Abstract

Recently, the Korean government announced that it would focus on fostering intrapreneurship and corporate spin-off. The government encourages intrapreneurship because it ultimately seeks to develop industries and markets, grow innovative companies, and job creation. In particular, the government believes that enhancing intrapreneurship will reduce the personal fear of failures, expand open innovation by utilizing resources within existing companies related to innovation creation, and lead to new start-ups. Accordingly, this research reviewed the previous studies on corporate entrepreneurship activities and entrepreneurial self-efficacy and briefly looked at the status of global intrapreneurship activities. Based on the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Adult Population Survey data in 2015, this study conducted a logistic regression analysis with the data of 27 OECD member countries' and Korean respondents. The finding confirms that the personal experience of intrapreneurship could be positively associated with entrepreneurial self-efficacy of the person. Therefore, it seems to be worth for the Korean government considering policies that support intrapreneurship as part of the start-up policy.

최근 정부는 사내벤처 및 분사창업을 집중 육성하겠다며 관련 정책을 발표하였다. 정부가 사내벤처를 장려하는 이유는 궁극적으로 산업과 시장의 개발, 혁신창업의 양적 성장, 일자리 창출 등을 꾀하기 때문이다. 특히 사내벤처 장려에 주목한 이유는 개인이 갖는 실패에 대한 부담을 줄이고 혁신창업 관련 기존 기업 내 자원을 활용하여 개방형 혁신(open innovation)을 확산하고 나아가 새로운 창업으로도 이어질 수 있도록 하겠다는 것이다. 이에 따라 본 논의는 우선 창업효능감과 사내기업가활동에 대한 선행연구들을 살펴보았다. 각각의 개념을 살펴보고 사내기업가활동에 대한 연구 동향을 짚어본 다음 사내기업가활동의 현황을 간단히 살펴보았다. 이후 2015년 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Adult Population Survey 자료를 기반으로 OECD 가입 국가 27개국 및 한국 응답자 대상 로지스틱 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 사내기업가 활동 경험이 궁극적으로 개인의 창업효능감 보유에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 창업효능감이 창업에서의 실제 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다고 확인해준 선행연구들과 종합해 정리하면, 사내기업가활동을 한 개인은 창업효능감을 가질 수 있고, 이러한 개인이 실제로 창업을 했을 때 창업성과를 높일 수 있다는 점에서 사내기업가활동을 지원하는 정책을 창업정책의 일환으로도 적극 고려할 만 하다고 볼 수 있다.
