This study tried to understand the effect of the perceived value and perceived risks of start-up on the entrepreneurial intentions of college students majoring in the arts, and analyzed the difference between the start-up experience of family and the degree of entrepreneurial intention according to the sub-major. Studies have shown that the perceived value of a startup has a significant impact on the intention of starting a business, and among the perceived risk factors of a startup, financial risk has a significant impact on the intention to start a business, but social risk factors and career risk factors do not have a significant impact. In addition, among the sub-majors in the art department, the craft major was found to have a higher entrepreneurial intention than other majors, and college students who indirectly experienced the start-up of their family had higher entrepreneurial intentions than college students who did not, and the presence or absence of the entrepreneurial experience of family had a modulating effect in the relationship between the perceived value and the perceived risks on the entrepreneurial intention.

It is very meaningful to research on how people's perception on equality and psychology on class movement can have effect on the entrepreneurial intention at the present time when the Korean Government persuades people to create new businesses and the polarization between the rich and the poor gets severe. Accordingly, in this study, an empirical analysis was conducted to find out how the proportional equality acceptance level can affect the entrepreneurial intention via the upward mobility expectation by considering the proportionate equality acceptance level as independent variable, upward mobility expectation as a medium variable and the entrepreneurial intention as a dependent variable and then the hypothesis was tested through regression analysis. The results are as follows. First, it was found that the proportional equality acceptance level over the results makes a positive (+) effect on the entrepreneurial intention and the upward mobility expectation. On the other hand, it was found that proportional equality acceptance level over opportunity does not make any significant effect on each of entrepreneurial intention and upward mobility expectation. Second, it was found that the upward mobility expectation makes the positive (+) effect on the entrepreneurial intention. Third, it was found that the proportional equality acceptance level over opportunity and equality acceptance level over the results makes a positive (+) effect on the entrepreneurial intention through upward mobility expectation as a medium, thus showing the partial effect. This study has critical implications as it is an empirical analysis for finding out how the individual's level of perceiving equality makes an effect on entrepreneurial intention and testing the upward mobility expectation's mediating effect, thus reflecting the current society's situation.

본 연구는 '의도(Intention)는 행동을 예측할 수 있다'는 사회 심리학자들의 연구에 근간을 두고 사회적 기업가적 의도(Social Entrepreneurial Intention)에 영향을 미치는 요소들이 무엇인지를 규명하고자 하였다. 그동안 기업가적 의도(Entrepreneurial Intention)에 대한 많은 연구들에서 Ajzen의 계획된 행동이론(Theory of Planned Behavior: TPB)과 Shapero의 기업가정신행동모델(Shapero's Model of the Entrepreneurial Event: SEE)에 근간하여 이루어졌다. 이러한 연구에 기반하여 본 연구는 사회적 기업가정신 맥락에서 사회적 공감(Compassion), 도덕적 의무감(Moral Obligation), 사회적 지지에 대한 인식(Perceived Social Support)이 사회적 기업가적 의도에 영향을 미치는 요소임을 밝히고자 하였다. 본 연구는 자발적으로 사회적 기업가정신 및 기업가정신 과목 수강을 선택한 대학생 271명을 대상으로 하였으며 회귀분석을 통해 가설검증을 하였다. 공감능력(인지적 공감, 정서적 공감, 사회문제 공감)과 주관적 규범으로의 도덕적 의무감은 사회적 기업가적 의도에 영향을 미치며, 외부 환경에 대한 인식 즉 사회적 지지에 대한 인식의 정도에 따라 사회적 기업가적 의도는 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 기존의 사회적 기업가정신에 영향을 미치는 요소들을 규명하는 연구들이 주로 기존 기업가정신 연구에서 사용된 변수를 사용함으로써 사회적 기업가정신의 특성을 잘 설명하지 못한다는 한계를 가지고 있었다. 본 연구는 공감, 도덕적 의무감, 사회적 지지에 대한 인식이 의도(Intention)에 영향요소임을 밝힘으로써 사회적 기업가적 의도 연구 분야에 기여했다고 볼 수 있다. 그러나 사회적 기업가적 의도를 파악하는데 있어서 학생들만을 대상으로 한 것은 본 연구의 한계점이라고 할 수 있다.

This study empirically analyzed how the elements of entrepreneurship and the fear of entrepreneurial failure influence entrepreneurial intention with each other in a situation that encourages startups. In particular, the moderating effect of fear of entrepreneurial failure was verified by dividing the fear of entrepreneurial failure into three sub-variables: fear of financial loss, fear of psychological loss, and fear of career loss. As a result, it was found that proactiveness and risk-taking had a positive effect on entrepreneurial intention, but innovativeness did not. Fear of entrepreneurial failure(all of sub-variables) was found to have no significantly moderating effect on the relationship between entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial intention. Therefore it seemed to have a negative effect as a independent variable. However, considering the regression coefficient(β) is positive or negative depending on the interaction terms of the sub-variables of fear of entrepreneurial failure and the entrepreneurship, it could be inferred that the moderating effect could be positive or negative. Based on this research results, a sophisticated entrepreneurship education program to inspire entrepreneurship and lower the fear of failure is needed in order to promote startups. And at the same time, a social safety net construction plan to reduce the fear of entrepreneurial failure needs to be prepared.

This study aims to clarify factors having effect on the turnover and entrepreneurial intention of financial institution workers. Particularly, this study analyzed the effect of job satisfaction, job insecurity, retirement expectation and retirement preparation activities. As research subjects, this study selected financial institution workers residing in Seoul and the capital area and used a total of 508 samples as analysis data. This study analyzed job satisfaction, job insecurity, retirement expectation and retirement preparation activities as factors having effect on the turnover and entrepreneurial intention of financial institution workers. The research results can be summarized as follows; Firstly, all the factors of job satisfaction had negative (-) effect on their turnover intention, and compensation satisfaction and interpersonal relation satisfaction also had negative (-) effect on their entrepreneurial intention. Secondly, since job insecurity had positive (+) effect on their turnover intention and entrepreneurial intentions, the more insecure their jobs became, the more their turnover and entrepreneurial intention increased. Thirdly, in the retirement expectation, forced frustration and continuation had positive (+) effect on their turnover intention, and forced frustration, new start and continuation also had positive (+) effect on their entrepreneurial intention. Fourthly, in the retirement preparation activity, entrepreneurial preparation, social preparation and physical preparation of retirement preparation activity had positive (+) effect on their turnover intention, but economical preparation had negative (-) effect on their turnover intention, while entrepreneurial preparation had positive (+) effect on their entrepreneurial intention. In other words, as they prepare business start-up more for retirement, their turnover and entrepreneurial intentions increase more. Although they receive higher wages than other workers in different job fields as financial institution workers, they showed significant results about turnover and entrepreneurial intentions, which indicates that job satisfaction, job insecurity, retirement expectation and preparation activities function as important variables in the relation with their turnover and entrepreneurial intentions. Such research results imply that it is necessary to develop various educational programs and turnover and business start-up support programs so that financial institution workers may have better understanding of both success and failure cases when they actually work on business start-ups.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the elderly's entrepreneurial intentions in the hotel and tourism sector in Ma'anshan City, Eastern China. The researcher used an online survey of older people aged 50 to 64 in a tourism destination that is approaching an aging society stage to see if the Theory of Planned Behavior can explain the entrepreneurial ambitions of the elderly in the hospitality and tourism industry. There were 391 questionnaires gathered in all, 367 of which were valid. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The study reveals that personal attitudes toward entrepreneurial behavior and perceived behavior control are highly influenced by societal norms. It also shows that personal attitude and perceived behavior control are antecedents of the elderly's entrepreneurial intent in this particular industry. This research adds to the research on geriatric entrepreneurship in hospitality and tourism, as well as human resource development for seniors in China, helping to alleviate the country's aging demographic concerns.
