Abstract

This research is intended to identify how office worker's recognition of strength affects the intention of starting a business when it is used as a medium for utilizing strength. The survey period was conducted for two months from January 17, 2019 to March 8, 2019. In order to achieve the object of this study, a significant number of employees have been collected nationwide, and 287 office workers were analyzed after collecting 300 questionaires, excluding 13 office workers who were not sincere. The significant data were analyzed by utilizing the structural equation and technical statistics and by verifying the conformity of structural model and measurement model and by investigating the relationship between variables. The results of this study are summarized as follows: First, employee's perception of strength has been found to have a significant effect on the utilizing of strength. Second, the use of workers' strengths has been found to have a significant effect on the intention of starting a business. Third, it has been confirmed that in the relationship between the employee's perception of strength and intention to start a business, the recognition of strength has a significant effect on the intention of starting a business only through the use of strength. Most office workers are nervous about the future and make various plans. The time to live after retirement is getting longer and jobs and working hours are shrinking at an alarming rate. According to the analysis on the status of small business owners in the mid-term of 2017 data, the average monthly operating profit of small business owners across the country is decreasing over the years, and most start-ups are subsistence-type start-ups, and they decide to start their own businesses because they have no other choice than start-ups. As the number of small business owners suffering from financial difficulties has increased since the financial crisis and insecurity of job is pushing those with financial difficulties after retirement to the battleground of the start-up market, the result of this research suggest that the workers need to recognize their own strength and enhance the importance of utilizing the strength.

본 연구는 직장인을 대상으로 강점인식이 강점 활용을 매개로 하였을 때 창업의도에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 확인하고자 하였다. 설문기간은 2019년 1월 17일부터 3월 8일 까지 2개월간 진행했으며 이런 내용의 연구 목적 달성을 위해 전국 직장인을 대상으로 유의 표집 하였으며 설문지 300 부의 설문지를 회수 후 성실하지 못한 13부를 제외한 287 명에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 유의 표집 된 자료는 구조방정식 모형 분석과 기술 통계분석을 활용 분석하는 과정을 거쳤으며 구조모형의 적합도와 측정모형의 적합도를 확인 변수간의 관계를 분석하는 과정을 거쳤다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같이 정리 한다. 첫째 강점인식은 강점 활용에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인 되었다. 둘째 강점 활용은 창업의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 대부분의 직장인들은 미래에 대하여 불안해하며 다양한 계획들을 세운다. 은퇴 후 살아가야 할 시간은 길어지는데 일자리와 근무 시간은 너무나 빠른 속도로 줄어들고 있고, 2017 중기 부 자료중 소상공인 실태 분석 자료에 의하면 전국 소상공인들의 월평균 영업 이익은 해가 거듭 될수록 줄어들고 있으며 창업자의 대부분은 생계형 창업으로 창업 외에 다른 선택의 여지가 없어 창업을 결심한다. 금융위기 이후 경영상 어려움을 겪는 소상공인들은 갈수록 늘어나고 직장인의 고용불안은 은퇴 후 경제적인 어려움을 겪는 이들을 창업시장의 전쟁터로 내몰고 있음에 이와 같은 연구 결과는 선제적인 본인 스스로의 강점을 인식하여 창업을 준비하는 은퇴 후의 직장인들의 창업의지에 강정인식과 강점 활용의 중요성을 증진시키는 것이 필요함을 시사한다.
