The entrepreneurship can be a source of national growth potential as behavioral tendencies of people who seek innovation, take risks of failure, and proactively respond to opportunities. In particular, in the economic situation of Korea where growth has been stagnated, it is necessary to strengthen the entrepreneurship of women which is relatively lower than men's in order to activate the start-up and economic participation of the whole people. In this regard, this study focuses not only on gender differences in entrepreneurship but also on the hidden impact of social contexts that cause gender differences in entrepreneurship. Specifically, this study examined the moderating effects of childbirth, a factor that reflects the social context of Korea in the relationship between gender and entrepreneurship. According to the results of the model that includes the interaction effect of these variables in addition to the independent effects of gender and childbirth, the gender effect disappeared, while the significant effect of both the childbirth variable and the interaction variable of gender and childbirth were confirmed. Furthermore, according to additional analysis, which identified the differences in entrepreneurship by creating four types of treatment groups based on gender and childbirth status, entrepreneurship was significantly lower in the 'female and childbirth' group than in all other groups. The difference between the remaining treatment groups was not statistically significant. These results indicate that differences in entrepreneurship levels between men and women overlap not with the unique trait of men and women, but with the social contextual effects of Korea, where women are under the full burden of childbirth and parenting. This study suggests implications that effective policy measures to promote women's entrepreneurship or economic activity should be taken by taking into account the social context of Korea that suppresses women's entrepreneurial behavior.

Recently, YouTube's growth started drawing attention. YouTube is not only a content-consumption channel but also provides a space for consumers to express their intention. Consumers share their opinions on YouTube through comments. The study focuses on the text of global entrepreneurs' speeches and the comments in response to those speeches on YouTube. A content analysis was conducted for each speech and comment using the text mining software Leximancer. We analyzed the theme of each entrepreneurial speech and derived topics related to the propensity and characteristics of individual entrepreneurs. In the comments, we found the theme of money, work and need to be common regardless of the content of each speech. Talking into account the different lengths of text, we additionally performed a Prominence Index analysis. We derived time, future, better, best, change, life, business, and need as common keywords for speech contents and viewer comments. Users who watched an entrepreneur's speech on YouTube responded equally to the topics of life, time, future, customer needs, and positive change.

국내 창업연구 결과에 따르면 사내벤처 기업의 생존률 및 성과가 일반 창업기업 대비 더 높게 나타난다는 연구결과들이 제시되고 있다. 이에 우리 정부는 2017년부터 사내벤처 및 분사창업기업 육성을 위한 지원제도를 운영하고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 이러한 정부의 개입이 분사창업기업의 창업과 성장에 미치는 영향 관계를 분석하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 본 연구의 대상자는 2019년 1차년도 사내벤처 육성프로그램에 참여한 7개의 기업 중 11개의 분사기업팀을 대상으로 하였으며, 주된 영역은 (1)분사 칭업자의 특성에 따른 기업가적 의도 및 (2) 모기업의 지원정책, (3) 정부의 정책 개입에 따른 분사창업과의 관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 3개월의 이노베이션 부트캠프 과정 이후 2022년까지 해당기업의 CEO 인터뷰 및 기사를 통해 추적한 결과, 사내벤처팀 모두 모기업의 지원정책과 본인의 업무를 기반으로 창업을 시작하였으며, 모기업 및 유통파트너를 첫 소비자로 하는 경우가 다수를 차지하였다. 모기업은 재정직 지원 제공하는 한편, 정부에서 요구한 '실패시 재입사 가능'의 조항을 준수하고 있었으며 이러한 정부의 정책개입은 중소기업의 사내벤처제도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 본 연구를 통해 우리나라 정부의 사내혁신을 통한 혁신창업 활성화에 이론적, 실무적, 정책적 제안을 제시하고자 한다.

This study examined the effects of curiosity, the personal characteristics of start-up founders, on entrepreneurship. Among the various factors that make up the entrepreneurship, this study identified the relationship between the practical factors (challenge, innovativeness, competition) and the founder's curiosity. Based on previous studies, curiosity was divided into four individual factors: deficiency, playfulness, social curiosity, and stimulus pursuit. For each individual factor, we analyzed meaningful relationship with entrepreneurship. In addition, the founders were classified into those who simply think of starting a business, those preparing to start a business, and those who started the business. Each group was analyzed their degree of curiosity. The data were analyzed based on the final 248 data for entrepreneurs who are preparing or starting their own business in Daegu-Gyeongbuk region. Analysis shows that curiosity is higher in those who prepare or start a business than those who think about it. Curiosity has been found to have a positive effect on both the challenge, the innovation, and the composition of the competition. In addition, in entrepreneurship, the challenge was found to have a positive effect on innovation, but it did not affect competition composition. The characteristics of individual factors of curiosity were also different, and there was a significant effect of deficiency and playfulness on challenge, social curiosity and stimulus pursuit on innovation, and stimulus pursuit on competition. These findings are significant in identifying and analyzing curiosity as a factor influencing entrepreneurship. The results of the analysis can help theoretical expansion of entrepreneurship. In addition, it can provide important implications for the direction of entrepreneurship education and program development among volunteer activities for prospective entrepreneurs.

여성들은 창업을 계획하고 실행할 때 여성이라는 이유로 크고 작은 문제들에 직면하게 되고, 이것이 여성 창업과 여성 기업의 발전에 장애가 되고 있다. 이에 경쟁력 있는 여성 기업이 설립되고 성장할 수 있도록 현실감 있고 효과성 있는 다양한 정책과 지원 제도가 마련되어야할 것이다. 그러기 위해 여성창업과 창업교육에 대한 현 상황과 선행 연구들에 대한 고찰이 필요하다. 여성 창업과 경영에 대한 연구는 여성창업자 개인에 대한 연구와 더불어 여성창업자를 둘러싼 사회. 문화적 배경의 영향까지 고민해야 할 것이다. 여성창업자가 창업을 하고 성장을 하는데 영향을 미치는 요인들에는 개인의 내적인 특성과 환경적인 특성의 여러 요인들이 통합적으로 고려되어야 한다는 관점에 근거하여 환경적 요인으로는 사회적 지지를 그리고 개인의 내적 특성으로는 기업가정신과 셀프리더십을 선정하였다. 여성창업자의 창업효능감과 창업의지에 영향을 주는 요인들에 대한 연구를 통해 사회적으로 여성창업자에게 관심을 가져주고 지지해주며, 창업교육과 창업단계별로 필요한 것을 지원해주는 것의 중요성을 재차 알리고 그 방안을 마련하는데 도움이 될 수 있는 기초 자료로 제공하고자 한다. 여성의 창업효능감과 창업의지는 단순히 창업 교육으로만 향상될 수 있는 것이 아니라 사회적지지 또한 더불어 중요함을 이번 연구를 통해서 다시 확인할 수 있었다.

Second, among the factors(risk-taking propensity, locus of control, tolerance for ambiguity) of personal characteristics, locus of control hardly influenced the opportunity competency. Third, opportunity competency(opportunity recognition and opportunity evaluation) had positive influence to entrepreneurial intention. Fourth, the study investigated the mediated effect of opportunity competency. The result showed that among the factors of entrepreneurship and personal characteristics, only two factors that are proactiveness and locus of control were not mediated by opportunity competency. and opportunity evaluation was acted as a mediator between proactiveness and entrepreneurial Intention, compared with opportunity recognition. Lastly, public enterprise's R&D supporting moderated the entrepreneurial intention). Based on the result, the study showed that first, the key factors of entrepreneurship except for proactiveness and personal characteristics(risk-taking propensity, locus of control, tolerance for ambiguity) except for locus of control affect the intention to start-up, repeatedly. This results are explained that employees have not started a business yet. Second, research on start-up suggests the need to analyze factors differentiated before and after the start-ups. Based on the results, entrepreneurship and personal characteristics show that study on the effects of start-up intentions should be carried out before and after the actual start-up takes place, and can be used as effective data in policies to promoting start-ups in manufacturing field.

2019년 장애인경제활동실태조사에 따르면 장애인의 고용률은 35%, 실업률은 6.6%로 우리나라 전체 경제 활동 인구의 고용률 61.5%, 실업률 4.4%와 비교할 때 매우 낮은 수준을 보여주고 있다. 상대적으로 저조한 장애인의 취업 및 고용 상황을 개선하기 위하여 정부 주요 부처에서 활발한 노력을 하고 있으나, 장애인의 고용환경은 여전히 열악하여 장애인의 낮은 경제활동 참가율, 직종 선택의 제한, 지원 고용에 비해 낮은 일반고용률, 비정규직 치중 등 열악한 고용 형태의 질적 개선 등 장애인고용에 대한 정책적 지원이 더 개선되고 발전되어야 함을 내포하고 있다. 그에 따른 대안으로 장애인 창업이 주목을 받고 있다. 그러나 창업은 비장애인조차도 성공하기가 어렵고 실패할 확률이 높다. 장애인 창업의 경우 장애라는 특성으로 인해 실패할 경우 재기하기 어려운 상황에 처해질 가능성이 비장애인보다 높다. 따라서 장애인 창업의 특성을 고려하여 성공 창업 요소를 파악할 필요가 있으며, 그에 영향을 미치는 요인들에 관한 연구는 시급한 상황이다. 본 연구의 목적은 비장애인들을 대상으로 이루어진 기회 인식, 창업 의도, 기업가정신에 관한 선행 연구의 연구 결과를 바탕으로 장애인 창업자의 창업의지에 미치는 영향요인을 규명해 보고자 한다. 특히 장애인 창업자의 기회인식과 창업의지 사이에서 기업가 정신(혁신성, 위험 감수성, 진취성)의 매개효과를 검증하며, 이 과정에서 창업자의 창업 의도를 고취시킬 수 방안에 관해 논의해 보고자 한다.
