Entrepreneurs recognize that their passion was an important factor in driving successful entrepreneurship. However, they were often unaware of the impact that third-party passions related to startups have on them. Therefore, in this study, it was verified whether the accelerator incubation program had an effective effect on portfolios. At this time, I tried to do an empirical analysis focusing on how the third-party accelerator entrepreneur passion affects the entrepreneurial performance of portfolios. To this end, a survey was conducted on representatives of portfolios across the country who completed the accelerator incubation program, and empirical testing was conducted based on 330 valid ones. As a result of empirical analysis, it was confirmed that mentoring and networking among accelerator incubation programs had a positive (+) effect on entrepreneurial performance of portfolios. On the other hand, education and seed investment in the accelerator program did not significantly affect the entrepreneurial performance of portfolios. On the other hand, it was tested that accelerator entrepreneur passion significantly moderated both the incubation program elements (education, mentoring, network, seed investment) and the entrepreneurial performance of portfolios. The results of this study are meaningful in that they reveal that the passion of accelerator entrepreneurs is an important lynchpin of incubation programs and the key to success in startups. In addition, this study suggests that it is important for startups to go one step further from seed investment and properly identify the accelerator entrepreneur and his passion, the key man of accelerators.

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.
