청년창업가의 개인역량이 창업의도에 미치는 영향: 창업멘토링의 조절효과와 창업효능감의 매개효과

There is a need to instill awareness that preparing a start-up for young entrepreneurs preparing to start a business can increase the success rate of start-ups and to induce them to become successful start-ups by understanding how to cultivate personal capabilities. The purpose of this study is to analyze the moderating effect of entrepreneurship mentoring and the mediating effect of entrepreneurship efficacy when the individual competency of young entrepreneurs affects entrepreneurial intention. The subjects of this study are young people aged 19-34 who have established a business in the metropolitan area within three years or who have completed a start-up program from the Korea Credit Guarantee Foundation. A hierarchical regression analysis was conducted on 384 copies of the effective samples collected by a survey of them. The results of the study are as follows. First, creative competency, network competency, and marketing competency, which are sub-variables of individual competency of young entrepreneurs, each have a significant positive (+) effect on entrepreneurial intention, which is a dependent variable, and a significant positive (+) effect on entrepreneurial efficacy, which is a parameter. Second, it was found that start-up efficacy is partially mediated when the individual competency of young entrepreneurs affects start-up intention. Third, the moderating effect of entrepreneurship mentoring between individual competencies and entrepreneurial efficacy of young entrepreneurs was significant, and the interaction effect of independent and moderating variables was also significant. Fourth, as a result of analyzing the mediated moderating effect of entrepreneurship mentoring, it was found that entrepreneurship mentoring controls the indirect effect that appears through the mediation of entrepreneurship efficacy when the individual competency of young entrepreneurs affects entrepreneurial intention. The results of this study suggest that the greater the individual competency of young entrepreneurs, the more effective they can mentor startups, which increases their entrepreneurial efficacy, thereby enhancing their entrepreneurial intention.
