Abstract

Crowdfunding is a novel method for funding from many individuals using web based platform often in return for products or equity. It allows individual entrepreneurs to create diverse products and services. This thesis elaborates a theoretical foundation for identifying the factors that must have motivated the funders in sponsoring crowdfunding projects. Based on the motivation theory, the proposed research model is constructed with intrinsic and extrinsic motivations from relevant literatures. We also examined how different crowdfunding modes ('Keeping It All' and 'All or Nothing') moderate the proposed research model. Based on the survey from various crowdfunding service providers in Korea, this empirical study found that continuous participation in crowdfunding is positively correlated with factors such as enjoyment, familiarity, agency credibility and reward, while peer-influence shows negative correlation. Furthermore, moderating effects of funding modes significantly affect continuous participation. These empirical results contribute insights on the emerging phenomenon of crowdfunding from funders' perspectives and shed lights more on the ways that the actions of platform providers may affect their ability to receive entrepreneurial financing.

인터넷의 진화와 트위터, 페이스북 등의 새로운 미디어의 등장으로 인해 인터넷 기반 플랫폼을 이용하여 대중으로부터 자금을 모으는 크라우드 펀딩이 주목 받고 있다. 하지만 이와 관련된 연구는 초입단계로 크라우드펀딩을 성공적으로 활용하고자 할 때 고려되어야 할 요인들을 분석한 실증적 연구는 부재한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 동기이론에 기반을 두어 참여자의 지속적 참여의도를 상승시키는 요인을 도출하여 실증적으로 검증하였다. 연구 결과 즐거움, 친밀감, 기관신뢰도, 보상기대가 지속적인 참여에 영향을 미쳤으며 모금모드 유형에 따라 참여를 유도할 수 있는 요소를 제공할 필요성을 실증적으로 증명하였다. 이를 기반으로 하여 본 연구의 학문적 및 실무적 시사점을 논의하고 아울러 연구의 한계점을 확인함으로써 향후 추가적인 연구 방향을 제시하였다.
