Üniversite Öğrencilerinin Girişimcilik Eğilimleri Üzerine Boylamsal Bir Araştırma

Amaç – Bu çalışmada, işletme bölümü lisans öğrencilerinin girişimcilik eğilimlerinin birinci ve dördüncü sınıfta farklılık gösterip göstermediğini tespit etmek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem – Çalışma, nicel ve boylamsal bir çalışmadır. Bu kapsamda öğrencilerin girişimcilik eğilimlerini ölçmek için 2015 yılı Ekim ayında ve 2019 yılı Mayıs ayında anket tekniği ile veri toplanmıştır. Girişimcilik eğilimlerini ölçmek için Koh (1996) tarafından geliştirilen, İşcan ve Kaygın (2011) tarafından Türkçe diline geçerlenen ölçek kullanılmıştır. Ölçek, kendine güven, yenilikçilik, başarma ihtiyacı, içsel kontrol odağı, risk alma eğilimi ve belirsizliğe tolerans boyutlarından oluşmaktadır. Bulgular – Çalışmanın sonunda, öğrencilerin birinci ve dördüncü sınıftaki girişimcilik eğilimlerinin anlamlı farklılık göstermediği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, öğrencilerin belirsizliğe karşı tolerans düzeylerinin olukça düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir. Tartışma – Öğrencilerin girişimcilik eğilimleri ekonomik koşullardan etkilenebilmektedir. Çalışmada aynı öğrenci grubundan farklı periyotlarda (2015 yılında ve 2019 yılında) veri toplanmıştır. Öğrencinin girişimcilik eğilimi veri toplanan dönemlerdeki ulusal veya uluslararası ekonomik koşullardan etkilenmiş olabilir. Ayrıca, araştırma verilerinin tek bir devlet üniversitesinin öğrencilerinden toplanması sonuçlar üzerinde etkili olabilir.

A Longitidunal Research on the Entreprenuership Inclination of University Students

Purpose – This study's aim is to investigate whether there is a significant difference between the entrepreneurship inclination of business students in their first year and fourth year. Design/methodology/approach – This article presents a quantitative and longitudinal study. In this context, data were collected with survey techniques in October 2015 and May 2019 to measure the entrepreneurial trends of students. The scale developed by Koh (1996) and validated in Turkish by İşcan and Kaygın (2011) was used to measure entrepreneurial inclination. The scale consists of self-confidence, innovativeness, need to achieve, intrinsic control focus, tendency to take risks, and tolerance to uncertainty dimensions. Findings – In the study's conclusion, the students do not exhibit a significant difference between entrepreneurship inclination of business students in their first year and fourth year. Moreover, the student's tolerance for ambiguity is very low. Discussion – The students' entrepreneurial inclinations can be affected by economic conditions. In the study, data were collected from the same group of students in different periods (in 2015 and 2019). The student's entrepreneurial inclinations may have been affected by national or international economic conditions during which data was collected. In addition, the collection of research data from students of a single public university can impact results.
