Abstract

As youth employment has become a social issue every year, the government is pushing for policies to support youth start-ups to create jobs voluntarily as a way to enhance the youth employment rate. In the case of young people in Gangwon Province, the number of people moving to other regions is increasing. This research is intended to empirically analyze the actual achievements of youth start-ups through the 'Youth Start-up Project' in Gangwon-do. It was divided into four categories: participation in government support, education completion, intellectual property right retention, and certification retention, which are characteristics of start-up companies, and hypotheses that they will have a positive impact on start-up performance (sales amount, duration of existence, or whether they are retained or not). Age and geographical factors (Yeongdong and Yeongseo) were injected as control variables to see how they affect them. Furthermore, empirical analysis was conducted by setting up a hypothesis that the characteristics of start-up companies and subsequent support between start-up performance would have a positive intermediary effect. The research results showed that the remaining characteristics, except for education completion, had a positive impact on sales, and that the more participation in government projects, the longer the duration of the company's existence. In addition, the level of participation in government support projects was significant in the direction of the government. The analysis results of the parameter, follow-up support, had a positive impact on the start-up performance, and the subsequent support mediating effect showed the mediating effect of the start-up performance, except for geographical factors. The results of this study suggest the need for customized support suitable for the characteristics of youth start-ups in order to enhance the performance of young start-ups. Support agencies need to refer to corporate characteristics for smooth management and selection. In the Gangwon-do area, the government should seek to provide timely and organic support for start-up companies in order to produce successful start-up cases.

청년취업은 매해 사회적인 이슈가 되면서 정부에서는 청년취업률 제고방안으로 자발적인 일자리 창출을 위하여 청년창업 지원정책을 추진 중에 있다. 강원지역의 청년들의 경우 타 지역으로 전출하는 인구수가 높아지고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구는 강원도에서 추진 중인 '청년 창업 프로젝트'를 통해 실질적으로 청년 창업에 어떤 성과를 보였는지 실증적으로 분석하고자 한다. 창업기업의 특성인 정부지원 참여도, 교육이수 정도, 지식재산권 보유정도, 인증 보유정도인 4가지로 분류하고 창업성과(매출액, 존속기간, 존폐여부)에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 것이라고 가설을 설정하였다. 통제변수로 나이와 지리적 요인(영동·영서)으로 투입하여 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보았다. 나아가, 창업기업 특성과 창업성과 간의 후속지원이 긍정적인 매개효과를 나타낼 것으로 가설을 설정하여 실증분석 하였다. 연구결과는 교육이수를 제외하고 나머지 특성은 매출액에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤고, 정부사업 참여도가 많을수록 기업 존속기간이 긴 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 기업의 존폐여부에 대해서는 정부지원사업 참여도가 정(+)의 방향으로 유의한 결과를 보였다. 매개변수인 후속지원에 대한 분석결과는 창업성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤고 후속지원 매개효과에서는 지리적 요인을 제외한 나머지 특성 모두 창업성과간의 매개효과가 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 통해 청년 창업기업의 성과제고를 위하여 (예비)청년창업자 특성에 적합한 맞춤형 지원의 필요성을 시사하고 있다. 창업지원기관에서는 원활한 기업 관리와 선정을 위하여 기업 특성들을 참고해볼 필요성이 있다. 강원도지역에서는 성공적인 창업사례를 도출하기 위하여 창업기업의 시기별 유기적 연계지원을 강구해야할 것이다.
