초록

혁신적 기술과 아이디어를 보유한 스타트업이 창업과정에서 새로운 사업 및 조직을 창출하는데 필요한 기업가정신에 대한 다양한 연구가 수행되어 왔다. 이와 함께 스타트업의 지속적 경쟁우위 창출과 유지를 위해, 새로운 제품 및 시장을 개척하는 과정에서 어떻게 기업을 경영할 것인가를 설명하는 조직 차원의 기업가지향성이 주목받고 있다. 본 연구는 스타트업의 성과에 미치는 기업가지향성의 영향을 연구하기 위해 기술 경쟁우위를 지속적으로 확보하려는 기술지향성과, 네트워크에 내재된 사회적 자본의 중요성을 확인하고, 기술지향성, 사회적 자본과 기업가지향성의 관계 및 역할 파악에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 스타트업 지원기관 등에 입주하고 있는 스타트업 144개 기업을 대상으로 실증연구를 완료하였으며, PLS기반 구조방정식모델로 연구 모형의 적합성을 평가하였다. 연구결과는 첫째, 스타트업의 기업가지향성은 기업성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 둘째, 스타트업에서 기업가지향성은 기술지향성과 사회적 자본의 구조적, 인지적, 관계적 세 가지 차원 모두에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 기술지향성과 사회적 자본의 인지적 차원이 기업가지향성과 기업성과의 관계를 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 통해 기업가지향성은 스타트업의 성과에 직접적 영향을 미치며, 기술우위와 사회적 자본을 증가시켜 스타트업의 성장에 영향을 미치는 중요 요인임을 확인하였다. 그리고 스타트업의 기술지향성 강화와 전략지향성 연구에 대한 필요성을 규명하고, 사회적 자본 등 다양한 관점의 기업가지향성 연구 필요성을 규명하였다. 본 연구는 그동안 스타트업 연구에서 강조되어 왔던 네트워크의 연결성뿐만 아니라 네트워크에 내재된 인지체계의 역할과 중요성에 대해 확인함으로써 스타트업 연구에서 사회적 자본의 통합적 논의를 확장시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 마지막으로 분석된 연구 결과를 반영한 실무적 시사점을 제시하였다.

Various studies have been carried out on the subject of entrepreneurship, which is required to create new businesses and organizations during the early process of startups based on innovative technologies and ideas. At the same time, the concept of organizational entrepreneurial orientation, which explains how to manage enterprises in the process of pioneering new products and markets, is drawing more and more attention for the purpose of continuously creating and maintaining a competitive edge of startups. This study focused on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and startup performance and the role of technological orientation and social capital. An empirical research was conducted on 144 different startup companies residing in startup supporting institutions. To evaluate the suitability of the research model, a PLS-based structural equation model was used. The research results are as follows: First, the entrepreneurial orientation of startups was found to have a positive effect on startup performance. Second, it was shown that entrepreneurial orientation had a positive effect on all three dimensions of social capital and technological orientation. Third, it has been shown that technological orientation and the cognitive dimension of social capital mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and startup performance. Through this, it was confirmed that entrepreneurial orientation directly affects startup performance, and it even influences the growth of startups by increasing technological superiority and social capital which is inherent in the network. Also, the research identified the need for additional research on the relationship between the strengthening of technological orientation and strategical orientation in startups. This study is expected to expand the discussion about social capital in the field of startup related research by affirming the role and importance of the cognitive system embedded in the network as well as the connectivity of networks, which has been already emphasized in previous startup related studies. Finally, the results of this study were reflected to present new practical implications.
