Abstract

This study analyzed the effects of ICT technical characteristics of agricultural industry on smart farm entrepreneurial intention by using smart farm effort expectation and smart farm acceptance intention as mediators for smart farm pre-founders. Sub-variables of the technical characteristics of agricultural industry ICT were classified into availability, economics, data convergence and scalability. 349 questionnaires collected from pre-founders living in the country were used for empirical analysis. SPSS v22.0 and Process macro v3.4 were used to analyze the data based on serial multiple mediation model. First, economics and scalability had a positive (+) effect on start-up intention. Second, availability, economics and scalability had a significant effect on effort expectation. Third, effort expectation had a significant positive effect on acceptance intention. Fourth, acceptance intention had a significant positive effect on start-up intention. Fifth, the indirect effects of economics on start-up intention were all significant through effort expectation, through acceptance intention and through both effort expectation and acceptance intention. Sixth, the indirect effect of data convergence on start-up intention was significant through acceptance intention. Seventh, the indirect effect of scalability on start-up intention was significant through effort expectation and through both effort expectation and acceptance intention. As a follow-up study, it is necessary to study for the mediating variables other than mediators introduced in the study or the moderated mediation analysis through the conditional process model in which the moderating variable is introduced.

본 연구는 스마트팜 예비창업자를 대상으로 스마트팜 노력기대와 스마트팜 수용의도를 매개변수로 하여 농산업 ICT 기술적특성이 스마트팜 창업의도에 미치는 영향에 관하여 분석하였다. 농산업 ICT 기술적특성의 하위변수를 가용성, 경제성, 데이터융합성 및 확장성으로 구분하였다. 전국에 거주하는 예비창업자들로부터 수집한 설문지 349부를 실증분석에 사용하였다. SPSS v22.0과 Process macro v3.4를 사용하여 직렬다중매개모형을 기반으로 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 경제성과 확장성이 창업의도에 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 가용성, 경제성 및 확장성이 노력기대에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 노력기대는 수용의도에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 수용의도는 창업의도에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, 경제성이 노력기대를 매개하여, 수용의도를 매개하여, 노력기대와 수용의도를 매개하여 창업의도에 미치는 간접효과는 모두 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 여섯째, 융합성이 수용의도를 매개하여 창업의도에 미치는 간접효과는 유의적인 것으로 나타났다. 일곱째, 확장성이 노력기대를 매개하여, 노력기대와 수용의도를 매개하여 창업의도에 미치는 간접효과는 유의적인 것으로 나타났다. 후속 연구로는 ICT기반 농산업창업을 유도하기 위한 새로운 조절변수 발굴을 위한 연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다.
