MESLEKİ TECRÜBE VE KİŞİLİK ÖZELLİKLERİNİN YATIRIM DAVRANIŞI ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ: AKADEMİSYENLER ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Yatırım davranışlarını etkileyen faktörler, çok boyutluluk arz etmekte olup yatırım sürecinin anlaşılabilmesi bakımından önemlidir. Bu kapsamda finansal uzmanların ayrı bir yeri olduğu söylenebilir. Zira genel olarak, finansal uzmanların aldıkları eğitim, deneyim, bilgiye erişim imkanı ve analiz yeteneği gibi avantajları olduğu ve dolayısıyla sıradan yatırımcılara kıyasla daha başarılı yatırım kararları aldıkları kabul edilmektedir. Bütün bunların yanında finansal uzmanlar da insandırlar ve karar alma süreçleri psikolojinin etkisi altındadırlar. Üniversitelerde muhasebe-finans alanında çalışmakta olan akademisyenler, fon yöneticileri, yatırım uzmanları, analistler gibi toplum açısından finansal uzmanlar olarak görülürler. Bu noktadan hareketle, bu çalışmada Türkiye’de muhasebe-finansman alanında çalışmakta olan akademisyenlerin yatırım davranışları araştırılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda, genel olarak mesleki tecrübe ve kişilik özelliklerinin farklı açılardan akademisyenlerin yatırım davranışları üzerinde etkili olduğu ortaya koyulmuştur.

THE EFFECT OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE AND PERSONALITY CHARACTERISTICS ON INVESTMENT BEHAVIOR: A RESEARCH ON ACADEMICIANS

Factors affecting investment behaviors are multidimensional and they are important for understanding the investment process. In this context, it can be said that financial experts have a different place in terms of financial investments. Because, in general, it is accepted that financial experts have advantages such as education, experience, access to information and ability to analyze and therefore make more successful investment decisions compared to ordinary investors. Besides all these, financial experts are also human and decision-making processes are under the effect of psychology. Academicians, working in the field of accounting-finance at universities are seen as financial experts in terms of society, such as fund managers, investment experts, and analysts. From this point on, in this study the investment behavior of academicians that working in accounting and finance in Turkey has been investigated. As a result of the study, it has been revealed that in general, professional experience and personality characteristics have an effect on the investment behavior of academicians from different points of view.
