Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand the role of institutions on the relationship between national culture and entrepreneurship as an indicator of economic development. The research hypothesis is; the increase of entrepreneurship in cultures with low power distance and individualism is more likely through the institutional quality in the country. The conceptual underpinning of this premise is the expectation that entrepreneurial attitudes, abilities, and aspirations will be stronger in more egalitarian and individualistic societies where business is regulated by formal mechanisms such as property rights, contract law, and competition law, rather than by personal relationships. After analyzing 85 country-level data compiled from secondary sources, it was revealed that the level of entrepreneurship increases as the institutional quality improves in cultures with low power distance and high individualism. This finding is important because it emphasizes that a new perspective is required to develop policies for promoting entrepreneurship in collectivist cultures with high power distance.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, toplumların kültürel özellikleri ile girişimcilik düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkide ülkedeki kurumların rolünü incelemektir. Araştırmanın hipotezi; kültürel boyutlar olarak güç mesafesinin düşük ve bireyciliğin yüksek olduğu ülkelerde girişimciliğin artış göstermesinin, kurumsal kalite aracılığıyla gerçekleştiğidir. Bunun mantıksal dayanağı, güç mesafesi düşük ve bireyci toplumlarda, şahsi ilişkilerden ziyade resmi yaptırım mekanizmalarının gelişmesiyle ortaya çıkan ticari düzende (mülkiyet hakları, sözleşmeler hukuku, rekabet yasaları vb.), girişimciliğe yönelik tutum, istek ve kabiliyetlerin artacağına ilişkin beklentidir. İkincil kaynaklardan derlenen 85 ülke düzeyinde veri istatistiksel olarak analiz edildiğinde, ilgili kültürel boyutlar ve girişimcilik arasındaki pozitif yönlü ilişkinin ülkedeki kurumların kalitesi aracılığıyla açıklanabildiği saptanmıştır. Bunun önemi, güç mesafesi yüksek ve toplulukçu kültürlerde girişimciliği geliştirme politikalarına dair yeni bir bakış açısı gerekliliğinin vurgulanmasıdır.
