Abstract

Behavioral economics studies explain that individuals can often make wrong decisions due to their inaccurate calculations, errors in their estimates, and cognitive bias. A kind of choice architecture, known as a nudge, is designed in such a way to generate individuals’ behaviors in favor of both the state and themselves. The automatic enrollment system (AES) implemented in the public economic policies in Turkey is one of the nudging practices. This study aims to reveal whether or not The Big Five Personality Scale personality traits of the public and private sector employees, which are specified in the sub-groups of responsibility/insensitivity and compatibility/incompatibility, are effective on preferring to remain in the AES. In this study, it is revealed that the preferences of those who participated in the AES have a significant relationship with the specified personality traits, and the preferences of those who did not participate in the AES have a significant relationship with their income.

Özet

Bireylerin genellikle çok detaylı hesap yapmamaları, tahminlerindeki hatalar ve bilişsel ön yargılar nedeniyle yanlış kararlar alabildiğini davranışsal iktisat çalışmaları açıklamaktadır. Bireylerin davranışlarını hem devletin hem de kendilerinin faydalarına olacak şekilde dürtme adı verilen bir çeşit seçim mimarisi dizayn edilmektedir. Türkiye’de kamu iktisadi politikalarında uygulanan otomatik katılım sistemi dürtme uygulamalarından birisidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı kamu politikalarının küçük bir sosyal dürtmeyle dizayn edilebileceği yolundan hareketle kamu ve özel sektör çalışanlarının Beş Faktör Kişilik Ölçeği kişilik özelliklerinden sorumluluk/duyarsızlık ve uyumluluk/geçimsizlik alt grubunda belirtilen özelliklerinin otomatik katılım sisteminde kalma tercihinde etkili olup olmadığının ortaya çıkarılmasıdır. Bu çalışmada OKS’ye katılanların tercihlerinin belirtilen kişilik özellikleriyle, katılmayanların ise katılmama tercihlerinin gelirleriyle anlamlı bir ilişkisi olduğu ortaya çıkarılmıştır.
