Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the factors influencing performance of internal, external environment and entrepreneurship in the social enterprise with network activity. This model tests various theoretical research hypotheses relating to performance of social enterprise, internal, external environment, entrepreneurship and network activity. The proposed model is analyzed to target social entrepreneurs. The results of hypothesis testing are as follows. First, organizational culture positively influence entrepreneurship. Second, environmental uncertainty positively influence entrepreneurship. Third, entrepreneurship positively influence managerial and social performance. Finally, organizational culture to entrepreneurship for high group of network activity is significantly larger than those for low group of network activity. In addition, environmental uncertainty to entrepreneurship for low group of network activity is significantly larger than those for high group of network activity.

본 연구는 사회적 기업의 내부 및 외부 환경요인과 기업가정신이 사회적 기업의 성과에 영향을 미치는 요인과 네트워크 활동의 조절효과를 검증하는 것이 목적이다. 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해서 사회적 기업의 성과, 내부 및 외부 환경, 기업가정신과 네트워크 활동에 관한 이론적 배경을 바탕으로 연구모형과 가설을 설정하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 연구모형을 사회적 기업가를 대상으로 분석하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 조직문화가 기업가정신에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 환경 불확실성이 기업가정신에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 셋째, 기업가정신이 사회적 기업의 경영성과 및 사회적 성과를 향상시키는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, 네트워크 활동에 따라 기업가정신에 미치는 영향력에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 네트워크 활동이 높은 집단이 낮은 집단 보다 조직문화가 기업가정신에 미치는 영향력이 더 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 네트워크 활동이 낮은 집단이 높은 집단 보다 환경 불확실성이 기업가정신에 미치는 영향력이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다.
