Abstract

In the pursuit of sustained innovation within industries, the consistent emergence of high-growth potential startups is imperative. Despite the government's implementation of diverse investment-based policies aimed at fostering startup initiation, the inherent probability of post-establishment failure for startups remains substantial. This study examines the impact of internal factors on organizational commitment and corporate performance in startups. It emphasizes the significance of learning and networking orientation for commitment across various organizational aspects. Innovativeness affects emotional and normative commitment but not continuance commitment. Financial attributes and global orientation influence continuance commitment, while affective and continuance commitment significantly impact startup performance. Normative cohesion, however, does not significantly affect performance. These findings offer insights for optimizing human resource utilization in startups, benefiting both companies and governments in the evolving startup landscape.

산업의 지속적인 혁신을 위해서는 성장 잠재력이 높은 스타트업들이 지속적으로 나타나야 한다. 그동안 정부에서는 다양한 투자를 바탕으로 스타트업의 창업 지원 정책을 펴고 있으나, 여전히 스타트업은 창업 이후로 실패를 직면할 확률이 매우 높다. 이에 본 연구는 스타트업이 실질적으로 통제할 수 있으면서, 전략을 수립할 수 있는 내부적인 요인에 초점을 맞추어, 스타트업 내부 특성이 조직 결속을 통해 기업 성과에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 스타트업의 내부적 요인 중 학습 지향성과 네트워크 지향성은 모든 종류의 조직 결속 하위요인에 유의한 영향을 미치고, 혁신성은 정서적 결속과 규범적 결속에는 유의한 영향을 미치지만, 지속적 결속에는 유의하지 않은 것이 확인되었다. 반대로, 재무적 특성, 글로벌 지향성은 지속적 결속에는 유의한 영향을 미치지만, 정서적 결속과 규범적 결속에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 정서적 결속과 지속적 결속은 스타트업의 기업성과에 유의한 영향을 미치지만, 규범적 결속은 기업 성과에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과 및 시사점을 통해 오늘날의 환경을 반영한 스타트업의 인적자원 활용에 대한 발전 방향을 관련 기업 및 정부에 제공하고자 하였다.
