Based on social capital theory, this study investigated the influence of the start-up founder's social competence on the start-up's access to funding sources and performance through the mediating role of the type of social network. This study aimed to examine two types of social networks empirically (i.e., personal networks and business networks) as social capital in analyzing the effect of the founder's social competence and social capital on the method of accessing funding sources. A self-report questionnaire was administered to 252 South Korean start-up founders whose businesses are based in South Korea. Path analysis and mediation effect analysis were performed by structural equation modeling(SEM) using STATA 16.1. This study examined the full mediating effect of the founder's social competence on his/her personal and business networks, respectively, and how the effect leads to different methods to approach funding sources. This is the first study in South Korea to analyze empirically how social competence has contrasting effects on personal and business networks as well as how each type of network varies in its influence on the method founders use to attract investment. This study is also significant in that it proposed a new methodology by utilizing the position generator as the measure of personal and business networks to analyze social networks in detail. The analyses of 252 survey data collected over a period of six months will be a valuable resource that may provide researchers, founders, investors, and other stakeholders in the start-up ecosystem with meaningful implications.

최근 정부가 창업기업에게 3년간 공공금융기관 등을 통해 약 100조원 투입하였으며, 금융위원회가 신용보증기관과 산업은행 등 정책금융 등의 많은 창업지원 자금을 통해 약 35조원을 지원하는 등 최근 3년간(2015년~2018년) 창업기업에 약 100조원 이상을 지원하였다. 실제로 중소기업청의 지원예산 중 스타트업 지원 비중은 85%에 달한 반면 스케일업(성장·성숙기)지원은 15%에 불과하다. 그러나 국내 창업기업의 생존율은 선진국에 비해 턱없이 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 창업 후 3년간 생존율은 39.1%로 10곳 중 4곳 정도만 살아남는 것으로 조사되었고, 5년간 살아남을 확률은 27.5% 10곳 중 3곳 정도만 살아남는다. 반면 해외 창업기업들은 5년간 창업기업 생존율은 우리나라의 2배에 달한다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 최근 정부의 적극적인 지원이 이루어지고 있는 초기창업자에 대한 연구의 필요성과 함께 창업동기와 창업준비가 사업계속의도에 미치는 영향관계에서 창업만족도의 매개역할에 관한 영향을 실증적으로 분석하고 살펴보고자 한다. 또한, 초기창업자의 창업동기와 창업준비에 기초하여 창업을 한 후에 창업에 대한 만족도를 높일 수 있는 방법보다는 창업 전 부터 사전 준비의 필요성을 고찰하고자 한다. 이러한 관점에서 실무적 시사점을 도출하고, 초기창업자들의 창업만족도를 높이고 계속 가능한 창업수행을 할 수 있도록 유용한 정책적 시사점을 제시하고자 한다.

통계청 자료에 따르면 지난해 자영업 폐업률은 전년 대비 10.2% 포인트 높은 87.9%를 기록했다. 자영업 4개 업종인 도소매업, 음식, 숙박업은 지난해 48만 3985개가 새로 생겼으며 반면 42만 5203개가 문을 닫았다. 2018년 8월 통계청 자료에 따르면 온라인쇼핑 거래액은 전년 동월 대비 19.6% 증가했고, 모바일쇼핑 거래액도 모바일 이용 확산과 간편 결제 서비스 발전 등에 힘입어 전년 동월 대비 29.7% 증가하였다. 본 연구에서는 소매업인 온라인 쇼핑몰은 매년 20%대의 성장률을 보이고 있는 점에 주목해서 온라인 쇼핑몰의 매출 성과와 연관이 있는 방문 의도에 미치는 변수를 연구하고자 한다. 해마다 판매자가 증가하고 있는 온라인 쇼핑몰 업계는 치열한 경쟁과 늘어나는 마케팅 비용을 감당하지 못해 폐업의 수순을 밟고 있는 경우가 많다. 온라인쇼핑 운영자들이 하고 있는 대표적인 마케팅 방법인 블로그, 키워드 검색광고, SNS 채널 마케팅이 온라인 쇼핑몰의 방문 의도에 얼마나 영향을 미치고 있는지 연구 조사하고자 한다. 특히 온라인 쇼핑몰에 방문하는 사람들의 개인적 특성인 충동구매 성향, 다양성 추구 성향, 자기조절 성향을 조절 변수로 하여 개인 성향에 따라 각 독립변수들과의 방문 의도 상관관계를 알아보려 한다. 독립변수들이 방문 의도와의 관계를 실증 분석하여 온라인쇼핑몰의 준비하는 예비창업자나 기창업자들에게 보다 지속적인 기업성장과 매출성과에 도움이 되고자 한다.

Entrepreneurship of a founder and psychological characteristics are very important factors for the start-up success. To understand the importance like this, this study investigated effect relationships of the entrepreneurship and psychological characteristics on the start-up success. For this, 122 copies of the questionnaire were empirically analyzed for the youth entrepreneurs who entered the youth founder academy which is founded and managed by the Small and Medium Business Corporation. According to results of analysis, both the entrepreneurship consisting of proactivenss, risk taking and autonomy, and the internal locus of control, the psychological characteristics were found to have positive effects on the start-up success. Therefore, this study suggested theoretical and practical implications, as below, according to the results. Firstly, we must be aware of the importance of the entrepreneurship from the perspective of a successful establishment, and, prospective entrepreneurs, who are planning to the start-up, have to judge their entrepreneurship and, only then, make a decision. Secondly, we have to put our best efforts into developing more effective education on start-up, which deals with improving youth founder's entrepreneurship. Therefore, education institutions for start-up are needed in order to develop educational programs such as "Entrepreneurship Training Programs". Thirdly, we must recognize that the role of family is important because most entrepreneurship and psychological characteristics are formed in a person's childhood. Forth, the entrepreneur, themselves, must realize that they has to make an effort to improve their entrepreneurship. Lastly, youth founder's internal locus of control has to be enhanced. Thus, greater attention is required from both the entrepreneur themselves, and educational institutions for start-up.

This study has been conducted at a time when Korean government continues to extend support for youth startups as part of its policy to create jobs and the focus moves from career and employment to youth startups with a growing interest in the field of youth startups. Against this background, this study aims to identify difficulty factors of youth startups in areas besides the Seoul Metropolitan Area, seek ways to overcome difficulty factors, and propose policy implications. To this end, this study set five criteria and 25 sub-criteria to evaluate the difficulties of youth startups by reviewing previous studies and conducting literature review, and performing brainstorming method. The empirical analysis of the evaluation criteria was performed, using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method, on youths aged 19 to 39 in Gunsan area. The analysis results showed that the largest difficulty factors facing local youths include business model establishment, business administration and management, and startup funding in the criteria. As for sub-criteria, the largest difficulty factors are market information acquisition, technology commercialization, project feasibility, technology development, and new market pioneering in descending order. Local youths have much difficulty about the process of turning a business item into a product and commercializing it. According to a comparative analysis by gender, men were a relatively high difficulty in commercializing business models than women. men were a relatively high difficulty in commercializing business models than women. On the other hand, women were higher than men in all factors (management management, entrepreneurship, improvement of entrepreneurship system, and improvement of entrepreneurship awareness) except for factors affecting business model. In addition, the factors of entrepreneurship were found to be relatively different among young people (college students, prospective entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs). In conclusion, it was suggested that in order to revitalize youth entrepreneurship in the region, it is necessary to actively resolve the difficulties of business model commercialization rather than entrepreneurship funds. In addition, it is necessary to strategically support customized entrepreneurship support and situational administrative services because gender and hierarchical difficulties are different than general solutions. This study presented practical priorities and derivation methods for the entrepreneurship difficulties faced by local youth, and suggested measures and improvements for vitalizing local youth entrepreneurship in the future.
