Abstract

As the start-ups play an important role in the growth of the national economy, the government establishes various start-up support policies for each start-up stage. The purpose of this study is to clarify the effects of personal characteristics and start-up support policy on entrepreneurial intention and analyze the role of start-up support policy to control the relationship between personal characteristics and entrepreneurial intention. The results of the empirical analysis on potential entrepreneurs are as follows. Self - efficacy and autonomy, which are individual characteristics variables among entrepreneurship motivation, were found to have a significant effect on the entrepreneurial intention, supporting a number of previous research results. On the other hand, the risk taking was analyzed to have no effect on entrepreneurial intention. As a result of the regression analysis between the government policy and entrepreneurial intention, it were analyzed for financial support, technical support, management support, and physical infrastructure support to have a significant positive effect on entrepreneurial intention. In particular, the β value of “management support”, such as entrepreneurship education, market analysis, export, marketing, and mentoring support among the government policies, was 0.712, which is higher than the β value of other policies. It seems to have had the greatest influence on entrepreneurial intention. However, it was analyzed that indirect support projects such as management and infrastructure support relatively have no effect on entrepreneurial intention through interaction with individual characteristics variables. It was analyzed that the government funding and technical support having high confidence in oneself played a role of strengthening the entrepreneurial intention by positively interacting with the self-efficacy. On the other hand, in the case of high self-autonomy, funds and technical support play a negative regulatory role that binds autonomy; it is reducing the influence of self-autonomy on entrepreneurial intention. It can be inferred that the potential entrepreneur perceives that government funding restricts autonomy. Meanwhile, the total entrepreneurial infrastructures, which are the entrepreneurial process including business support such as entrepreneurship education, marketing support, market research and support for entrepreneurial space and research equipment, does not control the influence of the potential entrepreneur`s self-efficacy, autonomy and risk taking.
