초록

This study investigated the impact of entrepreneurial spirit and motivation to start a business for foreigners who have studied abroad in Korea and start a business. In particular, by using study abroad experience as a moderating variable, this study tried to investigate whether this had a moderating effect on entrepreneurial performance. For this study, the current status and motives of foreign entrepreneurs in Korea were examined, and how their start-up motives and entrepreneurial spirit are related to the start-up performance. In addition, research hypotheses were established based on various articles and literature related to foreign students studying in Korea. For data collection, responses were obtained from foreign entrepreneurs with study abroad experience, including both individual and corporate entrepreneurs. The results verified that entrepreneurship motivation has a positive effect on startup performance(Hypothesis 1) and that entrepreneurship has a positive effect on startup performance(Hypothesis 2). It was also verified that studying abroad experience had a positive effect as a moderating effect between entrepreneurship motivation and entrepreneurial performance(Hypothesis 3), but it was not supported that studying abroad experience had a positive moderating effect between entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial performance(Hypothesis 4). Studying abroad experience by itself does not play a positive role in entrepreneurial performance, but it was found to have the moderating positive effect between entrepreneurial motivation and entrepreneurial performance. Based on the revealed results, theoretical and practical implications were presented.
