직장인의 직무불안정성과 창업의도의 관계 경로 연구: 수정 창업이벤트모델을 중심으로

The current social and business environment is deteriorating further due to the change in social structure caused by the 4th Industrial Revolution and the impact of COVID-19. Accordingly, the trend of revitalizing start-ups to create jobs and promote national growth by fostering start-up companies is being further emphasized. This study attempted to identify the route to induce middle-aged office workers who are forced to involuntary retirement and are exposed to job insecurity environments even though they have abundant experience and capabilities to start-ups. To this end, a research model was established based on the adjusted shapero’s entrepreneurial event model (ASEE) in consideration of the actual employment and start-up environment. In this study, it was confirmed whether the interaction between job insecurity and employability strengthens entrepreneurial intentions and what is the mechanism to explain the moderating effect of employability. Through this study, it was intended to contribute to derive a virtuous cycle structure of job creation and economic growth by revitalizing the start-up of office workers with specialized knowledge, skills, attitudes, experience, and networks. Summarizing the results of this study, first, it was found that the interaction between job insecurity and employability of office workers strengthens entrepreneurial intentions. Second, it was confirmed that the interaction between job insecurity and employability of office workers strengthens entrepreneurial in- tentions through perceived desirability and perceived feasibility. Third, it was confirmed that job insecurity of non-regular workers, perceived feasibility and employability of 50 years or older, and employability of those with more than 10 years of experience were high. Also, it was confirmed that perceived desirability and feasibility and entrepreneurial intentions of men were high.Therefore, in order to induce office workers with abundant capabilities to become entrepreneurs, it is necessary to strengthen their employability, start-up confidence, and positive perception of starting a business through job training and practical start-up education for non-regular workers. Middle-aged office workers who are forced to voluntarily retire despite their employability and confidence in implementing start-ups should expand support for start-ups such as in-house venture start-ups, senior start-ups, and hybrid start-ups. This will help them positively perceive and challenge start-ups. In addition, it is necessary to increase awareness of start-ups and systematically help prepare for start-ups by expanding job education, start-up education and support for women-specific start-ups for women.
