Abstract

Businesses have to survive and thrive in both domestic and international environments. In order to resolve these problems, new alternatives have been presented. These include the importance of women's resources and entrepreneurship of female CEOs. The sensibility, delicacy, creativity as well as the intuitive power of female CEOs, actively enables them to cope with the ever-changing environment. Because of the rapidly changing circumstances, the above mentions women's attributes are highlighted thus, causing women's roles in society to shift from their traditional tendencies to finding careers and their own identities. Due to this change in social roles, social interest and the values of female CEOs are being reevaluated. Accordingly, the conceptual consideration of female entrepreneurship (innovation, enterprise, risk sensitivity) as well as the factors to be considered for the entrepreneurship of female CEOs in order to promote knowledge management performance was derived in this research. The deducted implication of this research is that generally, the enterprise and risk sensitivity of entrepreneurship affect the knowledge management performance of female CEOs. It is therefore proved that in the case of female CEOs, entrepreneurship and self-efficacy are linked, allowing them to achieve the desired outcome for a specific task performance. Female CEOs are capable of company management through the mediating process of their enterprise, risk sensitivity, and self-efficacy and with faith in their knowledge management, will be able to achieve high performance. Therefore, using strengths and nature peculiar to women, women's economic activities derived from knowledge management based on entrepreneurship will not only help overcome the long-term economy crisis but also lead to high economic growth and development. This will be a dynamic force for the nation's new growth with financial means. The comparative study of existing results will also contribute in suggesting the direction of policies that will enable the success of female CEOs in entrepreneurship.

기업들은 대내외적으로 불투명한 환경에서 생존하고 발전하기 위한 새로운 대안으로 여성 인력 활용의 중요성과 기업가정신을 제시하고 있다. 그리고 최근 급변하는 환경 변화로 인해 능동적으로 대처 가능한 여성 특유의 감수성, 섬세성, 창의력, 직관력이 주목받으면서 여성들은 전통적인 성향에서 벗어나 직업을 갖고 여성 자신의 정체성을 찾는 사회적 역할이 변화되고 있다. 이러한 사회적 역할 변화로 여성CEO에 대한 사회적 관심과 가치가 재평가되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 여성CEO의 기업가정신(혁신성, 진취성, 위험감수성) 개념의 고찰과 기업가정신이 지식경영성과 촉진을 위한 고려되어야 할 요인을 도출하였다. 본 연구의 도출된 시사점은 기업가정신의 진취성, 위험감수성이 대체로 여성CEO의 지식경영성과에 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 여성CEO의 경우 기업가 정신이 자기효능감과 연결되어 특정 과업성과에 원하는 결과를 거둘 수 있도록 영향을 미치는 것으로 검증하였다. 이는 여성CEO들이 진취성, 위험감수성, 자기효능감 등의 매개 과정을 통해 기업 경영을 잘 이끌어 나갈 수 있고, 스스로 믿음을 가지고 지식경영을 한다면 높은 성과에 영향을 미친다고 볼 수 있다. 그러므로 여성 특유의 장점과 특성을 살려 기업가정신에 의한 경제활동이 장기적인 경기 침체의 극복은 물론이고 거시적으로 경제적 성장과 발전을 이끌며, 국가의 신성장 동력이 될 수 있도록 하여야 한다. 또한, 추가적인 연구를 통하여 기업가 정신을 가진 여성CEO가 성공할 수 있도록 정책 방향 제시에 기여할 것이다.
