초록

본 연구는 청소년의 기업가정신(위험감수성, 혁신성, 진취성)이 창업의지에 미치는 영향을 학업성적의 조절효과를 중심으로 실증분석하고 있다. 순천고등학교 3학년에 재학 중인 251명의 학생들을 대상으로 실증분석을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 청소년의 기업가정신 즉, 위험감수성, 혁신성, 진취성은 모두 창업의지에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 많은 선행연구들이 강조하는 것과 일치되는 결과로서 불확실한 상황을 견딜 수 있는 위험감수성이 높을수록, 기존의 틀을 탈피할 수 있는 혁신성이 높을수록, 그리고 어려움이 있더라도 앞으로 나아가려는 진취성이 높을수록 청소년의 창업의지 역시 높아진다는 것을 시사한다. 둘째, 학업성적의 조절효과를 검증한 결과 학업성적은 청소년들의 진취성과 창업의지 간의 관계를 부(-)의 방향으로 조절한다는 증거가 발견되었다. 즉, 청소년의 진취성이 창업의지에 긍정적인 영향을 미치지만 학업성적이 높을수록 그러한 긍정적인 경향은 약화된다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구의 결과는 그동안 상대적으로 많은 관심을 받지 못했던 청소년 기업가정신에 관한 후속 연구를 진행함에 있어 의미 있는 이론적 실무적 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

This paper examined the effects of youth entrepreneurship on entrepreneurial intention. Especially, we considered scholastic performance as a moderator on the relationship between youth entrepreneurship and their entrepreneurial intention. An empirical analysis on 251 students attending their third year of Suncheon High School revealed the following results. First, the youth entrepreneurship(risk taking, innovativeness and proactiveness) significantly positive affected entrepreneurial intention. The result corresponds to what many preceding studies emphasize, implying that when risk taking, which enables perseverance through uncertain situations, increases; innovativeness, which enables breaking away from existing frameworks, increases; and proactiveness, which creates new opportunities through future-oriented behavior, increase, the entrepreneurial intention of teenagers also increases. Second, a review of the interaction effect of scholastic performance discovered evidence that scholastic performance moderates the relationship between proactiveness and entrepreneurial intention of youth toward a negative(-) direction. In other words, proactiveness positively effects on entrepreneurial intention, but higher scholastic performance imply that such positive tendencies become weakened. The results of the present study will be able to provide significant theoretical and practical implications in carrying out follow-up studies on the youth entrepreneurship, which has been, up to now, relatively neglected.
