초록

최근 들어 여성 특유의 여성기업가정신(female entrepreneurship)이라는 개념이 주목받기 시작하였다. 그러나 기존 문헌은 여성이 창업한 기업 혹은 여성창업가 중심으로 연구가 주로 이루어지는 데 그쳤고 무엇보다 여성의 전반적인 수준의 여성기업가정신의 선행요인에 대한 이해가 부족하다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 기업차원에서의 조직문화가 여성기업가정신에 미치는 영향에 관하여 살펴보고자 한다. 구체적으로, 조직문화의 특성 중에서 수평 정도에 주목하여 수평적인 조직문화가 여성기업가정신을 증대시키는지 연구하였다. 나아가 수평적인 조직문화에 있는 여성 조직구성원이 개인 차원에서 설정된 경력목표를 달성하기 위해서 취하는 경력관리 관련 행동에 적극적인 경우, 수평적인 조직문화가 여성기업가정신에 미치는 긍정적인 효과가 강화되는지 살펴보았다. 제시된 연구모형의 검증은 한국여성정책연구원에서 조사한 한국여성관리자패널조사(Korea Women Manager Panel: KWMP)의 2022년 3차 조사 데이터를 활용하였다. 가설검증 결과에 따르면 모든 가설은 지지되었다. 따라서, 수평적인 조직문화를 가진 기업일수록 여성기업가정신이 증대되는 긍정적인 효과가 있다. 나아가 경력개발행동에 적극적인 여성일수록, 기업의 조직문화의 수평 정도와 여성기업가정신 간의 정(+)의 관계는 강화되었다. 이런 결과를 토대로 전반적인 수준의 여성기업가정신을 증대시킬 수 있는 선행요인에 대해서 시사점을 제공하고 있다.

Although female entrepreneurship has started to receive scholarly attention, existing literature narrowly focus on firms founded by women or female founders thereby causing a lack of understanding about the antecedents of female entrepreneurship at a general level. To address this gap in the literature, the aim of our study is to explore the impact of organizational culture on female entrepreneurship. Specifically, we examine whether the horizontal nature of firms' organizational culture enhances female entrepreneurship. Futhermore, the moderating role of career self-management behavior is examined. Our empirical analysis is based on the third survey of 2022 Korea Women Manager Panel (KWMP) conducted by the Korea Women's Development Institute. All hypotheses were supported. We find that when companies have more horizontal organizational culture in place, the level of female entrepreneurship increases. Moreover, the positive relationship between horizontal organizational culture and female entrepreneurship is stronger when female employees are more proactive in career self-management behavior in order to achieve their individually set career goals. Overall, our study contributes to the literature on female entrepreneurship by providing implications for its antecendents.
