Due to COVID-19, the entire world is facing the unprecedented phenomenon. Amid the threat of the virus, the global community is struggling for life. In such circumstances, churches in Korea have been criticised as selfish groups threatening the community by spreading the virus. With such criticism, they are disregarded by Korean society because their immorality and exclusive attitude towards other religions and cultures were also mentioned in public. There are many reasons for Korean churches to lose trust from people. One of the reasons for that is the quantitative growth of church and expansion of the power of church, which is a direction that has been practised so far as a missionary goal. The zeal for spreading gospel has undermined the trust of church and become a deteriorating factor for mission, which is irony. In such problematic situations, the change of paradigm is required for new mission. The passion for evangelisation should not only focus on the quantitative growth of church; it should change its direction for serving the world in lieu with the plan of God for the activity of redemption on this land. A hint of such mission can be found in ecumenical mission. Ecumenical mission is a new paradigm which was discussed in ecumenical movement led mainly by WCC, and its aim is to participate in activities of redemption of God for life in this world. Christian education has been a tool for the expansion of Christian power in the context of traditional mission. Reflecting on the role of Christian education as such, the change of direction as practical movement for the kingdom of God was tried in ecumenical movement: the beginning of the discussion of Christian education based on ecumenical mission. Due to exclusivity, aggressive mission, and the excessive attention to the system of ecclesiastical authority rather than life, Korean churches, which have lost trust in this society, should recover themselves as the model of the kingdom of God, and the establishment of mission education based on ecumenical mission is required for them to become a community towards life. Furthermore, this is an urgent task for Korean churches to implement such mission education in a church community.

한국 대중문화의 발전과 더불어 국내외에서는 한류라는 브랜드로 대한민국의 문화와 대한민국 자체에 대하여 많은 호감과 함께 질투의 시선을 보내고 있다. 이러한 대한민국의 대중문화산업은 이제 대한민국을 벗어나 우리만의 문화가 아닌 세계를 지향하며 공감대를 형성하는 문화로 발전하고 있으며, 대중적인 인기를 얻고 있는 스타들이 문화첨병의 역할을 하고 있는 상황이다. 이제 한국의 대중문화는 우리만의 것이 아닌 세계인과 소통하고 나누어야 하는 문화인 것이다. 대한민국의 문화산업은 이제 가파른 성장만이 아닌 기본에 충실한 역사와 철학을 수반해야 할 것이며, 대중에 대한 사회적인 책임과 역할을 수행함으로써 더욱더 세계의 문화와 교감하며 발전해 나갈 수 있을 것이다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 대중들의 사랑을 통하여 성장하는 스타들의 사회적 기여와 그 활동에 대한 사례를 살펴보고 한류의 지속적인 발전과 문화 창출을 위한 올바른 소셜테이너로서의 책임 및 역할과 지구공동체를 위한 힐링 소사이어티에 대하여 고찰해 보고자 한다.

사회적 기업가정신은 기업가정신 분야의 연구에서 많은 학자와 산업계의 관심을 받고 있는 주제이다. 특히 사회적 기업을 창업하거나 사회적 기업에서 일하고자 하는 사람들은 일반 사람들과 다른 어떤 특성을 가지고 있는지에 대해 선행 연구들은 공감, 도덕적 판단, 지각된 사회적 규범 등의 요소들로 설명하고 있다. 이는 전통적인 기업의 창업자와 비교되며, 사회적 기업가정신에 중요한 선행요소라고 말하고 있다. 그러나 공감능력이 뛰어나고, 공동체에서 사람들과 잘 어울리며, 남을 돕기 좋아하는 사람들이 반드시 사회적 기업가적 의도가 높은 것은 아니며, 이런 특성을 가진 모든 사람들이 사회적 기업에서 일하고자 하는 것은 아니다. 사회적 기업가적 동기에 관한 선행 연구 중에 동기와 행동을 연결하는 복잡한 매커니즘에 대해 설명한 연구는 거의 없는 상황이며, 대부분 공감(Empathy), 사회적 자기 효능감(Social Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy), 도덕적 의무감 등의 요소를 규명하는데 집중되어 왔다는 한계가 있다. 본 연구는 지금까지 거의 연구되지 않았던 사회적 기업적 의도를 설명하는 타인 지향적 동기(other-oriented motives)와 사회적 기업 직업정체성에 관한 연구이다. 이를 통해 사회적 기업에 참여하려는 개인의 성향을 촉진시키는 요인은 무엇인지를 규명하고자 하였다. 전국 일반고, 특수목적고 및 특성화고등학교와 대안학교 학생 444명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 타인 지향적 동기요소인 친사회성 동기, 사회적 존재감과 사회적 기업 직업정체성의 관계 분석에 활용하였다. SPSS 26 버전을 활용하여 다중 회귀분석을 실시한 결과 사회적 기업에 대한 직업정체성에 친사회적 동기와 사회적 존재감은 긍정적인 영향을 미치고, 특히 사회적 존재감은 친사회적 동기와 직업정체성과의 관계에 부분 매개효과를 보였다. 결과적으로 역지사지 성향을 가지는 학생일수록 사회적 기업에서 일을 할 의도가 높아지고, 남을 돕고자 하는 의지가 높은 학생, 공동체 의식이 높은 학생일수록 사회적 기업에서 일을 하고자 하는 의지가 높다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 사회적 존재감은 이 과정에서 간접적으로 유의미하게 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 사회적 기업에 대한 직업정체성에 영향을 미치는 선행요인을 규명하고 사회적 기업에 참여하려는 개인의 성향을 촉진하는 요인이 무엇인지 규명했다는 데 의의가 있다. 그리고 이 요인들이 교육을 통해 강화할 수 있으므로 사회적 기업 창업가 육성에 대한 새로운 방향을 제시한다.
