Abstract

The government is actively implementing a start-up infrastructure and start-up support policy for successful start-up companies. However, the actual success rate of start-up companies is not high. In order to improve the performance of a start-up company, it is necessary to have a strategy that has the right entrepreneurship and efficiently utilizes its resources. In particular, opportunity exploration, resource acquisition and resource reorganization are dynamic capabilities that are very necessary for the growth of a start-up company. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to verify the effects and relationships of entrepreneurship and dynamic competence of business startups on management performance. For this study, a survey was conducted on CEOs of start-up companies less than seven years old, and 361 final samples were used to analyze data. The results of this study are as follows. The innovation, risk-taking and initiative of entrepreneurship were found to have a positive effect on dynamic capabilities. Second, the innovation and risk-taking of entrepreneurship had a significant positive effect on management performance, but initiative was found to have no significant effect. Third, it was found that dynamic capabilities had a significant positive effect on management performance. Lastly, the verification of the mediated effect of dynamic capabilities showed that there was a mediated effect between initiative and management performance. In other words, this study found a significant research result that effective management of the resources of a start-up company had an effect on management performance and growth when forwardness did not directly affect management performance. This suggests that dynamic capabilities are an important factor in the management performance of start-up companies.

정부는 창업기업의 성공적인 성과를 위해 창업인프라 구축과 창업 지원정책을 적극적으로 펼치고 있다. 그러나 실질적인 창업기업의 성공률을 높지 않다. 창업기업의 성과를 높이기 위해서는 무엇보다 올바른 기업가정신을 갖추고 기업의 자원을 효율적으로 활용하는 전략이 필요하다. 특히 기회탐색, 자원획득, 자원재구성 능력은 창업기업의 성장에 있어 매우 필요한 동적 역량들이다. 그러므로 본 연구는 창업기업의 기업가정신, 동적역량이 경영성과의 미치는 효과와 관계를 검증하는 목적이 있다. 본 연구를 위해 7년 미만 창업기업 CEO를 대상으로 최종 361개 표본을 수집하여 SPSS18와 AMOS21를 사용하여 연구모형을 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 기업가정신의 혁신성, 위험감수성, 진취성은 동적역량에 긍정적인 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 기업가정신의 혁신성과 위험감수성은 경영성과에 유의미한 정(+)의 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으나, 진취성은 유의미하지 않은 결과가 도출되었다. 셋째, 동적역량은 경영성과에 유의미한 정(+)의 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 동적역량의 매개효과 검증에서 진취성과 경영성과 사이에 매개효과가 있음을 검증하였다. 즉, 본 연구에서 진취성이 경영성과에 직접적인 긍정의 영향을 미치지 않을 때 실질적인 창업기업의 자원을 효율적으로 운영한다면 경영성과와 성장에 영향을 미친다는 유의미한 연구결과를 밝혔다. 이는 창업기업이 지속적으로 성장하기 위해서는 동적역량이 중요한 변수임을 시사하고 있다.
