초록

대학생의 창업 활동은 현대 경제와 사회 발전에 큰 기여를 하고 있으며, 변화하는 경제 환경과 청년 실업 문제 해결에도 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 이들이 창업을 통해 혁신적인 아이디어와 기술을 시장에 선보이면, 지속 가능한 경제 성장과 사회적 가치를 창출할 수 있다. 또한, 대학생들의 창업 의지는 다양한 요인에 의해 형성되기 때문에, 이러한 요인들을 깊이 이해하고 적절히 지원하는 것이 중요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 롤모델의 중요성과 그 영향력을 다중직렬 매개효과 분석을 통해 체계적으로 탐구하였다. 300명의 대학생을 대상으로 한 설문조사를 통해, 성장마인드셋과 창업자기효능감이라는 두 심리적 변수가 롤모델의 영향과 창업의지 사이에서 어떠한 매개 역할을 하는지 분석하였다. 롤모델의 존재와 그들의 성공 경험은 대학생들의 성장마인드셋을 강화시키는데 도움을 주며, 이는 창업자기효능감을 높이고, 결국 창업에 대한 의지를 강화한다는 결과를 도출하였다. 분석 결과, 롤모델과의 접촉은 대학생들의 성장마인드셋 형성에 큰 영향을 미친다. 이러한 마인드셋은 창업과 관련된 도전과 실패를 학습의 기회로 받아들이는 긍정적인 사고를 촉진한다. 그리고 이런 마인드셋은 창업자기효능감을 강화시키며, 그 결과 창업에 대한 의지를 더욱 강화시킨다. 본 연구는 마인드셋 이론, 사회학습이론 등 다양한 이론들을 통합하여 창업의지 형성의 복잡한 과정에 대한 이해를 제공한다. 롤모델의 활용은 학생들의 창업의지를 크게 향상시킬 수 있으며, 교육 프로그램은 롤모델을 통해 창업 경험과 지식을 공유하게 함으로써 학생들의 성장마인드셋과 창업자기효능감을 강화할 수 있다. 본 연구가 대학 창업교육의 설계와 실행에 있어 중요한 지침을 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

The entrepreneurial activities of college students play a significant role in modern economic and social development, particularly as a solution to the changing economic landscape and youth unemployment issues. Introducing innovative ideas and technologies into the market through entrepreneurship can contribute to sustainable economic growth and social value. Additionally, the entrepreneurial intentions of college students are shaped by various factors, making it crucial to deeply understand and appropriately support these elements. To this end, this study systematically explores the importance and impact of role models through a multiple serial mediation analysis. Through a survey of 300 college students, the study analyzed how two psychological variables, growth mindset and entrepreneurial self-efficacy, mediate the influence of role models on entrepreneurial intentions. The presence and success stories of role models were found to enhance the growth mindset of college students, which in turn boosts their entrepreneurial self-efficacy and ultimately strengthens their entrepreneurial intentions. The analysis revealed that exposure to role models significantly influences the formation of a growth mindset among college students. This mindset fosters a positive attitude towards viewing challenges and failures in entrepreneurship as learning opportunities. Such a mindset further enhances entrepreneurial self-efficacy, thereby strengthening the intention to engage in entrepreneurial activities. This research offers insights by integrating various theories, such as mindset theory and social learning theory, to deeply understand the complex process of forming entrepreneurial intentions. Practically, this study provides important guidelines for the design and implementation of college entrepreneurship education. Utilizing role models can significantly enhance students' entrepreneurial intentions, and educational programs can strengthen students' growth mindset and entrepreneurial self-efficacy by sharing entrepreneurial experiences and knowledge through role models. In conclusion, this study provides a systematic and empirical analysis of the various factors and their complex interactions that impact the entrepreneurial intentions of college students. It confirms that psychological factors like growth mindset and entrepreneurial self-efficacy play a significant role in shaping entrepreneurial intentions, beyond mere information or technical education. This research emphasizes that these psychological factors should be comprehensively considered when developing and implementing policies and programs related to college entrepreneurship education.
