Abstract

This study examined the effects of adversity quotient and R&D capabilities on corporate performance and the mediating role of organizational creativity influencing factors in the relationship between these variables. This study established seven hypotheses, divided the adversity quotient into control, reach, and endurance, divided organizational creativity influencing factors into organizational resources and creative management practices, and divided corporate performance into management performance and technical performance. This study distributed 1,000 One hundred and sixteenquestionnaires to CEOs working at small and medium-sized technology start-ups in Gyeonggi-do and collected 122 copies under anonymous names. 116 questionnaires were used for hypothesis testing, excluding 6 cases in which responses were unfaithful or omitted. The results of this study are as follows. First, it was found that reach among the adversity quotient was positively related to organizational resources. Second, among the adversity quotient, control was found to have a positive(+) effect on management performance and technical performance, respectively. Third, organizational management practices were found to have a positive(+) effect on management performance. Fifth, organizational resources were found to partially mediate the relationship between control and technical performance, and to fully mediate the relationship between reach and technical performance. Finally, this study discussed the theoretical and practical implications of the research results.

본 연구는 역경지수와 연구개발역량이 기업성과에 미치는 영향과 이 변수 간의 관계에서 조직창의성 영향요인의 매개역할을 분석하였다. 본 연구는 7개의 가설을 설정하였으며, 역경지수를 통제력, 영향범위, 및 지속성으로 구분하였고, 조직창의성 영향요인을 조직자원과 조직경영관행으로 구분하였고, 기업성과를 경영성과와 기술적 성과로 구분하였다. 본 연구는 경기도 소재 기술창업 중소기업에 근무하는 CEO를 대상으로 1,000부의 설문지를 배포 후 무기명으로 122부를 수집하였다. 응답이 불성실하거나 누락된 6건을 제외한 116부의 설문지를 가설검증에 사용하였다. 본 연구의 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 역경지수 가운데 영향범위는 조직자원에 정(+)의 영향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 역경지수 가운데 통제력은 경영성과 및 기술적 성과 각각에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 조직경영관행은 경영성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 조직자원은 통제력과 기술적 성과 간의 관계를 부분 매개하고, 영향범위와 기술적 성과 간의 관계를 완전 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, 본 연구는 연구결과의 이론적 시사점 및 실무적 시시점에 대해 논의하였다.
