Abstract

In this study, the purpose of the study is to derive the relationship between factors affecting the establishment of start-up companies, technical innovation performance, and technology commercialization, and to confirm the effects of start-up factors and technology commercialization on the technological innovation performance based on the analysis. For this research, a survey was conducted on employees aged 20 or older who were employed in large national enterprises or medium and small-sized enterprises, etc. and the results of the empirical analysis were as follows. Firstly, the factors influencing start-ups were found to have a significant impact on the technology commercialization(manufacturing capacity, producing capacity). Secondly, technology commercialization had a significant impact on the technological innovation performance(business performance, customer performance), and thirdly, technology commercialization had a partial mediating effect in the relationship between start-up factors and technical performance. This study confirmed that the factors of start-up, technology commercialization, and technological innovation performance have statistically significant impact relations, and further research on start-up factors and technology commercialization is necessary for the technological innovation and creation of companies.

본 연구에서는 창업기업설립에 영향을 미치는 요인과 기술혁신성과, 기술사업화의 영향관계를 도출하고, 이에 대한 분석을 통하여 기술혁신성과에 창업영향요인과 기술사업화가 미치는 영향을 확인는데 목적이 있다. 연구를 위하여 전국의 대기업 및 중소기업 등에 재직하고 있는 만 20세 이상의 재직자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 실증분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 창업영향요인은 기술사업화(제품화 능력, 생산화 능력)에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 둘째, 기술사업화는 기술혁신성과(기업성과, 고객성과)에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 셋째, 창업영향요인과 기술성과의 영향관계에서 기술사업화는 부분매개효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통하여 창업영향요인과 기술사업화, 기술혁신성과가 통계적으로 유의한 영향관계를 나타낸다는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 기업의 기술혁신성과 창출을 위하여 창업영향요인과 기술사업화에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
