창업기업가의 자존감, 우울감, 심리적 회복력이 창업 성과에 미치는 영향에 대한 실증분석

This study focuses on empirically analyzing the effects of entrepreneurs' self-esteem, depression, and psychological resilience on entrepreneurial performance, while also evaluating the effectiveness of the Integrated Psychological Support Program (IPS). Self-esteem was identified as a key psychological factor that allows entrepreneurs to positively perceive their abilities and maintain confidence in challenging situations. It was confirmed that entrepreneurs with higher self-esteem are more likely to achieve better performance outcomes. On the other hand, depression was shown to negatively affect creativity and motivation, thereby hindering performance. Notably, the interaction between self-esteem and depression played a significant role in determining entrepreneurial performance; higher self-esteem was associated with a reduction in the negative effects of depression. Finally, the IPS was found to positively influence entrepreneurs by enhancing self-esteem and reducing depression, ultimately leading to improved performance. This study highlights the necessity of support programs that address psychological factors in entrepreneurs and provides policy implications for enhancing entrepreneurial performance.
