The unexpectable depression of worldwide real economy is being our national threat so that significant shift of mind is needed. The government has set up the value of 'creative economy' and trying to establish foundational nation for each economic unit's epigyny emphasizing innovation based on mergence and creativity. One of their strategies is start-up assistance policy which is historically and globally unprecedented. To keep pace with such global stream, it is a matter of course to share the academic research and knowledge as a student studying venture opening. Therefore, I can assure that this research on how self construal can affect the path of a potential entrepreneur's business intension has practical value of background knowledge for developing aptitude and competence. Many researchers have come up with productive outcomes about entrepreneur's personal characteristics and recently it tends to be expanded to the psycological, social, and cultural background of how their characteristics are formed. This research is aimed at confirming internal and external factors that affect personal psycological path.
I carried analysis of actual proof into effect through literature research and surveys. The group of repondents are potential business entrepreneurs that have educational background in venture opening and specimens are current graduate students and graduates of venture opening.
Survey instruments are composed of self construal, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, learning orientation, entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intentions, also including demographic factors. Each variable's measurement tools of self construal are independent and interdependent self construal and those of entrepreneurial self-efficacy are foundation possibilities, validity and inclination of action. Also, learning orientation, entrepreneurship education are used to measure achievement motivation. The methods of the investigation are both personal visit and on-line survey.
The survey consists of 6 measurement standards, 45 questionnaires in total, and it was processed from November 4th to 8th, for 5 days. 140 copies of the survey were re-collected out of 150 copies, collect rate 92.8%, 127 copies were used for the final analysis excluding 3 untrustworthy ones.
For statistical analysis, by using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 18.0 statistics package program exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and correlation analysis was practiced. For testing hypothesis, χ2 distinction testing was processed through structure equation modeling analysis and the results refer to below.
First, people who tend to have independent self construal have high achievement motivation which leads to high entrepreneurial self-efficacy and form clear entrepreneurial intentions. Second, those with interdependent self construal also seem to affect similarly to entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intentions. Third, independent self construal, interdependent self construal and learning orientation also affected entrepreneurial intentions. Fourth, the significance of entrepreneurship education drew the opposite result from learning orientation : independent self construal tend to have not significance with entrepreneurship education but interdependent self construal do have significance. Entrepreneurship education seemed not to have any influence on entrepreneurial intentions which is different result from precedented research but it seems to be due to errors from measurement items and unsatisfactory quality of entrepreneurship education. Finally, inclination of learning orientation, the measuring variables of entrepreneurial self-efficacy, had moderating effect on entrepreneurial intentions by gender, but other things did not have moderating effect.
According to the result above, the tendency of self construal can draw an implication on the path to form the entrepreneurial intentions.
First, this study investigated how self construal affected entrepreneurial self-efficacy and learning orientation, and then analyzed how entrepreneurial self-efficacy and learning orientation influenced the entrepreneurial intentions. This drew the implication that potential entrepreneurs with independent self construal are more capable of increasing the efficiency and motivation by self-study and informative provision is more desirable.
Secondly, this study is to examine how the relationships among interdependent self construal, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and the entrepreneurial intentions. What the analysis results indicate is more about people with interdependent self construal, and they seem to have lower expectation on efficiency and motivation. So this lead to the conclusion that they can be more motivated when directly educated with the spirit of foundation through discussion so that they can be more confident about the foundation.
This research result have significance it proved from internal potential entrepreneurs the argument of Singelis(1994), "Despite the same nation or culture, people personally have two sides of self construal in different strength". Therefore, this research has significance in that it is the first research on how much independent and interdependent self construal can affect on foundation aiming people who pursue the same achievement of foundation and that it showed the path of the formation of entrepreneurial intentions grafting the factors of personal psycological changes.
