Abstract

This Paper Aims to Provide Economic Implications to Activate College Start-ups by Performing an International Comparative Study on the Personality Characteristic Elements that Affect Entrepreneurial Intention of University Students. This Investigation Employed Entrepreneurial Self-efficacy, Entrepreneurial Preference, Desire of Achievement, and Fear of Failure as Personality Characteristic Factors. Furthermore, Social Perception was used as the Moderating Variable. The Result Shows that Entrepreneurial Self-efficacy and Entrepreneurial Preference had a Positive Effect, while fear of Failure had a Negative Effect on Entrepreneurial Intention. Moreover, Desire of Achievement did not have any Effects. The Analysis of Moderating Effect of Social Perception between Personality Characteristics and Entrepreneurial Intention Shows that the Moderating Effect did not Appear.

본 논문은 창업의도에 영향을 미치는 개인특성 요인들에 관한 국제 비교연구를 실시함으로써, 대학생들의 창업의도를 결정하는 개인특성 요인을 규명하고, 대학생 창업 활성화를 위한 정책적 시사점을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 창업의도에 영향을 미치는 개인특성 요인으로 창업자신감, 창업선호도, 성취욕구, 실패두려움을 독립변수로 사용하였으며, 사회적인식을 조절변수로 사용하였다. 연구결과, 창업자신감 및 창업선호도가 창업의도에 정(+)의 영향을, 실패두려움은 창업의도에 부(-)의 영향을 미치고 있었으며, 성취욕구는 창업의도에 영향을 미치지 못한 것으로 나타났다. 개인특성과 창업의도 사이에서 사회적인식의 조절효과를 분석해보았으나, 통계적으로 유의미한 결과가 나타나지 않았다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 한계점과 향후 연구방향이 제시되었다.
