In this study, we examined how the self-efficacies of North Korean defectors affect their adaptation to South Korean social culture. To this end, 209 North Korean defectors living in Seoul, Incheon, Wonju, or Ansan were surveyed. The results obtained showed shorter residence in South Korea and age were associated with greater fear of South Korean society and awareness of language and cultural differences. On the other hand, age and duration of residence were not found to affect relations between social adaptation and perceptions of low social status, discrimination, or prejudice by defectors, which suggests defectors often live in South Korea for a considerable time without overcoming perceptions of discrimination or prejudice. The factor that most influenced adaptation to social culture was self-efficacy, which affected not only socio-cultural adaptation but also self-sufficiency and the ability to promote oneself, which is essential for economic adaptation in South Korean society.

경기 침체와 더불어 고용 불안, 그에 따른 사회의 혼란 속에서 국가의 성장 동력의 대안 중 하나로 창업 활성화의 요구가 높아지고 있다. 우리나라를 비롯한 많은 국가에서 창업 활성화를 중장기 목표로 설정하고 다방면으로 노력하고 있다. 이에 따라 창업의도를 높일 수 있는 요인에 대한 연구가 진행되어 왔고, 특히 자기효능감과 창업기회인식 등의 개인적 역량 요소가 창업의도를 높인다는 연구 결과들이 지속적으로 제시되고 있다. 이러한 창업의도를 높일 수 있는 자기효능감, 창업기회인식을 고취시키기 위해 학계의 연구활동 뿐 아니라 정부의 정책적 접근 또한 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 창업교육 활성화부터 사회적 환경 조성을 위한 창업 롤모델 활용, 미디어를 통한 창업 활동 홍보 등 긍정적인 창업 경험을 공유하도록 하기 위한 연구 역시 계속되고 있다. 그러나 개인적 역량 요소와 사회적 환경 조성 외에 문화적 특성이 창업의도에 영향을 미치는지에 대한 연구는 부족하였다. 본 연구는 문화적 특성이 창업의도를 높일 수 있는 요인으로 개인적 역량 요소와 사회적 환경 조성과 함께 의미가 있을 것이라는 물음에서 시작하였다. 가설 검증을 위하여 SPSS 26버전을 활용하여 로지스틱 회귀분석 하였고 GEM KOREA의 2017년 데이터를 분석하였으며, 자기효능감과 창업기회인식은 창업의도에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 기존 연구 동일한 결과가 나왔다. 본 연구의 특징은 문화적 특성을 집단주의와 관계주의로 구분하여 자기효능감, 창업기회인식과 창업의도에 영향을 미치는 과정에서의 조절효과를 검증하였다는 것이다. 문화적 특성 중 집단주의 특성은 유의하지 않았으나 관계주의 특성이 유의하여 조절효과를 가진다는 결과를 얻어냈다. 이는 국가에 새로운 성장 동력이 필요한 상황에서 창업의도가 없거나 낮은 개인들도 관계주의 특성을 활용하여 창업의도를 높일 수 있다는 연구 결론으로 이어진다. 지금까지 알려진 바와 달리 한국은 집단주의 보다 관계주의가 강하기 때문에 관계주의 문화 특성을 고려하여 선배 창업가 또는 로컬 창업가들과의 관계를 만들고 유지할 수 있도록 하는 등의 정책을 수립할 필요가 있다는 것을 시사한다. 하지만 이미 설계된 GEM 데이터를 활용하였다는 점, 문화적 특성이 각기 다른 국가들과의 비교연구가 필요하다는 점 등은 본 연구의 한계라고 할 수 있다.

This study explores how married migrant women in Korea create social capital in their everyday lives, and how their social capital influences cultural acculturation. This study performs a structural equation model, using two-year data of female migrant women. The results suggest that network elements, including official supports from public organizations and unofficial supports from personal ties, contribute to creation of perceptual elements, including social trust, community involvement and relations. Also, these two elements of social capital have positive impact on acculturation of married migrant women in Korea. The longitudinal analysis provides a basic understanding of the creation of social capital and the relationship between social capital and acculturation of married migrant women and also clearly suggests the importance of public supports rather than personal supports from family or friends.
