글로벌화 시대의 역동적 경영환경 측면에서나 국가경제 전략측면에서 볼 때 창업활동은 경제의 유연성, 산업구조와 노동시장의 유연화, 국가경제의 균형적인 발전에 그게 기여하고 있다. 이에 창업활동이 성장의도를 매개로 기업성과에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 연구목적은, 현재 중국에서 기업경영하고 있는 기업가들 402명을 대상으로 어떤 영향이 있었는지를 확인하고 발견하기 위한 것이다. 본 연구에서 창업활동은 창업가의 주관적 활률(실현가능성)에 대한 믿음으로, 성장의도는 최고경영자인 기업가의 성장에 대한 의지로 정의되었으며, 기업성과는 기업의 비재무적 성과로 측정되었다. 다중회귀분석 방법을 활용해서 연구가설을 검정한 연구결과에 따르면 제시된 가설 모두가 채택되었다. 즉 중국기업가의 창업활동이 성장의도 및 기업성과에 모두 유의한 정(+)영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 성장의도가 기업성과에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 성장의도가 매개효과를 가졌는지 검정하는 결과에서는 성장의도가 보완적 부분매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 중소기업 창업가의 창업프로세스과정에서의 관련된 첫 탐색적인 연구로서 공헌점이 적지 않다. 가령 창업전체 프로세스에서 살펴볼 수 있는 중요 변수들 간의 인과관련 모형을 토대로 한 탐색적 이론적 검토 및 실증적 검증 모두를 살폈다는 공헌은 인정할 만하기 때문이다.
