Abstract

This study aims to analyze multi-path mediating effect of resilience and entrepreneurship on the relationship between learned helplessness ann entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE). Research sample consisted of 154 university students in Gyeonggi-Do. The results of this research is as follows: First, learned helplessness showed a negative effects on entrepreneurship and ESE. Second, resilience showed a positive effects on entrepreneurship and ESE. Third, the mediating effect of resilience was significant on the relationship between learned helplessness and ESE. Fourth, entrepreneurship turned out to mediate on the relationship between learned helplessness and ESE. Finally, resilience and entrepreneurship had shown multi-path mediating effects on the relationship between learned helplessness and ESE (learned helplessness→resilience→entrepreneurship→ESE). In particular, this study conclude with implications for future research, limitations of this research, and practical application.

본 연구는 예비창업가의 학습된 무력감, 회복탄력성, 기업가정신 및 창업효능감의 인관관계를 규명하였다. 특히, 학습된 무력감과 창업효능감의 관계에서 회복탄력성과 기업가정신의 다중매개역할을 검증하였다. 경기도에 소재한 4년제 대학의 대학생 154명을 대상으로 한 실증분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 예비창업가의 회복탄력성은 기업가정신과 창업효능감에 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 둘째, 예비창업가들의 학습된 무력감은 기업가정신과 창업효능감에 부정적인 영향을 주었다. 셋째, 예비창업가의 회복탄력성은 학습된 무력감과 창업효능감의 관계에서 매개역할을 하였다. 넷째, 예비창업가의 기업가정신은 학습된 무력감과 창업효능감의 관계에서 매개역할을 하였다. 마지막으로 학습된 무력감과 창업효능감의 관계에서 회복탄력성과 기업가정신은 다중 매개역할을 하였다. 즉, 예비창업가들이 지각하는 높은 학습된 무력감은 대학생들의 회복탄력성과 기업가정신을 거쳐 결국 창업효능감을 감소시킨다는 것이다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 이론적 및 실무적 시사점, 연구의 한계와 향후 연구방향을 제시하였다.
