Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the causal relationship of related variables in order to promote entrepreneurship, which is one way to support the economic independence and stable settlement of North Korean defectors. This study is firstly to examine the influence of individualism and collectivism on entrepreneurial intentions, and secondly, to examine the mediating effect of social adaptability in the relationship between socialist value system and entrepreneurial intention. To this end, a survey was conducted on North Korean defectors, and the empirical analysis target was 223 North Korean defectors. For the verification of the causal relationship between personal disposition and entrepreneurial intention, and the causal relationship between value system and entrepreneurial intention PLS was used. And PROCESS for SPSS Macro was used to verify the mediating effect of social adaptation in the relationship between the value system and entrepreneurial intention. Looking at the results of the empirical analysis, the extraversion factor was found to have a positive effect on the entrepreneurial intention level of North Korean defectors, and the self-fulfillment desire factor was found to have a positive effect on the entrepreneurial intention. It was also found that individualist values have a positive effect on the entrepreneurial intentions of North Korean defectors, and collectivist values do not have a significant effect on the entrepreneurial intentions. As a result of examining the mediating effect of social adaptability between individualism/collectivism and entrepreneurial intention in this study, it was found that individualist value has a direct impact on entrepreneurial intention without engaging social adaptability.

본 연구는 북한이탈주민의 경제적 자립과 안정적인 정착을 지원하는 하나의 방안인 창업을 촉진하기 위해서 이에 관련된 변인들의 인과관계를 살펴보는데 목적이 있으며, 구체적으로 첫째, 외향성, 자아성취욕구, 사회적 가치체계인 개인주의와 집단주의가 창업의도에 미치는 영향력을 살펴 보고자 하며, 둘쨰, 사회가치체계와 창업의도 간의 관계에서 사회적응성의 매개효과를 검증하고자 한다. 이를 위해 북한이탈주민을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 실증분석 대상은 북한이탈주민 223명 이었으며, 개인성향과 창업의도 간의 인과관계, 가치체계와 창업의도 간의 인과관계에 대한 검증을 위해 PLS 구조방정식을 사용하였으며, 가치체계와 창업의도 간의 관계에서 사회적응성의 매개 효과 검증을 PROCESS for SPSS Macro를 사용하였다. 실증분석결과를 살펴보면, 외향성이 북한이탈주민의 창업의도 수준에 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었으며, 자아성취욕구 요인은 창업의도에 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 개인주의적 가치를 중시하는 비사회주의적 가치관이 북한이탈주민의 창업의도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 집단주의 가치는 창업의도에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 개인주의와 집단주의와 창업의도간의 사회적응성의 매개효과를 검증한 결과 개인주의는 사회적응성을 거쳐 창업의도에 미치는 간접효과는 부(-)의 유의한 영향력을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 시시점을 언급하였다.
