Kültür, benlik saygısı ve girişimcilik eğilimi: Amerikan ve Türk üniversite öğrencilerinde karşılaştırmalı bir çalışma

Bu çalışmada bireylerde girişimcilik davranışının ortaya çıkmasını etkileyen girişimcilik eğilimi Amerika ve Türkiye’deki üniversite öğrencileri üzerinde incelenmiştir. Öncelikle kültürler arası farklılıkları/benzerlikleri açıklamada sıklıkla kullanılan bireycilik ve toplulukçuluk boyutları ile benlik saygısı arasındaki ilişki araştırılmıştır. Ardından benlik saygısının girişimcilik eğilimiyle arasındaki ilişki iki ülke örneklemi üzerinde analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular yatay bireycilik ve dikey toplulukçuluk boyutlarının Türk üniversite öğrencilerinde daha yüksek olduğunu göstermiştir. Buna karşın benlik saygısı düzeyinde katılımcılar arasında bir farklılık bulunmadığı gibi benlik saygısı ve girişimcilik arasında bir ilişkiye rastlanmamıştır. Amerikan üniversite öğrencilerinin girişimcilik eğiliminin, Türk üniversite öğrencilerinin eğilimlerinden daha yüksek olduğu ve bu eğilim ile dikey bireycilik arasında olumlu bir ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır

Bu çalışmada bireylerde girişimcilik davranışının ortaya çıkmasını etkileyen girişimcilik eğilimi Amerika ve Türkiye'deki üniversite öğrencileri üzerinde incelenmiştir.
