Although the importance of starting a business is being emphasized, it is not easy for a start-up to survive. Therefore, it is necessary to come up with a plan to strengthen startup satisfaction and improve the survival rate of startup companies. In this study, we examined the impact of start-up motivation, start-up capabilities, and start-up passion of start-up companies on start-up satisfaction, as well as the moderating effect according to the founding type of general start-up companies and startups. Entrepreneurship motivation was divided into self-actualization motivation and pro-social motivation. Entrepreneurship capabilities were divided into marketing capabilities and experience capabilities. Entrepreneurship passion was divided into harmonious passion and obsessive passion. Empirical analysis was conducted by receiving surveys from 361 managers of general and startup companies within 7 years of founding their businesses online and offline. As a result, self-actualization motivation, pro-social motivation, marketing competency, experiential competency, and harmonious passion had a significant positive (+) effect on startup satisfaction. However, obsessive passion did not have a significant effect. In addition, the magnitude of influence on startup satisfaction appeared in the following order: harmonious passion, marketing competency, self-actualization motivation, pro-social motivation, and experiential competency. The moderating effect according to the type of founding of general start-ups and startups was found in pro-social motivation, experience competency, and passion for harmony. However, there was no significant moderating effect between self-actualization motivation, marketing competency, obsessive passion, and entrepreneurship satisfaction.

최근 세계적인 경제성장률의 둔화에 따른 청년층의 취업난이 공통적인 문제로 주목받고 있다. 우리나라의 경우 청년 고용률은 OECD국가의 2019년 평균 고용률에 비해 10%이상의 낮은 수준으로 나타나 청년층 취업난의 심각한 수준을 나타내고 있다. 이에 대한 해법으로 청년 창업이 오랜 기간 동안 장려되고 있으며, 대학을 중심으로 창업교육이 이루어지며 대중적인 교육으로 자리매김하고 있다. 대학에서의 창업교육의 효과 및 필요성을 확인하는 다양한 연구가 활발하게 일어나고 있음에도 창업에 대한 인식과 창업률은 생계형 창업이 주를 이루고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 창업에 대한 관심을 가지는 순간부터 창업 이후에도 직면하게 되는 불확실한 현실과 이를 둘러싼 환경적 난류를 해결해 나갈 수 있는 감정적 관점에서의 창업교육의 효과성을 확인하고자 한다. 감정요소 중에서는 창업열정과 즉흥성을 매개효과로 창업의도에 미치는 창업교육의 영향을 확인하고자 하였다.

많은 사람들은 미래에 발생할 일에 대한 결정을 내리기 전 수 많은 생각과 심리적 변화를 겪게 된다. 특히 우리 삶에서 자신의 직업과 같은 경제적 및 사회적 측면에 대한 고려와 함께 중요한 선택을 하게 되는 상황에서 그 선택은 미래에 경험하게 될 후회의 정도에 따라 현재의 행동이 결정된다. 이러한 심리적 기제는 이미 심리학과 마케팅 분야에서는 감정 및 정서적 요인들이 의사결정 과정에 직접적이고 중요한 영향을 미친다는 사실에 공감하며 관련 연구들이 활발히 이루어져 왔다. 이처럼 창업 분야에서도 예비창업가들이 창업을 결정하기 위한 중요한 심리적 요인으로 후회라는 감정이 직접적으로 영향을 미치는지 확인할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 많은 창업가들의 의사결정에서 발생되는 예상되는 후회(anticipated regret)가 창업 행동(entrepreneurial behavior)에 영향을 미치는 가를 살펴보고자 하였다. 그리고 이와 아울러 창업가의 예상되는 후회가 창업 행동에 영향을 미칠 때, 창업가의 자기 충족적 예언(self fulfilling prophecy)과 창업가적 열정(entrepreneurial passion)의 수준이 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 한다. 이를 위해 창업가의 예상되는 후회와 목표지향성, 그리고 창업가적 열정에 대한 선행연구를 검토함으로써 가설을 설정하였다. 그리고 이를 검증하기 위해 창업가 145명을 대상으로 두 차례에 걸쳐 설문을 실시하여 연구를 진행하였다.

Entrepreneurs recognize that their passion was an important factor in driving successful entrepreneurship. However, they were often unaware of the impact that third-party passions related to startups have on them. Therefore, in this study, it was verified whether the accelerator incubation program had an effective effect on portfolios. At this time, I tried to do an empirical analysis focusing on how the third-party accelerator entrepreneur passion affects the entrepreneurial performance of portfolios. To this end, a survey was conducted on representatives of portfolios across the country who completed the accelerator incubation program, and empirical testing was conducted based on 330 valid ones. As a result of empirical analysis, it was confirmed that mentoring and networking among accelerator incubation programs had a positive (+) effect on entrepreneurial performance of portfolios. On the other hand, education and seed investment in the accelerator program did not significantly affect the entrepreneurial performance of portfolios. On the other hand, it was tested that accelerator entrepreneur passion significantly moderated both the incubation program elements (education, mentoring, network, seed investment) and the entrepreneurial performance of portfolios. The results of this study are meaningful in that they reveal that the passion of accelerator entrepreneurs is an important lynchpin of incubation programs and the key to success in startups. In addition, this study suggests that it is important for startups to go one step further from seed investment and properly identify the accelerator entrepreneur and his passion, the key man of accelerators.

In a workplace, workers exhaust their resources due to workplace adversity or acquire resources through job-related passion. The purpose of this study is to verify the factors that affect the conversion of workers to entrepreneurs and through what paths entrepreneurial intention is generated. To this end, the effects of workplace adversity and job-related passion on entrepreneurial intention were explored with workers in Korea. Also, by empirically analyzing the effects of workplace adversity and job-related passion on entrepreneurial intention through the mediation of job-related creativity, this author attempted to derive the factors and implications associated with the conversion of workers to entrepreneurs. Analyzing 333 workers' data acquired through online surveys with the statistical packages of SPSS and AMOS, this study has gained the following results. First, workplace adversity is found to have positive(+) effects on entrepreneurial intention. This implies that workplace adversity that is negatively regarded is rather a crucial variable that increases entrepreneurial intention. Second, workplace adversity has positive(+) effects on job-related creativity. It means that job-related creativity is an effective factor to overcome workplace adversity. Third, job-related passion is found to have positive(+) effects on entrepreneurial intention. The passion to concentrate on the resources secured is an important factor to elevate entrepreneurial intention. Fourth, job-related passion is verified to have positive(+) effects on job-related creativity. It implies that creative methods can be effective in achieving the goal. Fifth, job-related creativity is found to have positive(+) effects on entrepreneurial intention. Creativity is an intention or action that precedes starting up a business, and it is judged that high job-related creativity reflects high expectation about the possibility of success in starting up a business. Sixth, job-related creativity is found to have mediating effects in correlation between workplace adversity and entrepreneurial intention. Seventh, job-related creativity is found to have mediating effects in correlation between job-related passion and entrepreneurial intention. This means that job-related creativity is an effective factor to alleviate the adversity of workers and increase job-related passion in the process of becoming entrepreneurs. Academically, there were few previous studies related to the adversity of workers in Korea. As this study targets office workers, it can be said that it is a differentiated study extending the range of subjects. Also, practically, it has been learned that negative workplace adversity, too, is an important variable that affect entrepreneurial intention positively. This is practically meaningful in terms of office workers' career management because even in adverse situations that are negative, starting up a business through work experiences may work as an alternative.

젊은 감각과 순수한 열정이 요구되는 시대이기 때문일까. 최근 창업하는 벤처 대표들은 다들 젊다. 나이는 숫자에 불과하다고 창업한지 벌써 18년을 훌쩍 넘긴 SWP신우전자 허훈 대표는‘여전히’젊다. 실제 나이보다 훨씬 젊어보인다는 것은‘열정적’이라는 것과 통할 수 있다. ‘나는 반드시 성공할 수밖에 없다’고 수없이 되뇌어온 그의 신념이 현재의 SWP신우전자를 낳았다.
