This study examines the job and life satisfactions of the self-employed. It uses the Korean Labour and Income Panel Study(KLIPS, hereafter) data for 1998 and 2004. We examine the phases of satisfaction and what variables influence satisfaction for both years and compare the results in order to see what changed between the two regimes. We make use of k-means clustering to divide self-employed into similar degrees of satisfaction. As a result, we are able to classify the self-employed into three groups(low, medium and high) both for the two regimes. High groups consists of relatively younger, well-educated, low working dates, higher proportion of woman than other groups. As a result of regression analysis, we have some evidence that women are more satisfied than men for job satisfaction and that the existence of income is more important than the amount of income for life satisfaction. The age, education, satisfaction for working place, and health are significant to both satisfactions.

Thus this study looked into existing literature focusing on generalities, and after literature studies, hypothesis was set up to solve the problems in the study. According to literature examination, self employed consulting was found to be comprised of four areas: awareness, reliability, satisfaction, and utilization, while consulting could be divided into four customer perspectives: customer, financial, internal processing, and learning and growth. An empirical study was conducted to verify the causal relationship between these causes, and we describe the findings of the study on the business management performance pursuant to self employed business consulting as follows: In this study, we examine an overall business management performance measurement by adopting the four variables of self employed business consulting, and enhance the chance of success by having systematic access to business establishment. In conclusion, in order to increase the success rate of the small business start-up, it is important to choose such items that fit the founder's experience and the characteristics of the business zone, and a successful founding of a business will be accomplished only when sufficient funding is combined with successful running, therefore, most importantly, striking a balance between the factors should start with the founder as the center, and there must be professional business knowledge and technical assistance by the business start-up support agency.

신(新)산업 발굴 및 신(新)고용창출을 위한 대안으로 창업정책이 확대 및 확산되어 지고 있다. 이러한 시대적 상황 속에서 창업의 성공을 높이기 위한 교육이나 연구가 계속 되고 있다. 이를 위해서는 직업을 선택하거나 새로이 창업을 하고 조직에서 각자의 역할을 진행하는 과정에 개개인이 타고나고 특성들에 대한 고민이 함께 되어야한다. 경제성장 및 정량적 고용창출의 목적을 넘어 창업가들이 직업적 가치를 위한 자아실현 관점에서 창업가 육성을 고민해야 할 시점이 될 것이다. 이러한 만족스러운 직업을 갖게 하는 것이 진정한 의미에서의 국가의 역할이라 할 수 있을 것이다. 즉, 창업가 육성에 관한 관점을 소유권과 시장보호 및 개척의 관점을 넘어 국민의 생애 만족도를 높이기 위한 창업교육과 정책에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 창업 시 만족도와 성과에 영향을 줄 수 있는 창업가의 개인적 특성 중 성격 5요인(BIG5)을 중심으로 기업가정신과 성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴봄으로서 개인의 어떠한 특성이 주요하게 작용하는지 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위해 국내 창업의 다수를 차지하고 있으면서도 어려움을 겪고 있는 소상공인 중 외식업, 의류업, 커피전문점, 미용업 등의 자영업자를 대상으로 본 연구를 진행하였다. 연구를 통해 창업성과를 높이기 위해 성격 5요인이 모두 중요하게 작용함을 확인할 수 있었다. 개방성과 친화성을 바탕으로 만족도를 높은 창업자를 육성하고 외향성과 성실성을 높인다면 실질적인 재무성과로 연결시킨다면 창업의 성공을 높일 수 있을 것이다. 앞으로 창업교육과 정책 방향의 토대를 마련하기 위한 창업자 개인의 특성에 관한 다양한 연구가 시도되어야 할 것이다.

국내 베이비붐 세대 은퇴가 본격화하며 국내 시니어들의 은퇴후 평생직업 대안에 대한 수요가 폭증하며 창업이 그 대안으로 부상하였지만 주로 자영업창업 중심이어서 효과적인 대안이 되지못하고 있는 현실이다. 본 논문은 시니어들이 노후 대책으로 재대로 된 창업을 준비하도록 창업교육을 통한 만족도 제고를 통해 창업기회를 인식하는 방안을 모색하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 시니어의 노후준비도와 창업교육만족도가 자기효능감과 창업기회인식에 미치는 영향에 관한 실증 연구로서 각 변인에 대한 관계를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 첫째, 시니어의 노후준비도가 자기효능감과 창업기회인식에 미치는 영향관계와 둘째, 창업교육만족도가 시니어의 자기효능감과 창업기회인식에 미치는 영향을 연구한다. 가설검증 결과로 첫째, 시니어의 노후준비도는 하위 변위에 따라 차이는 있을 수 있으나 시니어의 자기효능감과 창업기회인식에 영향을 미치는 것으로 예상된다. 둘째, 시니어의 창업교육만족도가 자기효능감에는 영향을 미치나 셋째, 시니어의 창업교육만족도가 창업기회인식에는 영향을 미치지 안는 것으로 예상된다. 본 논문은 시니어 창업에 영향을 주는 요인 중 하나로 노후준비도를 살펴봄으로써 시니어가 가진 노후준비 특성이 창업기회인식에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 검정했다는 점에서 의미가 있다. 또한 시니어의 창업 활성화 및 노동력 활용 방안으로 창업교육의 확대 필요성과 시니어 창업 교육 프로그램의 확대 등 창업을 준비할 수 있는 사회 분위기와 제도적 지원 및 프로그램 설계 필요성을 시사한다.

A total of 1,600 questionnaires were distributed and retrieved. And the final results were obtained through regression analysis. The empirical results show that the entrepreneurial capability index was related to the entrepreneurial performances. In particular, job satisfaction was found to be significant, but some significant results were found in the detailed indicators of financial aspect, and the significance was confirmed in terms of the necessity of further research among the entrepreneurial competency indicators composed of single indicators. From the policy point of view, it was suggested that entrepreneurial capability index can be a good tool to increase the entrepreneurial performance of the entrepreneur. In particular, it was confirmed that personal characteristics, entrepreneurial knowledge, entrepreneurial execution capacity, and external environment items were closely related to job satisfaction among measured competency indicators.
