Abstract

Many researchers conducted studies on the relationship between entrepreneur's characteristic, capability, strategy and performance of new venture. However, the development of scientific technique and the complexity of the business environment have stimulated entrepreneurial teams rather than individuals. Therefore, the necessity of theoretical and practical study on the effect of the characteristics of an entrepreneurial team on the new venture companies was suggested. Initial research on entrepreneurial team diversity has primarily addressed the impact of demographic diversity on performance. In order to verify the research model of this study, 287 delegates of new venture companies that participated in the projects at the 18 Centers for Creative Economy & Innovation in 17 regions of the country conducted validity and reliability test based on the questionnaire to which they answered. The result shows that only gender diversity among demographic diversity affected non-financial performance. Information diversity influenced career diversity on financial performance and diversity in education on non-financial performance. Also, the higher the previous sharing experience, the better the financial performance. Value diversity has negative effect on both financial and non-financial performance. Based on the results, theoretical and practical implications are derived. Also suggested are methodological limitations and future research directions.

지금까지 창업 성과에 관한 연구는 주로 창업자의 특성, 역량, 전략이 성과에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구들이 주를 이루고 있었다. 그러나 과학기술의 발달과 경영환경의 복잡성은 개인에 의한 창업보다 창업팀에 의한 창업을 활성화시키고 있다. 이에 따라 창업팀 특성이 창업 초기 기업에 미치는 영향에 대한 이론적이고 실제적인 연구의 필요성이 제기되었다. 본 연구는 벤처 창업팀의 다양성이 창업 성과에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 연구 모형을 검증하기 위해 전국 17개 지역, 18개 창조경제혁신센터 사업에 참여한 적이 있는 벤처 창업 기업 중 287명의 대표가 응답한 설문을 바탕으로 회귀분석을 통해 가설을 검정하였다. 분석 결과, 인구통계적 다양성에서는 성별 다양성만 비재무적 성과에 부정적 영향을 미쳤다. 정보 다양성은 경력 다양성이 재무적 성과에, 교육수준 다양성이 비재무적 성과에 긍정적 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 이전 공유경험이 높을수록 재무적 성과에 긍정적 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났다. 가치 다양성은 재무적, 비재무적 성과 모두에 부정적인 효과를 미쳤다. 이상의 연구 결과를 기반으로 연구의 시사점과 향후 연구 과제 등을 제시하였다.
