Abstract

This study analyzed various factors of influence affecting the will to start a business and established and empirically analyzed a research model to see which factors significantly affect the will to start a business. To this end, we investigated the general characteristics and experiences of individuals, conducted a study on the will to start a business, and analyzed the entrepreneurship passion for startups, the ability to find business opportunities, and the ability to connect with partner companies. The intent to start a business survey was investigated in a recertive style with a 7 point scale, and the reliability and feasibility review were analyzed through the PLS analysis method, which enables the implementation of a measurement model and a structural model. To collect valid data, the survey was conducted using an entrepreneurial curriculum class hours to collect and analyze 421 data. In summary, the results are as follows: First, college students have many opportunities to develop their capabilities through competitions held by universities and support institutions, and by utilizing them, they have no fear of starting a business. Second, the ability of students to discover product clients themselves has been improved by fostering entrepreneurship in the special lectures on startup in universities. Third, it can be seen that it has received various information on startups from support agencies to enhance its commitment to startups. The implications are as follows. First, they should foster entrepreneurship among college students by offering practical oriented courses that can broaden their understanding of startups. Second, it needs to be improved from entrepreneurial enthusiasm to a program that can grow into a company that can collaborate with partner companies and confirm its commitment to corporate establishment and product development and determine market opportunities. Third, it is necessary to establish an ecosystem of start-ups that can carry out systematic planning and performance management as it is weak to carry out projects with will to startups.

본 연구는 창업교과목을 수강하는 대학생을 대상으로 창업의지에 영향을 미치는 다양한 영향 요소를 분석하여 어떤 요인들이 창업의지에 유의미한 영향을 미치는지를 보고자 연구모형을 구축하고 실증분석 하였다. 이를 위해 개인의 일반적인 특성과 경험을 조사하고 창업의지에 대한 연구를 진행하고 창업에 대한 기업가 열정과 사업기회 발굴 능력과 파트너기업 발굴 연계 역량에 대하여 실증 분석 하였다. 창업의지 설문은 7점 척도의 리커트스타일로 조사하고, 신뢰도 및 타당성 검토를 측정모델과 구조모델 구현이 가능한 PLS분석방법을 통하여 분석하였다. 유효한 데이터 수집을 위하여 창업 교과목 수업시간을 활용하여 설문을 실시하였으며 이를 통하여 421개의 데이터를 수집하고 분석하였다. 이에 대한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 대학생은 대학 및 지원기관에서 실시하는 경진대회 등을 통하여 역량을 키울 수 있는 기회가 많고 이를 활용하여 창업에 대한 두려움은 없다고 볼 수 있다. 둘째, 대학에서 실시하고 있는 창업특강에서 기업가 정신 함양으로 학생 스스로 제품 거래처를 발굴 할 수 있는 역량이 향상되었다. 셋째, 창업지원기관으로부터 다양한 창업정보를 제공받아 창업에 대한 의지를 높여주고 있음을 알 수 있다. 시사점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 대학생들에게 창업에 대한 이해의 폭을 넓혀 줄 수 있는 실습형 위주의 강좌를 개설하여 대학생들에게 기업가 정신을 함양하여야 한다. 둘째, 기업가 열정에서 기업설립과 제품개발에 대한 의지를 확인하고 시장 진출기회를 판단할 수 있는 탐색역량과 파트너 기업과 협력할 수 있는 기업으로 성장할 수 있는 프로그램으로의 개선이 필요하다. 셋째, 창업의지가 있다고 사업을 수행하기에는 미약하므로 체계적인 계획과 성과 관리를 할 수 있는 창업 생태계 구축이 필요하다.
