본 연구는 창업의도에 영향을 미치는 기업가정신이 취업가능성에 영향을 미치는지 확인하고자 하였다. 특히 취업을 앞두고 있는 대학생의 기업가정신이 취업가능성에 영향을 미치는지와 성별에 따라 취업가능성에 조절효과가 있는지도 탐색적으로 확인하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 대학생의 기업가정신은 취업가능성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 성별에 따라 기업가 정신이 구직기술, 취업가능성에 미치는 영향력은 차이가 있었다. 즉, 성별에 따라 구직기술과 취업가능성에 유의미한 조절효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, 기업가정신 상위 및 하위집단 각각에서 조절변인에 따른 두 집단 간 취업가능성(직업의식, 직업탐색, 구직기술)의 평균점수를 비교해보니 남자 대학생보다 여자 대학생의 평균이 현저히 높은 편이었다. 이러한 연구 결과에 근거하여 시사점을 제시하고 미래 연구를 제안하였다.
