İç Kontrol Odaklı Girişimcilik Ölçeği Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Öz

Girişimcilik, ülke ekonomilerinin büyümesine katkı sağlayan önemli faktörlerden biridir. Değişen koşullara uyum sağlayabilmek için akademisyenlerin bireysel olarak girişimciliğe yönelik çabalarının olduğu görülmektedir. Bu doğrultuda araştırmada akademisyenlerin iç kontrol odaklı girişimcilik eğilimlerini tespit edebilmeye yönelik geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek geliştirmek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini Türkiye genelindeki üniversitelerde görev yapan akademisyenler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemini basit seçkisiz örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilmiş olan 571 akademisyen oluşturmaktadır. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda 7 faktör belirlenmiştir. İç kontrol odaklı girişimcilik ölçeğine ilişkin Cronbach Alpha katsayısı 0.894 değeri ile çok yüksek bulunmuş ve geliştirilmiş olan ölçeğin akademisyenlerin iç kontrol odaklı girişimcilik eğilimlerini ölçebilecek geçerliğe ve güvenirliğe sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
