국제 유학생의 창업에 대한 세계적 관심이 높아지고 있음에도 불구하고, 개인의 심리적 자원이 실제 창업 행동으로 어떻게 전환되는지는 아직 충분히 탐구되지 않았다. 본 연구는 한국 내 국제 유학생을 대상으로, 심리자본이 창업 의도와 행동에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 이 과정에서 문화적응역량의 매개 역할에 초점을 두었다. 심리자본 이론과 계획된 행동이론(Theory of Planned Behavior)을 기반으로, 180명의 유학생 데이터를 부분 최소자승 구조방정식모형(PLS-SEM)을 통해 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 희망(β = .204, p = .010), 자기효능감(β = .307, p = .006), 낙관주의(β = .323, p < .001)는 문화적응역량을 유의하게 향상시키는 반면, 회복탄력성은 유의하지 않았다(β = .016, p = .844). 문화적응역량은 창업 의도 에 긍정적인 영향을 미치지만(β = .567, p < .001) 행동에는 직접적인 영향을 주지 않았으며, 창업 의도는 행동을 강하게 예측하였다(β = .465, p < .001). 또한 문화적응역량이 창업 행동에 미치는 간접효과는 창업 의도를 통해 유의하게 나타나(β = .264, p < .001), 완전매개 효과가 검증되었다. 본 연구는 심리학과 문화 적 관점을 통합함으로써 창업 이론을 확장하고, 대학과 정책입안자들이 유학생의 심리자원, 문화적응능 력, 제도적 지원을 강화하여 창업 참여를 촉진해야 함을 강조한다.

Although there is an increasing global interest in international students' entrepreneurship, how individual psychological resources are translated into actual entrepreneurial actions remains underexplored. This study examines the influence of psychological capital on the entrepreneurial intentions and behaviors of international students in South Korea, with a particular focus on the mediating role of cross-cultural competence. Based on the psychological capital and the Theory of Planned Behavior, data from 180 international students were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. Results show that hope (β = 0.204, p = 0.010), self-efficacy (β = 0.307, p = 0.006), and optimism (β = 0.323, p < 0.001) significantly enhance cross-cultural competence, whereas resilience is not significant (β = 0.016, p = 0.844). Cross-cultural competence positively influences entrepreneurial intention (β = 0.567, p < 0.001) but not behavior directly, while entrepreneurial intention strongly predicts behavior (β = 0.465, p < 0.001). The indirect effect of competence on behavior through intention is significant (β = 0.264, p < 0.001), supporting a sequential mediating mechanism and indicates that the impact of cross-cultural competence on behavior is completely mediated by intentions. This study expands entrepreneurship theory by integrating psychology and a cross-cultural perspective, and emphasizes that universities and policymakers need to take measures to enhance students' psychological resources, cross-cultural abilities, and institutional support, in order to promote the entrepreneurial participation of international students.
