초록

창업자는 가시적 경영성과를 내기 위해 오랫동안 인적, 물적 자원과 자본을 지속적으로 투입해야 한다. 따라서, 창업에서 성공하기 위해서는 난관과 어려움 속에서도 창업을 포기하지 않고 지속적으로 열성을 가지고 창업에 몰두하는 조직몰입이 필수적이라고 할 수 있다. 선행연구에 따르면 창업자의 조직몰입은 조직화, 창업기업설립, 신제품 개발 등에 유의한 영향을 미친다고 한다. 본 연구는 창업자의 학습지향성 및 혁신성과 조직몰입 간의 관계에 대해 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 학습지향성과 조직몰입 간의 관계에서 혁신성의 매개효과에 대해 검증하고 이들 변수들 간의 관계에서 경력연관성의 조절효과를 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 실증분석을 통해 밝혀진 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 창업자의 학습지향성, 혁신성, 경력연관성은 조직몰입에 긍정적 영향이 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 창업자의 학습지향성과 조직몰입 간의 관계에서 혁신성은 부분매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 위계적 회귀분석을 통해 검증한 결과 학습지향성과 혁신성 간의 관계에서 학습지향성과 경력연관성의 상호작용항이 긍정적으로 유의미한 것으로 나타나 경력연관성의 조절효과가 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이것은 경력연관성이 평균보다 높은 조건에서 학습지향성의 혁신성에 대한 영향이 더욱 증대하게 된다는 것을 의미한다. 넷째, 학습지향성과 조직몰입 간의 관계에서 학습지향성과 경력연관성의 상호작용항이 마찬가지로 긍정적으로 유의미한 것으로 나타나 경력연관성의 조절효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, 매개된 조절효과 분석을 통해 살펴본 결과는 학습지향성과 조직몰입 간의 관계에서 경력연관성의 조절효과는 학습지향성과 혁신성 간의 관계에서 경력연관성의 조절효과가 혁신성을 매개로 하여 나타난 간접적 효과라는 것이다.

Entrepreneurs should continuously invest resource and capital for a long time to get tangible business results. In order to be successful, despite difficulties, it is essential for entrepreneurs to continue entrepreneurial businesses without giving up too early. Thus, it can be said that organizational commitment of entrepreneurs is essential for success. According to previous studies, the organizational commitment of entrepreneurs has a significant effect on organizing, establishments of new firms and new product developments. The purpose of this article is to examine the relationships among learning orientation, innovativeness and organizational commitment of entrepreneurs. Especially, we focus on the mediating effect of innovativeness in the relationship between learning orientation and organizational commitment and the moderating effect of career relevance among the relationships. Based on empirical analysis, we reported the following results. First, learning orientation, innovativeness and career relevance of entrepreneurs had significant positive effects on organizational commitment. Second, it was found that innovativeness of entrepreneurs has a partial mediating effect on the relationship between learning orientation and organizational commitment. Third, using Baron & Kenny's hierarchical multiple regression analysis, we examined the moderating effect of career relevance among the relationships of learning orientation, innovativeness and organizational commitment. Third, because the interaction term was found to be positively significant, it was concluded there is a moderating effect of career relevance between learning orientation and innovativeness. This means, when career relevance was higher than average, the influence of learning orientation on innovation increases even more. Fourth, it was also found there is a moderating effect of career relevance between learning orientation and organizational commitment. However, the results of the mediated moderating effect analysis showed the moderating effect of career relevance between learning orientation and organization commitment is an indirect effect of moderating effect of career relevance between learning orientation and innovativeness mediated by innovativeness.
