Abstract

The domestic unemployment rate is now seriously increasing due to the impact of the international trend of incurring high costs using only a small number of manpower in a situation where the business has been being reduced in size. The nation is taking start-up promotion policies as a way to overcome the problem, but with the advent of excessive entrepreneurs and their concentration on specific areas, their survival is in an unclear situation. Thus, this study was intended to provide a useful direction for successful start-ups by identifying the impact of entrepreneurial motivation and entrepreneurship, internal characteristics of entrepreneurs, and of competency characteristics, external characteristics of them, on sustainability through business performance. Thus, the purpose of this study was to provide a useful direction for successful start-ups by identifying the impact of entrepreneurial motivation and entrepreneurship, internal characteristics of entrepreneurs, competency, and external characteristics, on sustainability through business performance. The result of verifying the hypothesis has showed that entrepreneurial motivation, entrepreneurship, and competency characteristics had a positive effect on business performance, and on the other hand, the business performance had a positive effect on sustainability. In addition, in terms of the impact of entrepreneurial motivation, entrepreneurship, and competency characteristics on sustainability, all of them had mediating effects on business performance. It is obvious that studies on the factors affecting business performance and corporate sustainability up to now have been carried out by only collecting the independent variables of this study individually or two of them. so it is judged that if the study, which has verified the practical direction in general through the verification of entrepreneurs's internal and external characteristics from various angles, is performed more comprehensively along with the addition of background characteristics of entrepreneurs, such as characteristics of start-up preparation, etc., in the future, more in-depth results will be able to be obtained.

규모가 축소되고 소수인력만을 활용하는 고비용 창출이라는 국제적 추세의 영향으로 현재 국내의 실업률이 심각하게 증가되고 있다. 이를 극복하기 위한 방편으로 국가는 창업진흥정책을 전개 중이지만 과다한 창업자 생성과 특정분야에의 집중으로 인하여 이들은 생존조차 불분명한 상황인 바, 본 연구는 창업자들의 내적 특성에 해당되는 창업동기와 창업가정신 그리고 외적특성인 역량특성이 경영성과를 매개로 하여 지속가능성에 미치는 영향을 규명하여 성공적 창업을 위한 유용한 방향성을 제공하고자 하였다. 가설검증 결과, 창업동기, 창업가정신 그리고 역량특성은 경영성과에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤고, 경영성과는 지속가능성에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 창업동기, 창업가정신 그리고 역량특성이 지속가능성에 미치는 영향에 있어 경영성과는 모두 매개되었다. 현재까지의 경영성과와 기업지속가능성에 미치는 영향요인에 관한 연구들은 본 연구의 독립변인들을 개별적으로 혹은 2가지 변인으로 연구를 진행해 온 바, 창업자의 내적특성과 외적특성을 다각도로 검증하여 실무적 방향성을 총체적으로 검증한 본 연구는 차후 창업 준비 특성과 같은 창업자 배경적 특성이 추가되어 더욱 포괄적으로 진행된다면 더욱 심도 깊은 결과 도출이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
