초록

창의성, 기업가정신, 기술혁신 지향성향 등은 기술혁신을 실현하기 위한 핵심적인 요인이다. 기업의 기술혁신을 주도하는 주체는 경영자이다. 햄브릭 교수의 고위층 이론(Upper Echelons Theory)에 따라 경영자 개인수준의 창의성이 조직의 기술혁신체계 내에 다양한 양상으로 투입될 것이고, 조직의 기술혁신체계가 경영자의 창의성에 긍정적인 영향을 받아 기업가지향성과 기술혁신지향성을 발현함으로써 혁신성과를 높일 것이다. 본 연구에서는 국내 반도체분야 기업 중 연구조직을 보유한 132개 기업의 경영자의 개인창의성이 연구조직의 기업가지향성, 기술혁신지향성을 매개로 기업의 혁신성과에 영향을 주는지 살펴보기 위하여 구조방정식으로 분석하였다. 이를 위해, 선행 연구 문헌에서 확인한 개인창의성, 기업가지향성, 기술혁신지향성 등을 측정 요소로 적용하였다. 구조방정식 분석 결과, 경영자의 개인 창의성이 연구조직의 기업가지향성과 기술혁신지향성을 매개로 할 때 기업의 혁신성과에 매우 유의미한 양(+)의 관계를 보였고, 경영자 창의성의 혁신성과와 직접적인 효과는 통계적으로 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 결국, 기술혁신을 주도하는 경영자의 개인창의성과 연구조직의 기업가 지향성과 기술혁신지향성은 기업의 성공적 혁신성과 창출을 위해 매우 중요한 요인임을 말해주고 있다.

Creativity, entrepreneurship, and technological innovation orientation are key factors for technological innovation. The main driver of technological innovation in the enterprise is the executives of the firm. According to the Upper Echelons Theory of D.C. Hambrick(2007), the creativity of the managerial individual will be put into various aspects within the organization's innovation system. The organizational innovation system is positively influenced by the creativity of the executives, and is achieved by manifesting innovation orientation and technological innovation orientation with innovative performances. The purpose of this study is to investigate using Structural Equation Modeling(SEM), whether individual creativity of executives of 132 companies with research organizations among domestic semiconductor companies in Korea influences innovation performance of firms through entrepreneurship orientation and technology innovation orientation. We applied the personal creativity level measurement index, the entrepreneurial orientation measurement factor, and the technology innovation orientation measurement factor identified in the previous research literature. The results of the Structural Equation Modeling analysis show that the creativity of executives have a positive (+) relationship with the innovation performance of firms when they are only mediated by technological innovation orientation, and entrepreneurial orientation. On the other hand, the results of the SEM shows the direct effects between the creativity of executives and innovation performance are not statistically valid. As a result, the individual creativity of executives who lead the innovation of the firm, entrepreneurial orientation, and technological innovation orientation of the researcher organization are very important factors and an inseparable relationship for the successful innovation of the firms.
