Abstract

This study investigates the effects of demographic characteristics of individuals (age, gender, income level, education level, and work status) and their perceptions about themselves (networking, fear of failure, alertness to opportunities, self-confidence) on their involvement to the total entrepreneurial activities of Turkey. Data are collected through using the standard questionnaire of Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) project. The results show that being male, having higher income and education level, being self-confident, being alert to opportunities, and networking positively affect the likelihood of being an entrepreneur. However, contradictory to the literature and our expectations , fear of failure is not found to be a significant factor that influences the likelihood of being involved in the total entrepreneurial activities of Turkey

Özet

Bu çalışma kişilerin demografik özelliklerinin (yaş, gelir seviyesi, eğitim seviyesi ve çalışma statüsü) ve kendilerine karşı algılarının (ağ oluşturma, başarısızlık korkusu, fırsatlara karşı uyanıklık, kendine güven) Türkiye'deki girişimcilik aktivitelerine ilgilerine/katılımlarına olan etkisini incelemektedir. Veriler Küresel Girişimcilik İzleme (KGİ) projesinin standart anketini kullanarak toplanmıştır. Sonuçlar erkek olmanın, daha yüksek gelir ve eğitim düzeyinde olmanın, kendine güvenli olmanın, fırsatlara karşı uyanık olmanın ve sosyal ağ oluşturabilmenin girişimci olma olasılığını pozitif etkilediğini göstermektedir. Fakat literatüre ve beklentilerimize aykırı olarak, başarısızlığa karşı korkunun Türkiye'deki girişimcilik aktivitelerine ilgi/katılımı etkileyen önemli bir faktör olmadığı bulunmuştur.
