초록

서비스산업은 종류가 다양해지고 서비스 기업의 규모도 크게 향상되고 있다. 이러한 현상은 경제성장과 기술발전으로 인해 소비자 요구가 다양화되어 새로운 서비스에 대한 수요가 창출되었으며, 서비스산업이 성숙하고 글로벌 경쟁 양상으로 기업 간의 경쟁이 심화하여 규모의 경제를 활용한 경쟁력 향상이 요구되기 때문이라고 할 수 있다. 미용 서비스업체의 경영자는 다양하고 급변하는 환경에 빠르게 대응하여 조직성과와 기업의 목표인 경영성과를 달성하기 위하여 기업가정신이 다양한 성과변수에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구는 경영자의 기업가정신이 조직성과인 고객지향성과 고객만족, 경영성과인 재무적 성과 간의 관계에서 영향을 미치는 관계를 실증 분석하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 이러한 연구의 검증을 위해 설문의 구성은 한 업체에 사업주용 설문지 1부, 종업원용 설문지 2부, 고객용 설문지 2부로 구성하였다. 설문지는 총 400개 업체에 배포하여 340개 업체의 설문지를 회수하였으며, 회수된 설문지 중 불성실 응답의 설문지 37개 업체의 설문을 제외한 303개의 업체를 표본으로 가설검증에 활용하였다. 본 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기업가정신이 고객지향성에 정(+)의 영향을 나타내어 가설이 지지가 되었다. 둘째, 고객지향성이 고객만족에 정(+)의 영향을 나타내어 가설이 지지가 되었다. 셋째, 고객만족이 재무적 성과에 정(+)의 영향을 나타내어 가설이 지지가 되었다. 넷째, 기업가정신은 고객지향성을 통해 고객만족에 영향을 미치고, 고객만족은 재무적 성과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 기업가정신과 고객만족 간의 고객지향성이 완전매개하며, 고객지향성과 재무적 성과에 고객만족이 완전매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 기업가정신과 경영성과 간의 관계에서 개인 수준의 성과인 종업원들의 행동과 태도를 개선되고 이러한 변화는 조직 수준의 성과인 고객만족이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 고객에게 서비스를 제공하는 과정에서부터 고객과 빈번한 접촉이 이루어진다. 서비스접점에서 종업원의 역할이 중요하고 서비스구매에 영향을 미친다. 서비스접점에서 고객을 대면하는 종업원은 고객과의 관계를 지속적으로 유지해주는 결정적 요인으로 작용한다. 미용 서비스업체 내에서는 종사자들 간에 고객지향적 환경을 조성해줄 필요가 있다. 고객지향적인 기업이나 종업원이 고객의 욕구를 예측하고 우수한 가치를 가진 제품 또는 서비스를 제공함으로써 고객에게 더 큰 만족을 끌어내 경쟁우위를 점할 수 있다는 것을 시사한다. 또한, 고객만족은 경영성과인 재무적 경영성과 측면의 관계가 있다는 것을 밝혔다. 따라서 미용 서비스업체의 경영자가 경쟁력확보와 성과향상을 위해 기업가정신이 중요한 요소임을 시사한다.

In the service industry the types are diversifying and the scale of service companies is greatly improving. Such a phenomenon is caused by economic growth and technological development diversifying consumer needs creating demand for new services maturing the service industry and intensifying competition among companies in the form of global competition. It can be said that this is because it is necessary to improve competitiveness by utilizing the economy of scale. Research is needed on the impact of entrepreneurship on various outcome variables in order for service organization managers to respond quickly to diverse and rapidly changing environments and achieve organizational outcomes and corporate goals of management outcomes. The purpose of this study was to empirically analyze the relationship in which the entrepreneurial spirit of a manager influences the relationship between customer orientation, which is an organizational result, customer satisfaction, and financial result, which is a management result. In order to verify such research, the questionnaire was composed of one business owner questionnaire, two employee questionnaires, and two customer questionnaires. The questionnaire was distributed to a total of 400 companies, and the questionnaires of 340 companies were collected. Of these, 303 companies, excluding the questionnaires of 37 companies with many dishonest or missing values, were used for hypothesis testing. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. First, entrepreneurship had a positive (+) effect on customer orientation, supporting the hypothesis. Second, customer orientation showed a positive (+) effect on customer satisfaction, supporting the hypothesis. Third, customer satisfaction showed a positive (+) effect on financial outcomes, supporting the hypothesis. Fourth, it was found that entrepreneurship influences customer satisfaction through customer orientation, and customer satisfaction affects financial outcomes. It turns out that customer orientation between entrepreneurship and customer satisfaction is completely mediated, and customer satisfaction is completely mediated by customer orientation and financial outcomes. The relationship between entrepreneurship and management improved employee behavior and attitudes, which is an individual outcome, and this change was found to improve customer satisfaction, which is an organizational outcome. It makes frequent contact with customers in the process of servicing them. Employee roles are important at service contacts and influence service purchases. Employees facing customers through service contacts act as a decisive factor in maintaining a continuous relationship with customers. Within a beauty service company, it is necessary to create a customer-oriented environment among workers. It suggests that customer-oriented companies and employees can anticipate their desires and provide products or services of superior value to achieve greater customer satisfaction and a competitive advantage. In addition, it was clarified that customer satisfaction has an aspect relationship with financial management, which is a management result. Therefore, it is suggested that the entrepreneurial spirit is an important factor for the management of a beauty service company to secure competitiveness and improve results.
