This paper empirically analyzed the relationship between the characteristics of venture business founders and management performance, setting the management strategy as a parameter to provide a suggestion for the survival and development of venture companies that play an important role in the national economy and job creation. Previous studies in Korea have analyzed the relationship between the characteristics of business founders, management strategies and management performance in a single dimension. This paper, however, explained the business performance of a company from a multi-dimensional perspective while setting the characteristics of business founders as independent variables and setting the business strategy of the enterprise as a parameter. The first result of the analysis shows that the characteristics of venture business founders have a positive effect on business performance. In particular, among the characteristics of venture business founders, a progressive spirit has had the greatest impact on business performance. On the other hand, the influence of risk sensitivity was very weak. Second, the characteristics of venture business founders were found to have a positive effect on business strategy. In particular, innovation was an important variable that affected the technological innovation differentiation strategy, and a progressive spirit was the most influential factor in the marketing differentiation strategy. Third, management strategies of venture firms were found to have a positive effect on business performance. In particular, the technology innovation differentiation strategy has a greater impact on business performance than the marketing differentiation strategy. Fourth, it was revealed that management strategy partially has a mediated effect on the relationship between the characteristics of venture business founders and management performance. In other words, it was found that the characteristics of the founders have a direct impact on business performance but if it is linked to management strategy it has an indirect effect on business performance. The results of this study show that business performance improves when venture business founders' personal characteristics and the firms' management strategy are combined.

대다수의 창업 기업들이 창업 초기 단계에 만족할 만한 창업성과를 이루지 못하고 좌절하는 경우가 있기에 창업 기업의 창업 준비단계 및 초기 단계가 매우 중요하다. 이처럼 대부분의 초기 창업가들은 경험의 부족으로 인하여 창업성과를 내는 데에는 한계가 있다고 볼 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 기존의 창업 멘토링 선행연구와 차별성을 두어 코치와 피코치(창업가) 간의 협력관계를 통하여 창업코칭 활동으로 창업가의 의식전환을 매개로 창업성과에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 이를 위하여 창업가를 대상으로 자료를 수집, 실증 분석하였다. 본 연구결과는 향후 창업코칭 활동이 창업성과 향상을 위한 시사점을 제공할 뿐만 아니라 창업코칭 활동 연구 확산에도 기여할 수 있을 것이라고 판단된다.

산업 패러다임과 트랜드의 변화 속에서도 저성장, 고령화는 뉴 노말 시대의 가장 큰 문제점으로 대두되고 있다. 이에 따라 각자도생이 필요하며, 결국 창업이 대세인 시대가 되었다. 성공적인 창업을 위해서는 많은 준비와 실패 노하우의 축적이 필요하나 실패를 용납하지 않는 우리 사회분위기상 이는 쉽지 않다. 조사에 따르면 창업 장애요인으로 '창업실패 및 재기에 대한 두려움', '창업 준비부터 성공까지의 생계유지'가 많은 부분을 차지하고 있다. 이러한 장애요인을 줄이는 방법으로 Hybrid창업을 제시할 수 있으나 국내 많은 기업이 직장인의 겸직을 제한하는 탓에 Hybrid창업이 활성화되지 못하고 있고 관련 연구도 거의 없는 수준이다. 그러나 52시간 근무제로 직장인이 투잡(two-job)을 통한 수익창출 기회는 증가하였고, 고용불안과 은퇴이후를 고민하는 직장인들이 우회 창업하는 경우도 적지 않다. 이러한 Hybrid창업 현상은 조기은퇴, 고령화의 영향으로 계속 증가할 것으로 예상됨에 따라 관련 연구를 축적할 필요가 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 직장인의 Hybrid 창업의도에 미치는 영향요인을 탐색하는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 직장인의 창업가 특성, 창업역량, 경력지향성과 Hybrid창업의도간의 관계와, 직장인의 조직불안 인식의 조절효과를 검증하고자 한다.

As jobless growth became the new norm and the average life expectancy continues to increase, it is difficult to find quality jobs regardless of gender. In this situation, entrepreneurs who can take charge of creating quality jobs have begun to gain attention from governments. As a result, many startup support programs have been introduced and operated. In Korea, various government-sponsored startup support programs have been in operation since the late 2000s, and the number of startups has increased since. However, there are many cases where they are not able to maintain their business for a long time because such programs often lack expertise and experience. Mentoring programs for startup founders is becoming an attractive solution to these problems. However, when we look at the responses of entrepreneurs, they found the mentoring program beneficial only when it was well planned and operated. Otherwise, they found the program unhelpful. Although there are many startup mentoring programs in various fields, there is little research on whether customized mentoring that matches the characteristics of startups and entrepreneurs are effective. In this study, we study the effects of startup mentoring on mentoring satisfaction. Our model also intends to identify the moderating effects of entrepreneurs' characteristics and provide guidance to future startup mentoring.

현재 글로벌 환경은 빠르게 변화하는 4차 산업혁명의 도래로 산업구조는 물론 사회경제 전반에 걸쳐 거대한 변화에 직면하고 있으며, 미래에 대한 불확실성이 깊어져서 이에 대한 빠른 대응이 필요한 시대가 되었다. 또한 4차 산업의 주축인 디지털 혁명과 코로나 19 팬데믹 사태로 변화의 가속화가 진행되면서 이러한 변화에 얼마나 신속하게 대응하느냐가 생존과 성장의 핵심이 되었다. 본 연구는 기존의 선행 문헌연구를 바탕으로 기술기반 창업기업의 창업가 역량과 기업성과 간의 인과관계를 통합적으로 규명하는 것을 목적으로, 불확실한 경제 상황 속에서 기술창업과 창업가 역량의 중요성을 인식하여 기업성과에 영향을 주는 요소를 분석하고자 한다. 이와 같은 목적을 달성하기 위하여 창업가 역량을 독립변수로 하고, 정부지원활용을 매개로, 창업가 일반적 특성(업종, 업력, 창업경험, 특허보유, CTO인력보유 여부 등)을 조절변수로 하여 기업성과에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구모형을 설정하였다. 연구모형 검증을 위해 대전 대구 지역의 연구개발특구, 산업기술단지, 첨단산업단지, 창업보육센터, 테크노파크등, 기술집접화시설에 입주해 있는 217개 기업을 대상으로 온 오프라인 방식의 설문조사를 실시하였다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of personal characteristics and social entrepreneurship on social entrepreneurship intention, and to determine whether the moderating effect of gender influences on the relationship between personal characteristics and social entrepreneurship. In order to achieve these research objectives, the personal characteristics affecting social entrepreneurship were identified with moral obligation, self-efficacy, and emotional intelligence. Also, prior studies on social entrepreneurship and social enterprise entrepreneurship intention were reviewed. As a result of the study, we find that moral obligation, self-efficacy, and emotional intelligence all had a positive effect on social entrepreneurship. Second, social entrepreneurship had a positive effect on social enterprise entrepreneurship intentions. Third, analyzing the moderating effect of men and women in the relationship between personal characteristics and social entrepreneurship, it was found that there was a difference in the value of the path coefficient representing the relationship between moral obligation and social entrepreneurship. However, there was no moderating effect in the relationship between self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and social entrepreneurship by gender. Therefore, this study is expected to serve as a reference for people who want to start a social enterprise in the future to verify their characteristics and use them as a way to improve their social entrepreneurship.
