Abstract

Recently, the government provided about 35 trillion won to start-ups through a large amount of start-up support funds from the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund and the Korea Development Bank, and more than 100 trillion won to start-ups over the past three years.(2015-2018) The Ministry of SMEs and Startups announced that a total of 1.4517 trillion won will be supported by 16 ministries (90 projects) after surveying start-up support projects by ministries in 2020 to create a start-up country. Indeed, among the budgets supported by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, startups accounted for 85%, while scale-ups (growth and maturity) were only 15%. However, the survival rate of Korean start-ups was far lower than that of developed countries. The survival rate for the three years after the start-up was 39.1 percent, with only about 4 out of 10 surviving, with 27.5 percent surviving for five years, and only 3 out of 10 surviving. On the other hand, overseas start-ups have a survival rate of twice as high as that of Korea for five years. Accordingly, this study aims to empirically analyze and examine the need for research on nascent entrepreneurs, which have recently been actively supported by the government, as well as the impact of start-up motivation and start-up preparation on the intention to continue business. The survey was conducted from April 1 to May 15, 2020 for nascent entrepreneurs nationwide, and 222 of the total 245 copies were analyzed, and the questionnaire was measured using the Likert 5-point scale. As a result of the analysis, first, all factors constituting start-up motivation were adopted by significantly affecting start-up satisfaction. In addition, among the sub-factors of nascent entrepreneurs' preparation, item preparation was adopted as a significant influence on start-up satisfaction. Second, the nascent entrepreneurs' satisfaction level was adopted by having a significant impact on the business continuity. Third, some of the motivations for self-realization of the motivation for start-ups were adopted by having a significant impact on the business continuity. In addition, the preparation of items for the start-up preparation of nascent entrepreneurs was partially adopted as they had a significant impact on the business continuity. Fourth, it was adopted by the mediation effect of start-up satisfaction between the motivation of the nascent entrepreneurs' preparation and the business continuity. In addition, it was adopted by the medium effect of start-up satisfaction between the nascent entrepreneurs' preparation and the business continuity. Based on the results of these studies, it is intended to draw practical implications, and to provide useful policy implications to increase nascent entrepreneurs' satisfaction and continue to carry out their start-ups.

공공금융기관에 따르면 금융위원회가 신용보증기금과 산업은행에서 정책금융 등의 많은 창업지원 자금을 통해 약 35조원을 지원하였으며 최근 3년간(2015년~2018년) 창업기업에 약 100조원 이상을 지원하였다. 중소벤처기업부는 창업국가 조성을 위해 2020년도 부처별 창업지원사업을 조사한 결과, 16개 부처(90개 사업)에서 모두 1조 4,517억원이 지원한다고 밝혔다. 실제로 중소벤처기업부의 지원예산 중 스타트업 지원 비중은 85%에 달한 반면 스케일업(성장·성숙기)지원은 15%에 불과하다. 그러나 국내 창업기업의 생존율은 선진국에 비해 턱없이 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 창업 후 3년간 생존율은 39.1%로 10곳 중 4곳 정도만 살아남는 것으로 조사되었고, 5년간 살아남을 확률은 27.5% 10곳 중 3곳 정도만 살아남는다. 반면 해외 창업기업들은 5년간 창업기업 생존율은 우리나라의 2배에 달한다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 최근 정부의 적극적인 지원이 이루어지고 있는 초기창업자에 대한 연구의 필요성과 함께 창업동기와 창업준비가 사업계속의도에 미치는 영향관계에서 창업만족도의 매개역할에 관한 영향을 실증적으로 분석하고 살펴보고자 한다. 설문조사는 전국 초기창업자들을 대상으로 2020년 4월 1일부터 5월15일까지 하였고 총 245부 중 222부의 자료를 분석하였으며, 설문문항은 Likert 5점 척도를 활용하여 측정하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 창업동기를 구성하는 모든 요인이 창업만족도에 유의한 영향을 미침으로써 채택되었다. 또한, 초기창업자의 창업준비의 하위 요인 중 아이템준비가 창업만족도에 유의한 영향을 미침으로써 일부 채택되었다. 둘째, 초기창업자의 창업만족도가 사업계속의도에 유의한 영향을 미침으로써 채택되었다. 셋째, 창업동기의 자아실현 동기가 사업계속의도에 유의한 영향을 미침으로써 일부 채택되었다. 또한, 초기창업자의 창업준비의 아이템 준비가 사업계속의도에 유의한 영향을 미침으로써 일부 채택되었다. 넷째, 초기창업자의 창업동기와 사업계속의도간에 창업만족도의 매개효과가 나타남으로써 채택되었다. 또한, 초기창업자의 창업준비와 사업계속의도간에 창업만족도의 매개효과가 나타남으로써 채택되었다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 실무적 시사점을 도출하고, 초기창업자들의 창업만족도를 높이고 계속 가능한 창업수행을 할 수 있도록 유용한 정책적 시사점을 제시하고자 한다.
