이론적 확장 근거와 토대를 제공한다. 다음으로 본 연구에서 타당성과 신뢰성이 검증된 사회적기업가정신 척도는 사회적기업가정신을 측정하는 도구로 학술연구와 실무에서 폭넓게 활용될 수 있다. 새롭게 개발된 척도는 사회적기업가정신 관련 연구에 있어서 조직차원의 행동적 관점에서 사회적기업가정신을 측정하는 도구로 활용될 수 있는 학술적 근거를 마련하였으며, 실무적으로도 기업의 기업가적 활동을 증진하고 자생력 강화를 지원하기 위한 조직의 사회적기업가정신 수준 측정 및 진단 도구로 활용될 수 있다.
