This study is intended to look into the structural relationships between project manager's creative thinking, entrepreneurship, and project performance. To achieve this, research model and hypothesis were established to carry out statistical analysis based on the results of an empirical sample survey. The findings showed that project manager's creative thinking didn't improve project satisfaction directly, but it improved project satisfaction through the mediating effects of project manager's entrepreneurship. While it had a direct effect on perceived project performance, project manager's entrepreneurship was not mediated in this process. This suggests that even if project managers have a high expertise, thinking skill and motivation as creative thinking in working on the project, they have the limitation in leading to customer satisfaction from a personal perspective.

기업가정신은 기업가정신교육을 통해 개발할 수 있으며 창업의 성공과 발전에 중요한 역할을 한다. 창업교육의 중요성이 부각되면서 청년 기업가정신 교육의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 교육을 통해 창업을 위한 기본적인 지식과 기술을 습득할 수 있고 이를 바탕으로 창업에 대한 높은 목표와 열정을 가질 수 있다. 그러나 창업 교육에 대한 연구에서는 이러한 교육의 효과를 측정하는 것이 어렵고 창업의지와 이를 촉진하기 위한 기업가정신교육의 효과에 대한 연구는 여전히 부족하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 긍정심리자본과 창업의지의 관계를 검증하고, 나아가 기업가정신 교육 만족도가 긍정심리자본과 창업의지 간 관계에서 조절효과를 가지는지에 대한 여부를 검증하고자 하였다. 연구를 위해 총 113명의 표본 집단을 수집하였고, SPSS 28.0을 활용해 측정 항목의 타당성 및 가설 검증을 실시하였다.

Recently universities provide the students with the convergence education as a means of start-up support for addressing the youth unemployment crisis. This study aims to empirically analyze moderating effects of nationality in terms of the effects of employment capability on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial intentions. For evaluating the effect, a structural equation model was used. The results are as follows. First, employment capability significantly affects entrepreneurship. Second, employment capability does not have a direct impact on entrepreneurial intentions but it has an indirect effect, through entrepreneurship. Finally the moderating effect of nationality was revealed. We hope that the results are applied as the basic data for developing educational programs of convergence technology to promote employment and entrepreneurship.

With the advancement in digital transformation with smart technologies and the collapse of industry borders, increasing is the importance of understanding customer problems, fostering employee capabilities, and enhancing the partner capabilities to properly provide the best service to customers. This is what is called the humane entrepreneurship in the 4th Industrial Revolution. Humane entrepreneurship is believed to play a critical role in developing business ecosystems and thus economic growth of nations. We empirically tested the ideas that 1) entrepreneurship as a meta-structuring action shape the healthiness of business ecosystem and 2) subsequently both entrepreneurship and business ecosystems affect economic development of a country. The results indicate that humane entrepreneurship does not directly affect healthiness of business ecosystem, but the balanced humane entrepreneurship together with opportunity in business ecosystems has a positive relationship with GDP growth. In other words, opportunity can be appropriated by entrepreneurs who have balanced sense between human and enterprise dimension. Data collection and methodologies are discussed further in the paper.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries prepared the sixth industrialization certification system to increase the added value in the agricultural sector, but it is a bit hard to judge that the system has been in the stage of creating sufficient added value. In particular, because of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, there is a significant change in all industry sectors, including innovation in technology, and the change of perception among the society members is being rapidly changed toward the corporate sector's social role. Thus, we surveyed companies that received the sixth industrialization enterprise certificate to address this phenomenon and find clues on how to be competitive. We selected 800 companies certified by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries as sixth industrialization enterprises as our study samples. Among them, we subjected 275 respondents to a final analysis upon eliminating incomplete responses. The result of the study revealed that entrepreneurship, including autonomy that reflects the characteristics of the certified companies, had a significant positive impact on economic value. Moreover, with the size of the companies certified as the sixth industrialization enterprise and the industry trend toward the innovative Fourth Industrial Revolution considered, the strategic orientation including the customer orientation to intensively focus on customer needs and the technology orientation to accept technology as a competitive sector even in the agricultural industry was found to have a significant positive effect on economic value. Strategic orientation demonstrated a significant positive effect on social value. Entrepreneurship demonstrated a significant positive effect on economic values but did not significantly affect the social value. Lastly, while strategic orientation has demonstrated that no mediation effect resulted due to a high direct effect between entrepreneurship and economic value, a complete mediation effect occurred between entrepreneurship and social value. Based on this study, if the companies that received the sixth industrialization enterprise certificate are equipped with not only entrepreneurship but also strategic orientation for customer-oriented thinking and response to technological changes, they can become an influential element in creating not only economic value but also social value, which is emphasized as an element of sustainability.

This paper aims to examine structural relationship between the influence factors of company performance, hypothesizing that strategic orientations and entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in achieving organizational performance in small-medium sized and ventures manufacturing firms. For this research, data were collected from 205 firms. By using Structure Equation Modeling(SEM) method, it was found that competitor orientation, technology orientation directly affect company performance but, customer orientation were not affected company performance. Furthermore, it was also found that the relationship between strategy orientation and company performance is differentiated by entrepreneurship. Especially, this finding confirms that the entrepreneurship moderately affects the relationship between competitor orientation, technology orientation and company performance on the small-medium sized and ventures manufacturing firms.

As the economic, social, and environmental problems of the local community reach a serious level, our society is realizing the need to foster young talents who discover opportunities in local issues through entrepreneurship education and create social values through creative challenges. However, entrepreneurship education programs are generally focused on commerciality, so customized education programs to solve regional problems are insufficient. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a community problem-solving entrepreneurship curriculum. In this study, a competency based curriculum model was applied to develop the curriculum, and regional problem-solving entrepreneurship competencies were derived through expert advice from a total of 10 people. In the process, the Delphi methodology was additionally used to reduce the possibility of errors in the competency model. As a result of the study, a total of 23 regional problem-solving entrepreneurship competencies were confirmed, and knowledge(K) - skill(S) - attitude(A) by competency consisted of 5, 9, and 9, respectively. By applying this to Dunham's problem-solving six-step model, modular learning support measures were developed in the order of phase 1(problem discovery), phase 2(problem analysis), phase 3(plan), phase 4(measure), and phase 5(evaluation). This study is meaningful in that it integrated theory and practice by developing specific entrepreneurship curriculum and learning support measures based on the theoretical model devised in social welfare. In addition, it has implications in that it developed a regional problem-solving entrepreneurship competency model based on expert advice and proposed a specific curriculum based on this.

최근 기업가정신 관련 선진연구동향을 살펴보면, 네트워크를 원천으로 한 자원자본인 사회적 자본과 조직기업가정신이 벤처기업에게 다양한 자원과 정보에 접근할 수 있는 중요한 역할을 한다는 연구들이 주목받고 있다. 본 연구는 동태적 역량의 관점에서 사회적 자본과 조직기업가정신이 기업성과에 미치는 영향에 대해 탐색적으로 각각 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 국내 171명의 벤처기업 기업가를 대상으로 설문을 실시하였으며, 실증분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 네트워크에 근거한 자원 자본인 사회적 자본은 조직기업가정신에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 사회적 자본은 벤처기업의 기업성과에도 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 조직기업가정신은 기업성과에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 따라서 본 연구는 자원조달관점에서 태생적인 불리함을 지니고 있는 벤처기업에 있어 사회적 자본과 조직기업가정신이 기업성과에 중요한 영향을 미친다는 시사점을 제공한다. 아울러 변화와 혁신의 요구를 상대적으로 치열하게 경험하고 있는 벤처기업은 외부 자원을 활용할 수 있는 사회적 자본의 축적과 조직기업가정신 활동을 적절히 수행할 때 비로소 지속가능한 경영을 할 수 있을 것이라는 시준점을 얻었다.
