Purpose - This research examined the relationship between business orientation and business goals and satisfaction of Korean-American business owners. Research design/data/methodology - Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) and Small Business Orientation (SBO) were the theoretical constructs underlying this research. The responses from 200 Korean-American business owners who participated in the 2005 National Minority Business Owner Surveys were used for data analysis. Results - Noneconomic business goal was positively related to business owners' SBO tendency, and those with a SBO tendency had the higher business satisfaction than those with EO. Conclusions - The findings suggest that policy makers should develop business assistance programs that correspond with owners' business orientation.

Micro small business start-ups are receiving financial and marketing support from government or public authority, but business closure rate is very high and it causes a hugh burden to households and national economy. This study aims to verify the causal relationship between the self-determination characteristic of small business start-ups and entrepreneurial intention through learning orientation and innovation ability. The man's intrinsic motivation of self-determination theory is expected to have an impact on the entrepreneurial intention of small business start-ups. The self-determination theory includes perceived autonomy, perceived competence, perceived relationship as independent variables. This study presented a research model for explaining the entrepreneurial intention of small business start-ups, and collected 260 survey responses from the small business start-ups In order to validate the proposed research model, PLS analysis is performed with valid 246 questionnaires. By PLS technique, the measurement reliability and validity of research variables are tested and the path analysis is conducted to do the hypothesis test. Path analysis shows that perceived autonomy does not significantly affect the learning orientation and innovation ability. On the other hand, perceived competence significantly influences learning orientation and innovation ability. Perceived relationships had significant influence on learning orientation. It is found that the parameters of learning orientation and innovation ability significantly influence the dependent variable of entrepreneurial intention. Based on the results, a policy and strategy for supporting small business start-up are presented.

소상공인은 우리나라 전체 사업체의 84% 이상, 종사자의 36% 이상을 차지할 정도로 우리나라 경제의 중요한 주체이다. 국민경제의 근간이자 경제구조상 주요 축을 담당하는 소상공인들이 코로나 19 등 불확실성이 높은 환경에서 고통을 받고 있기에 이들에 대한 정책적 고려가 우선 시 되어야 하나 현실은 그렇지 않다. 이들이 직면한 위기를 극복하기 위해서는 자기 자신을 찾아내고 자신의 생각과 능력을 발견할 수 있도록 해야 한다. 즉, 소상공인 사업가가 지니는 자신의 독특성을 바탕으로 사업기회를 찾고 확보한 사업기회를 실천하는 것이 중요하다. 그런데 이러한 개인의 독특성은 개인의 성격요인에서 비롯한다. 또한 성격은 인간의 일상생활에 가장 큰 영향력을 끼치는 요소 중 하나로, 성격을 기반으로 인간관계가 형성된다. 따라서 소상공인이 지니는 기업가적 성격적 특성이 기업가정신으로 발현되고 이는 소상공인 사업체의 경쟁력과 사업성과에 크게 영향을 미칠 것이라는 것을 미루어 짐작할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 소상공인 기업가의 심리적 특성과 기업가정신과의 관계와 기업가정신과 소상공인 사업성과 와의 관계에 대해 알아보았다. 연구모형을 검증하기 위하여 대구지역 소상공인 기업가 총 202명을 대상으로 설문하여 확보한 데이터를 활용하였으며 수집된 자료를 SPSS와 AMOS로 분석하였다. 분석 결과 소상공인 기업가의 심리적 특성 중 포용성과 외향성을 제외한 나머지 심리적 특성은 모두 기업가 정신에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 기업가정신은 사업성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 아울러 정부의 소상공인 정책자금지원이 기업가정신과 소상공인 사업성과 사이에 정(+)의 조절효과가 있는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 소상공인 기업가의 심리적 특성과 기업가정신 간의 인과관계를 규명하고, 정부지원프로그램의 조절효과를 규명함으로써 향후 소상공인 지원 사업에 대한 다양한 정책적 시사점을 제공하고 있다. 또한 소상공인의 기업가정신이 소상공인 사업성과에 대한 정부정책자금의 조절효과는 소상공인 기업가를 위한 지속적인 금융지원이 필요함을 시사하고 있다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of CEO's entrepreneurial orientation on innovation performance and business performance, and the mediating effect of innovation performance on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and business performance in small and medium-sized venture-enterprises (SMEs). To test the hypothesized relationships, we have conducted a survey of Korean SMEs. After excluding unanswered and untrustful item questionnaires, the final sample size for this study is 110 SMEs. The major findings of the empirical research are as follows. First, CEO's entrepreneurial orientation had apositive influence on innovation performance of a firm. Second, CEO's entrepreneurial orientation was positively related to business performance of a firm. Third, innovation performance had the partial mediating effect on the relationship between CEO's entrepreneurial orientation and business performance of a firm. That is, this result indicates that CEO's entrepreneurial orientation indirectly effects on business performance through innovation performance. Based on these findings, implications of the research findings are discussed, and recommendation for future research are provided.

This study examined the influence of three elements of individual entrepreneurial orientation (IEO), namely innovativeness, risk-taking, and proactiveness on the performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It is worth noting that SMEs have experienced low productivity, low profit, and low performance during the COVID-19 pandemic era. Although several studies have shown that entrepreneurial orientation (EO) is a key factor of company performance, few have focused on IEO. This study employed a quantitative research design because all variables were measurable. It used a questionnaire to survey 384 SMEs in the service sector and employed structural equation modeling (SEM) in data analysis. The findings suggested that SMEs' performance was influenced by risk-taking and proactiveness. This could be related to the fact that SMEs have a less formal structure, allowing owner-managers to take risks and make quick decisions. Furthermore, high performance was ensured by being very sensitive to market trends and changes in the business environment. Innovativeness was not a significant factor in influencing the performance of SMEs. Perhaps it was rather difficult for SME owner-managers to be innovative due to the lack of various resources. This study successfully re-confirmed the effect of IEO on business performance and highlighted the importance of risk-taking and proactiveness in improving the performance of SMEs.

This paper aims to analyze the influence of innovation capabilities on the relationship between strategic orientation and the performance of women small and medium entrepreneurs (SMEs). The strategic orientation in this study used three constructs, namely market orientation, learning orientation, and technology orientation. The method of data collection was the survey method and was collected from 149 SMEs in the typical culinary industry in Indonesia using probability samples. The data analysis method uses path analysis. The results showed that the influence of strategic orientation on business performance has strengthened previous studies. However, in this study strategic orientation that directly affects business performance is market orientation and learning orientation, while technology orientation has no direct effect. The existence of innovation capability as a mediation variable strengthens the influence of strategic orientation on business performance. The results of this study also showed that the ability of innovation has a positive and significant effect on the performance of women entrepreneurs in Indonesia. The contribution of this research pays special attention to the strategic orientation of women entrepreneurs engaged in the culinary business in Indonesia.

본 연구는 소기업 CEO를 대상으로 기업의 성과에 영향을 미치는 창업기업가의 내적역량인 역경지수, 기업가지향성, 고객지향성간의 관계를 분석함으로서 이론적, 실무적 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. 기존의 국내 선행연구들처럼 내적역량을 기업성과에 대한 단일 차원의 함수관계로 분석하는데서 벗어나서, 창업기업가의 내적역량들 사이의 관계를 설명하려고 하였다. 역경지수를 독립변수, 기업가지향성을 매개변수, 고객지향성을 종속변수로 설정하여 실증분석을 하였다. 분석결과는 첫째, 역경지수의 하위요소인 통제력과 주인의식은 기업가지향성과 고객지향성에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 기업가지향성은 고객지향성에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 역경지수의 주인의식만이 기업가지향성의 매개를 통해 고객지향성에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 창업가의 주인의식은 기업가지향성을 통해 고객지향성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 한편, 역경지수의 하위요소인 지속성은 기업가지향성과 고객지향성에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 급변하는 뉴노멀 시대에서 창업가의 지속성은 더 이상 기업가지향성과 고객지향성에 큰 영향을 미치지 못하는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구는 창업기업가의 역량 중에서 우선 개발해야하는 역량이 무엇이고 함께 개발되어야하는 성향이 무엇인지에 대한 시사점을 준다. 나아가 정책적으로 창업지원 프로그램 설계 및 투자자의 투자기준의 가이드라인 설계 시 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.
