Abstract

The purpose of this study is related to the entrepreneurial activation of middle-aged and the elderly people for identifying the influence of entrepreneurial competency and entrepreneurial motivation on the entrepreneurial intentions and the mediating effects of opportunity search. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, a survey was conducted targeting the middle-aged and the elderly people in the ages of 40~60 years, and among 250 copies of collected questionnaires, 230 copies were finally used. SPSS 24.0 program was used for analysis. Results are as follows. First, the entrepreneurial competency had a positive effect on entrepreneurial intentions. Specifically, it has been proved that information competency, experience competency, network competency had a significant influence on entrepreneurial intentions. Second, the entrepreneurial motivation had a positive effect on entrepreneurial intentions. Furthermore, it has been proved that independence maintenance, wealth creation had a positive effect on entrepreneurial intentions, but cost of living were rejected. Third, the results of verifying the mediating relationship of opportunity search showed that the opportunity search has performed a mediating role in the effect of experience competency, network competency, and independence maintenance on entrepreneurial intentions.

중장년층의 창업은 우리 사회가 고령 사회로 이행하는 과정에서 주목 받는 이슈의 대상이며, 중장년층의 창업은 개인뿐만 아니라 국가경제 및 사회적 역할 측면에서 중요하다. 본 연구는 중년층의 창업활성화를 위하여 창업역량과 창업동기가 창업의도에 미치는 영향을 규명하고, 창업 기회탐색의 매개효과를 검증하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위하여 40~65세 중·장년층을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 수집된 설문지 250부 중 230부를 최종적으로 사용하였다. 연구의 분석은 SPSS 24.0 프로그램을 사용하였다. 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 창업역량은 창업의도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 구체적으로, 정보 역량, 경험 역량, 네트워크역량이 창업의도에 유의미한 영향을 미친다는 것이 입증되었습니다. 둘째, 창업동기는 창업의도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 구체적으로 독립성을 유지하고, 부를 창출하는 것은 창업 의도에 유의미한 영향을 미쳤으나, 생계유지를 위한 창업동기는 창업의도에 유의미한 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 창업 기회탐색의 매개관계를 검증한 결과, 창업 기회탐색은 경험역량, 네트워크역량, 독립유지가 창업의도에 미치는 영향에서 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과 창업자의 역량에 기초하여 기회탐색이 창업으로 연계할 수 있는 지원체계가 요구된다.
