조직구성원이 인지하는 사내기업가정신이 창업의도에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구: 창업지원제도인식의 조절효과를 중심으로

Amid the increasing uncertainty of today’s business environment, corporate entrepreneurship has emerged as a critical strategy for ensuring firms' sustainable growth and innovation. However, limited empirical research has explored how employees’ perceptions of internal entrepreneurial conditions and organizational support influence entrepreneurial intention. Addressing this gap, this study utilizes the Corporate Entrepreneurship Assessment Instrument (CEAI) to measure five dimensions—managerial support, work discretion, rewards/reinforcement, time availability, and organizational boundaries—and examines their impact on entrepreneurial intention. In addition, the moderating effect of employees’ perceptions of en trepreneurial support systems is investigated. A survey was conducted with 323 employees across companies of varying sizes, and data were analyzed using SPSS 23. Multiple regression and hierarchical regression analyses were performed to test the hypotheses. The findings reveal that only managerial support significantly and positively influences entrepreneurial intention, whereas work discretion, rewards/reinforcement, time availability, and organiza tional boundaries exhibit no significant effects. Furthermore, employees’ perceptions of entrepreneurial support systems strengthen the relationship between managerial support and entrepreneurial intention, as well as between time availability and entrepreneurial intention. However, firm size does not have a significant direct or moderating effect on entrepreneurial intention. These findings suggest that fostering an organizational culture characterized by strong managerial support and sufficient time for innovation is crucial for enhancing employees' entrepreneurial intentions. Merely expanding work discretion or improving reward systems may be insufficient. Companies should prioritize creating environments where innovative ideas are actively supported and employees are provided with the necessary time resources to pursue them. Moreover, enhancing employee awareness and engagement with entrepreneurial support programs can further amplify these effects. From a practical standpoint, firms are encouraged not only to design and implement entrepreneurial support programs but also to actively promote and facilitate access to these resources among employees. From a policy perspective, integrating corporate initiatives with public entrepreneurship support programs —such as incubators, R&D funding, and tax incentives—may further enhance the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Achieving this requires coordinated efforts to actively promote these support programs and facilitate their effective utilization within corporate environments. This study contributes to the literature by empirically verifying the causal relationship between perceptions of corporate venturing environments and entrepreneurial intention, and by highlighting the moderating role of entrepreneurial support system perceptions. Furthermore, it extends the applicability of the CEAI model to the Korean corporate context, offering valuable insights into the cultural and organizational factors that may either foster or inhibit entrepreneurial behavior among employees.
