초록

본 연구에서는 창업효능감이 창업의지에 미치는 영향을 밝히고, 창업효능감과 창업의지의 관계에서 조절초점의 조절효과를 규명하고자 하였다. 향상초점과 예방초점으로 구성된 조절초점이론에 따르면 목표를 달성하는 방법과 동기는 개인별로 다르다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 향상초점 지향적인 대학생들과 예방초점 지향적인 대학생들에 따라 창업효능감이 창업의지에 미치는 영향이 다를 것이라고 가정하였다. 본 연구를 위해 전국 6개의 대학에서 창업교육을 수강한 494명의 대학생들을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였으며, 이중 총 309명의 설문지가 분석에 활용되었다. 분석결과, 창업효능감은 창업의지에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 창업효능감과 창업의지 관계에서 조절초점이 조절역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 향상초점 지향적인 대학생들은 예방초점 지향적인 대학생들보다 창업효능감이 창업의지에 미치는 정(+)의 영향이 더 강하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 창업효능감을 높일 수 있는 교육방법론과 예방초점 지향적인 대학생들을 위한 특화된 창업교육의 필요성을 시사하고 있다.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of entrepreneurial self-efficacy on entrepreneurial intention. Further, the paper aims to study the moderating effect of regulatory focus in the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. As per regulatory focus theory, individuals have different goal attainment approaches and underlying motivations; this posits two distinct orientations: promotion focus and prevention focus. Consequently, we hypothesize that the effect of entrepreneurial self-efficacy on entrepreneurial intention would differ depending on the individual's regulatory focus, either promotion or prevention. In order to test the hypotheses, we select a random sample of 494 entrepreneurship students at six universities across the country. The analysis includes a survey of 309 students. The results indicate that students' entrepreneurial self-efficacy has a positive effect on their intention to become entrepreneurs. Further, regulatory focus moderates the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Specifically, the impact of entrepreneurial self-efficacy on entrepreneurial intention is greater in promotion-focused students than in prevention-focused students. The results highlight the need for education methodology that enhances students' entrepreneurial self-efficacy and specialized entrepreneurship education for prevention-focused students.
