스타트업 종사자의 감성지능이 조직몰입에 미치는 영향: 자기효능감과 기업가지향성의 매개효과를 중심으로

[Purpose] This study aims to empirically analyze the structural relationships (Structural Relationships)among Emotional Intelligence, Organizational Commitment, Entrepreneurial Orientation, and Self－Efficacyamong employees in the startup environment, which has been relatively underexplored in prior research. [Methodology] This study conducted an extensive review of relevant theories and prior studies related to Emotional Intelligence, Entrepreneurial Orientation, Self－Efficacy, and Organizational Commitment, and derived research hypotheses based on the theoretical relationships among these constructs. A survey (Survey Research)was administered to employees currently working in startups. The collected data were analyzed using Descriptive Statistics Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test the proposed hypotheses. [Findings] First, Emotional Intelligence of startup employees was found to have no direct effect on Organizational Commitment. Second, the indirect effect of Emotional Intelligence on Organizational Commitment was stronger than the direct effect. Third, Entrepreneurial Orientation and Self－ Efficacy were found to have significant mediating effects (Mediating Effects) in the relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Organizational Commitment. [Implications] Previous studies on Organizational Commitment have largely focused on employees in general firms or large corporations, limiting the scope of analysis. By empirically examining the relationships among Emotional Intelligence, Organizational Commitment, Entrepreneurial Orientation, and Self－ Efficacy in the startup context, characterized by uncertainty and autonomy, this study provides meaningful theoretical and practical implications (Theoretical and Practical Implications).
