'Job creation' has become the conversation topic of the times as jobless growth, economic recession and youth unemployment continue. Foundation has been presented as a powerful alternative of employment issues in employing other labor as well as creating self-job, entrepreneurial activities can be factors of the country's economic development and the productivity's enhancement. Therefore, a role of latent founders with potentially entrepreneurial intention is important for entrepreneurial activation, the research for latent founders' characteristics and entrepreneurial intention is considered to be very necessary.
The purpose of this study is to analyze a path for the effects of gender schema of potential founders' personal characteristics, that is, masculinity or femininity of individual's self schema for the gender internalized with society and culture on entrepreneurial efficacy & achievement motivation and those of entrepreneurial efficacy & achievement motivation on entrepreneurial intention, and to verify a moderating effect on learning orientation between entrepreneurial efficacy and entrepreneurial intention, achievement motivation and entrepreneurial intention.
To this end, the survey was conducted targeting 180 persons including 80 university students taking a Venture management theory in C university and ~ persons involving in the process of social enterprise leaders, 150 copies among 158 copies collected were used finally. For the analysis, SPSS 8.0 and AMOS 18.0 were employed and through this, structural equation model was verified.
The results of the study were as follows:
First, masculinity of gender schema's sub-factors had a positive(+) effect on entrepreneurial promising and entrepreneurial feasibility of entrepreneurial efficacy's sub-factors, although femininity had a significantly positive(+) effect marginally on entrepreneurial promising, didn't a significant effect on entrepreneurial feasibility. Second, both masculinity and femininity had a significantly positive(+) effect on achievement motivation. Third, entrepreneurial promising and entrepreneurial feasibility had a positive(+) effect on entrepreneurial intention, and achievement motivation also had a limited positive(+) effect on entrepreneurial intention. At last, a moderating effect of learning orientation appeared between entrepreneurial feasibility and entrepreneurial intention.
The results derived provide the following implications
As founders' personal characteristics, psychological and social gender not covered previously, masculinity and femininity were variables, with regard to the effects on entrepreneurial intention. the differences between the two groups were demonstrated. Masculinity comparing to femininity had a high influence on entrepreneurial promising and entrepreneurial feasibility, achievement motivation, and had an impact on entrepreneurial intention. As a result, it'll suggest theoretical basis for future research for the relationships between gender schema and entrepreneurial efficacy, achievement motivation, entrepreneurial intention regarding entrepreneurial intention.
In addition, we can increase the probability which can be linked to foundation if using in selection by measuring gender schema when looking for promising founders, and propose the needs of developing an educational program to increase entrepreneurial intention by strengthening entrepreneurial efficacy and entrepreneurial feasibility in a group with strong femininity when designing entrepreneurial training.
