창업을 촉진하기 위해 중소벤처기업부를 중심으로 다양한 창업지원 사업을 시행하고 있고, 매년 창업지원 사업이 증가하고 있다. 창업지원 사업의 가장 중요한 역할은 예비창업자 또는 창업기업의 성공적인 사업화를 지원하고 성공률 제고를 위해 자금·교육·투자·네트워크 등을 지원하는 일이다. 그 역할을 수행하기 위해서는 전담 조직과 전담 인력이 필요하다. 현재까지는 창업보육센터와 창업보육 매니저에 관한 연구는 많이 이루어지고 있지만, 창업지원단의 역할과 창업지원 매니저에 관한 연구는 많이 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구는 창업지원 매니저의 역량 특성이 조직몰입과 업무성과에 미치는 영향을 연구하고자 한다. 창업지원 사업의 규모 확대와 역할변화에 따르는 중소벤처기업부에서 요구하는 창업지원 매니저의 역량들을 도출해보고, 역량 강화를 위한 방안을 모색하고 제안하고자 한다.

This article investigates the impact of business incubator's support service and manager's capabilities on the start-up economic performance. BI's support services consist of physical infra, management/legal service, networking service, financial service, technical service, and education/training service. The results show that most BI's support services(except education/training service) have a positive effect on the start-up economic performance. This study also analyzes the gap between the importance and the satisfaction of BI's services. The results show that the satisfaction of BI's services is much lower than the importance. It can be explained that the start-ups' expectations are not able to meet. In conclusion, BI's services have a major impact on the start-up economic performance, but actually they didn't meet the expectation of the start-ups. In the future, the quality level of BI's services and manager's capabilities needs to be improved. The improvement will have a positive effect on the survival and growth of the startups.

Representative domestic start-up support organizations include the Business Incubator(BI), Korea Institute of Startup & Entrepreneurship Development(KISED), Techno Park(TP), and Center of Creative Economy Innovation(CCEI), and there are about 260 Business incubator nationwide. The Business incubator is operated by universities, research institutes, and private foundations or associations. The organization consists of the center director and the incubating professionals (hereinafter referred to as "manager"), etc., and performs tasks such as center operation management and incubation support services for tenant companies. Until now, research on the operation of Business Incubator has been mainly focused on the performance of tenant companies. Studies on whether the manager's competency characteristics directly or indirectly affect the performance of the tenant companies through psychological mediators such as self-efficacy and organizational commitment were very scarce. The purpose of this study is to explore various factors influencing organizational commitment and job performance by the competence characteristics of Business incubator managers, and to explain the causal relationship among those factors. In particular, the difference in perception was investigated by a manager's survey that influences organizational commitment and work performance at the Business incubator. Through this, we intend to present practical implications for the role of managers in the operation of Business incubators. This study is an exploratory study, and the subject of the study was a survey of about 600 managers working at Business incubator nationwide, of which 116 responses were analyzed. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, and reliability. Structural equation model analysis was performed for hypothesis tests. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the cognitive characteristics of the Business incubator manager, communication, and situational response as the behavioral characteristics had a positive effect on the manager's self-efficacy, and the behavioral characteristics had a greater effect on the self-efficacy. It was also found that the manager's cognitive and behavioral characteristics, and self-efficacy had a positive effect on organizational commitment and work performance. In particular, a manager's self-efficacy has a positive effect on organizational commitment and work performance. This result showed that the manager's competency characteristics increase the manager's self-efficacy as a mediating factor rather than directly affecting organizational commitment and work performance. This study explains that the manager's competency characteristics are transferred to organizational commitment and work performance. The results of the study are expected to reflect the job standard of the National Competency Standards (NCS) and basic vocational competency to the job competency of managers, and it also provides a guideline for the effective business incubator operation in terms of human resource management. In practice, it is expected that the results of the study can reflect the vocational basic skills of the Business Incubator manager's job competency in the National Competency Standards(NCS) section, and suggest directions for the operation of the Business Incubator and the manager's education and training.

This policy is brought not only to come up with the previous policy defects of creating less creative starts-up despite that government has put die-hard efforts, such as big chunk of budget dumping and policy preference, to promote high-tech starts-up since the year of 1997, but also to found right momentum of shifting entrepreneurship policy paradigm from government-direct to entrepreneur into indirect via utilizing the market forces. In particular, this policy puts a highlight on promoting angel investment, representing unfolding red carpets for creative economy. However, this policy confront critical fatal flaws such as a serious lacks of business angels which carry out the core function of government policy. In worse off, business angels cannot be raised up in short term period by taking other practical entrepreneurship ecosystem cases. As alternative, this paper propose the raising-up over entrepreneurship facilitators with having angel investing potentials in short term. In specific, this paper suggest the training methodology over the previous BI manager, passive simple angel investors, and consultants in entrepreneurship for embedding entrepreneurship facilitators. This paper carries four different specific studies. First, this paper implement literature review for entrepreneurship policy with respect to evaluating the previous entrepreneurship policies and making a diagnosis over its consequences. Second, it carries theoretical literature reviews relating to Korean angel investment and business incubation. Third, it proposes the concept of entrepreneurship facilitators.

최근 들어 고용없는 성장 및 청년 실업율이 높아지면서 기술을 기반으로 한 창업의 산실인 창업보육센터(Business Incubator : BI)의 역할이 주목을 받고 있다. 이와 더불어 이에 대한 연구들로서 BI의 효율적인 운영과 성과측면에도 많은 연구들이 이루어져 왔다. 국내외 선행연구들은 크게 BI의 지원서비스유형 및 정도가 입주기업의 성과에 미치는 영향 과 입주 기업의 특성유형 및 정도가 성과에 미치는 영향으로 대분된다. 즉 BI의 성공요소들(Critical Success Factors), BI의 지원서비스, BI 내부조직 등과 BI 성과와의 상관관계분석 등에 초점이 맞추어 졌다. 또한 입주기업들이 BI 입주시 지니고 있는 잠재적인 역량 즉, 사업아이템 경쟁력이나 CEO역량, 기술 사업화 역량들이 기업들의 사업화성공률 향상과 BI의 성과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 BI의 성과에 영향을 미치는 업무시스템 관여정도와 매니저의 역량에 대한 연구는 미흡한 측면이 있었다. 따라서 본 연구는 이러한 문제들을 연구하기 위하여 첫째, BI가 제공하는 보육서비스 특성과 이러한 특성들이 BI성과에 영향을 미치는 상관관계를 분석하고 둘째, BI의 업무역량이 보육지원서비스와 BI 성과에 미치는 조절효과를 분석하고자 하였다.

본 연구는 창업보육센터 입주기업을 대상으로 지원서비스가 성장단계별로 차이가 있을 것이라는 가정과 입주기업이 느끼는 만족도와 그에 따른 경영성과에 영향을 미칠 것이라는 가정 하에 입주기업의 니즈(needs)를 반영한 성장단계별 차별화된 효과적 지원서비스로 입주기업의 만족도와 경영성과를 높임으로써 창업성공률을 제고하기 위한 이론적 기여와 정책적 시사점을 제시하는 데 목적이 있다. 본 연구의 검증을 위하여 가설1 성장단계별 지원서비스는 정(+)의 유의한 차이가 있을 것이다, 가설2 성장단계별 만족도는 정(+)의 유의한 차이가 있을 것이다, 가설3 성장단계별 경영성과는 정(+)의 유의한 차이가 있을 것이다를 ANOVA 분석을 실시하였고, 가설4 지원서비스가 경영성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미칠 것이다, 가설5 지원서비스가 만족도에 정(+)의 영향을 미칠 것이다, 가설6 만족도가 경영성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미칠 것이다는 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 선행연구와 같이 지원서비스는 입주기업의 경영성과와 만족도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 창업보육센터의 성장단계별 지원서비스가 서비스의 만족도와 경영성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치고 있는지를 중소기업청 지정 창업보육센터 입주기업 174개를 표본으로 SPSS 22.0을 이용하여 검증하였다. 본 연구에서 실증분석을 통하여 얻은 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째 성장단계별 지원서비스의 차이에 대한 차이분석 결과 정(+)의 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 성장단계별 만족도의 차이는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났으며 성장단계별 경영성과의 차이 중 투자유치는 정(+)의 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 창업보육센터에서 제공하는 지원서비스가 입주기업의 경영성과와 만족도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 입주기업의 만족도도 경영성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결과를 종합해보면 창업보육센터의 지원서비스가 아직도 행정지원과 자금지원 등에만 국한되어 지원되고 있는 것으로 나타나 입주기업의 성장단계에 적합한 다양한 서비스의 제공이 필요함을 주지시켜 주고 있다. 또한, 성장단계별 입주기업의 만족도는 매출증가와 고용증가로 이어졌지만 아직 투자유치에는 크게 영향을 미치지 못하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 따라서 모든 입주기업에게 획일적인 지원서비스가 아닌 차별화된 지원서비스가 필요하며, 이를 위하여 창업보육센터 매니저들이 엑셀러레이터로서의 역할을 하기 위한 창업보육역량 고도화가 필요하고, 창업보육사업은 기업의 성장단계와 관련이 있으므로 입주기업의 성장단계 및 창업보육센터의 지원하는 역할과 기능에 따른 창업보육모델의 진화를 고려한 3세대, 4세대 보육모델로서의 발전된 운영정책 수립이 요구된다.
