이 연구의 목적은 대학 관계자들과 창업관련 정책 관계자들에게 창업지원프로그램에 대한 현 위치를 알리고, 다양한 창업지원프로그램 중 창업의지에 실질적으로 영향을 미치는 요인이 무엇인지 파악하기 위함이다. 본 연구는 창업지원프로그램을 창업교육 지원, 창업활동 지원, 사업화 지원의 세 가지 지원으로 구분하여 각각의 지원들 중 어떠한 창업지원프로그램이 대학생의 창업효능감과 기회인식에 영향을 미치는지 여부를 분석하고, 이를 통해 결론적으로 대학생의 창업의지에도 영향을 미치는지에 대해 실증 분석을 하였다. 또한 창업지원프로그램이 창업효능감과 기회인식을 매개로 창업의지에 미치는 영향에 대해 실증 분석을 하였다. 실증분석의 주요 연구결과는 첫째 창업지원프로그램 중 창업활동 지원은 창업효능감과 기회인식에 모두 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 사업화 지원은 창업효능감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 창업교육 지원은 창업효능감과 기회인식에 모두 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 창업효능감과 기회인식은 창업의지에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 창업지원프로그램 중 창업활동 지원이 창업의지에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 창업지원프로그램 중 창업활동 지원과 창업의지 간의 관계에서 창업효능감은 부분매개효과를 나타냈으며 창업지원프로그램 중 사업화 지원과 창업의지 간의 관계에서 기회인식은 부분매개효과를 내는 것으로 나타났다. 이 외에 다른 변수들은 매개조건을 충족시키지 못해 부분매개효과를 나타냈다. 이는 창업지원프로그램 중 일부 지원은 창업의지에 영향을 주지 못하며 창업효능감과 기회인식으로 인해 창업의지가 높아지는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 대학생의 창업의지를 높이기 위해서는 창업지원프로그램의 질적 향상과 다양한 방안을 모색해야 하며, 창업효능감과 기회인식을 높일 수 있는 질 높은 교육프로그램과 충분한 창업활동 지원과 학생이 원하는 사업화 지원을 제공해야 한다는 점과 창업활성화를 위한 전략적 발전의 필요성을 제시하였다.
