Abstract

The main purpose of this comparative study is to analyze the impact of uncertainty avoidance on the potential entrepreneurship of five developing countries through results of survey implemented to under- and postgraduate students of five developing countries such as Cambodia, Mongolia, Nepal, Peru and Rwanda. Futhermore, it is another purpose to compare the results of respondents by gender and scrutinize what impacts of the uncertainty avoidance have on male and female students' entrepreneurial orientation. First of all, the survey was conducted to under- and postgraduate students of five countries. Questions of the survey were composed of three parts: Locus of Control and Innovativeness for the individual entrepreneurial orientation and Uncertainty Avoidance for the cultural variable. The result of this study shows that the variable of entrepreneurial orientation is getting higher when Uncertainty Avoidance variable is becoming higher. On top of that, this is shown even in the gender comparison. It is the totally different result from precedent studies that shows correlation of entrepreneurship and culture. On the other hand, men's entrepreneurial orientation of five countries higher than women's according to the gender comparison.

본 연구의 목표는 한국정부(외교부)의 국제개발협력 중점협력국가 24개국 중에서 캄보디아, 몽골, 네팔, 페루 그리고 르완다 대학생들을 대상으로 한 설문조사 결과를 통해 문화적 변수인 불확실성 회피성이 개도국 5개국의 잠재적 기업가적 지향성에 미치는 영향 사례로 비교분석하는 것이다. 또한 5개국 응답자들의 성별 분석을 통해 남녀 응답자들의 기업가적 지향성의 정도를 비교하고 성별 기업가 지향성이 문화적 변수에 어떤 영향을 받고 있는지를 살펴본다. 본 사례 비교연구를 실시하기에 앞서 5개국 대학생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 질문은 개인의 기업가적 지향성을 측정하기 위하여 내재적 통제력(Locus of Control)과 혁신성(Innovativeness)을 묻는 세부 질문을 만들었고, 문화적 요인을 측정하기 위해서는 불확실성 회피성(Uncertainty Avoidance)의 정도를 묻는 질문을 만들어 설문을 실시하였다. 기존의 연구들과는 달리 이번 사례 비교연구에서는 불확실성 회피성이 높을수록 기업가적 지향성도 더 높게 나타났으며, 이는 성별 분석에서도 동일했다. 한편 남성 응답자들의 기업가적 지향성이 여성 응답자들에 비해 높게 나타나고 있다.
