The purpose of this study is to identify the unique entrepreneurial behavioral attributes of social enterprises that are distinct from for-profit enterprises at the organizational level, derive a social entrepreneurship model that reflects the unique characteristics of social enterprises as strategic decision-making and organizational behavioral tendencies. In order to effectively achieve the purpose of this study, previous studies were reviewed, and qualitative studies were conducted using the grounded theory method based on this. In this study, social entrepreneurship was identified as five sub-factors through a series of analysis processes, and 'Social value orientation; Innovativeness; Pro-activeness; Risk taking; Cooperation orientation' was newly proposed. It also proposed a new social entrepreneurship framework that integrates and explains the multidimensional model of social entrepreneurship by reviewing and connecting the relationships between each sub-factor of the research model. The 'social entrepreneurship framework' classified the social entrepreneurship model into 'pro-social motivation', 'pro-social behavior', and 'entrepreneurial behavior' attributes and explained them by linking them with each sub-factor that constitutes social entrepreneurship. The most remarkable difference between this study and previous studies is that it identified and added 'Cooperation orientation' as a sub-factor constituting social entrepreneurship from the organizational-level behavioral point of view. Through this study, 'Cooperation orientation' was identified as a major behavioral tendency for social enterprises to materialize pro-social motivation, strengthen the economic foundation of business activities, and improve the efficiency of business operations. 'Cooperation orientation' is a major behavioral tendency that strengthens the legitimacy of business activities between pro-social motivation and profit-seeking of social enterprises, improves the performance of social value creation activities, and overcomes the difficulties of resource constraints through cooperation with the outside and improves operational efficiency. In addition, it was confirmed that 'Cooperation orientation' is a major behavioral tendency of social enterprises that is manifested simultaneously in social value-oriented activities and entrepreneurial activities pursuing profit. The 'Cooperation orientation' newly identified in the study supplements the previous research, increases the explanatory power of the theory of social entrepreneurship, and provides the basis for theoretical expansion to subsequent researchers.

OECD 국가들과 마찬가지로 한국의 청년실업문제는 매우 심각하다. 높은 청년실업문제는 경제성장에 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라 출산, 범죄 등의 심각한 사회적 문제를 초래할 수 있다. 창업은 단순히 청년들의 단기적 직업을 제공할 뿐만 아니라 미래 사회가 필요로 하는 인적자원을 개발시키는 역할을 담당하고 있다. 즉, 청년층인 대학생들의 창업을 북돋울 수 있는 방안과 연관된 연구는 매우 중요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 기업가정신이 창업동기에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 이들 관계에서조절초점성향의 조절효과를 검증하는 것이다. 본 연구를 위해 강원지역 대학생들을 대상으로 한 342부의 설문지가 최종분석에 사용되었다. 연구 분석을 통해 확인된 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 대학생의 기업가정신은 창업의도에 영향을 미칠 것이라는 가설을 설정했으며 실증연구에서 이를 확인할 수 있었다. 둘째, 기업가 정신이 창업의도에 미치는 영향에 있어서 성별의 조절효과를 확인하였다. 기업가정신이 남녀 모두에 있어 창업의도에 정(+)의 상관관계를 가지며 그 영향력은 남성에 비해 여성이 더 크다는 것을 확인하였다. 셋째, 대학생의 촉진초점이 남녀 모두에 있어서 창업의도에 정(+)의 상관관계를 가지며 그 영향력은 남성에 비해 여성이 크다는 것을 확인하였다.

There have been questions how entrepreneurs think, act and why individuals become entrepreneurs. The trait-based explanation of entrepreneurial activities has been main stream. However, the trait-based theory has been criticized because it assumes that entrepreneurial traits are inherited, stable and enduring over time. This research accepts the cognitive theory to see how entrepreneurs learn or accept others' values, how entrepreneurial perceptions of opportunity impact entrepreneurial actions and how individuals acquire the social legitimation of the formation of entrepreneurial activities. In order to capture the attitudes, activities and motivations of people who are involved in entrepreneurial activities, the author uses the GEM Korea 2016 data. The data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor(GEM) has been well known for the data to capture individuals early-stage entrepreneurial activities. This paper used the sample from the APS(Adult Population Survey) of the GEM which was completed by a representative sample of two thousand adults in Korea by the qualified survey vendor, with strict procedures and oversight by the GEM central data team. The hypotheses are tested with logit regression analysis to estimate the probability of the influence of perceptual variables such as individual perception in social learning, the opportunity recognition in the environment, and social legitimation in the entrepreneurial activities. Based on the results, individuals tend to have high entrepreneurial activities if individuals have high self-efficacy. Also, the existence of role models around the entrepreneurs encourages the individuals involve in entrepreneurial activities more however the perception of opportunity in the environment is not strongly associated with entrepreneurial activities. The media exposure of successful entrepreneurs is more important than others' perception of entrepreneurs on the desirable career option or respect from communities. This paper can contribute to the cognitive processes, particular perception about oneself, as well as perception which is impacted by a community or a society.

The start-up rate is increasing due to the government's start-up support policy, but it is true that the continuous survival rate and growth rate of companies are lower than that of the start-up rate. As part of increasing the survival and growth rate of startups, the importance of start-up mentoring has been highlighted, and companies selected for the Government's startup support project are increasingly having mentoring opportunities for corporate growth. In order to determine the relationship between start-up mentoring and entrepreneurial alertness as a way to generate management performance, this study examined how start-up mentoring affects entrepreneurial alertness and management performance. In addition, the government's support project was divided into companies with less than three years of start-up and companies with more than three years of experience, which are the criteria for early and leap companies, and analyzed whether each group has a moderating effect. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the mentoring problem-solving function had a significant effect on the ability to evaluate entrepreneurial alertness, and the motivation function of mentoring had a significant effect on all factors of entrepreneurial alertness. In addition, although mentoring functions did not have a moderating effect on entrepreneurial alertness depending on the work history between companies less than 3 years and companies for more than 3 years, there was a difference in factors affecting entrepreneurial alertness between groups with low and high work history. The implications of this study can contribute to the advancement of start-up mentoring programs by studying the impact of mentoring factors on entrepreneurial alertness when providing mentoring to start-up companies selected for the government's start-up support project.

This study is intended to look into the structural relationships between project manager's creative thinking, entrepreneurship, and project performance. To achieve this, research model and hypothesis were established to carry out statistical analysis based on the results of an empirical sample survey. The findings showed that project manager's creative thinking didn't improve project satisfaction directly, but it improved project satisfaction through the mediating effects of project manager's entrepreneurship. While it had a direct effect on perceived project performance, project manager's entrepreneurship was not mediated in this process. This suggests that even if project managers have a high expertise, thinking skill and motivation as creative thinking in working on the project, they have the limitation in leading to customer satisfaction from a personal perspective.

최근 우리 사회는 코로나 19(COVID 19)와 4차 산업혁명으로 인한 노동시장의 불안과 더불어 매년 증가하고 있는 청년실업의 해결책으로 청년창업에 관심이 집중되고 있고, 창업지원 정책 또한 다양하게 시행하고 있다. 이와 관련 군에서도 일과 후 자기 개발을 통한 생산적 군 복무로 부대 전투력 극대화와 개인의 경력 단절 최소화를 위한 일환으로 2018년 부터 '청년 Dream, 국군 드림' 이라는 역점 사업을 추진 중에 있다. Dream의 알파벳중 'Ⓡ 창·취업 기회 제공(Raising Job Opportunities)'의 경우 2020년 3월 기준 육군은 약 870여개의 창업동아리를 운영하고 있다. 하지만 군부대의 특성상 전투임무 수행에 우선순위가 있다보니 창업동아리를 능동적으로 운영하기에는 여러 가지 제약사항이 있으며, 군 창업동아리와 관련된 선행연구 또한 미천한 수준에 머무르고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 군 창업동아리 활동 장병 200명을 대상으로 '군 장병의 개인 특성(성취욕구, 자기효능감, 동기부여)과 기업가정신(혁신성, 진취성, 위험감수성)이 창업의지에 미치는 영향'을 분석해 보는데 있다. 이를 통해 군 장병을 대상으로 하는 군 창업동아리 활동이 지속적으로 운영 될 수 있는 방안을 모색해 보고, 실질적인 교육지원 방향을 제시하는 등 군 조직 역량 강화와 개인 발전, 그리고 군 창업동아리 활성화 방안에 대해 논의해 보고자 한다.

The extant entrepreneurship research has emphasized the development of businesses by recognizing and exploiting new opportunities rather than the development of people in organizations. To remedy this issue, scholars recently suggested the concept of humane entrepreneurship where the traditional view on entrepreneurship is enhanced by the human-centered logic. However, more scholarly work is needed to develop the concept of humane entrepreneurship as a new perspective of the entrepreneurship research domain. In this article, we attempt to enhance the research on humane entrepreneurship by suggesting its theoretical foundations and identifying the underlying dimensions of humane entrepreneurship with empirical data. This study suggests the five disciplines in management studies as theoretical foundations of humane entrepreneurship: strategic entrepreneurship, stakeholder theory, transformational leadership, motivation theory, and humanistic management. Also, we developed the measurement of humane entrepreneurship and tested its reliability and validity by collecting data from 19 countries. The results showed that the concept of humane entrepreneurship is composed of two dimensions, humane and enterprise cycles. Finally, this study provides further research agenda in the domain of humane entrepreneurship research.
