Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of entrepreneurship and personal characteristics on entrepreneurial intention and to analyze what factors influence the entrepreneurial intention through the moderating effects of social networks. So, the survey was conducted on 374 employees in their 30s or older. Descriptive statistics were used to understand the actual state of entrepreneurial intentions, and exploratory factor analysis was conducted to analyze the validity. In addition, a correlation analysis was conducted to identify relationships with variables, finally, a hierarchical regression analysis was performed to identify the effect of moderating social networks in entrepreneurship and personal characteristics. The study found that, firstly, Entrepreneurship was positively correlated with extroversion, achievement desire, self-efficacy, social network, entrepreneurial intention, and negatively correlated with introversion. Second, The extroversion of personal characteristics showed positive correlations with achievement desire, self-efficacy, social network, and entrepreneurial intention and negatively correlated with introversion. Introversion has a negative correlation with achievement desire, self-efficacy, social network, and entrepreneurial intention, and self-efficacy has a positive correlation with social network and entrepreneurship. Third, social networks have been shown to moderate the relationship between personal characteristics and entrepreneurial intention. Reflecting the results from this study, we expect that those preparing for future start-ups will be a meaningful reference to validate their capabilities and start them.
