Abstract

Das Ziel dieser Studie besteht darin, die unternehmerischen Absichten von Migranten- und Flüchtlingsstudenten in Hochschulen in Anbetracht der Theorie des geplanten Verhaltens (Theory of Planned Behavior) zu untersuchen. Die Studie basiert auf einem korrelativen Forschungsdesign. Insgesamt 214 freiwillige Migranten- und Flüchtlingsstudenten, die in Ankara, Istanbul und Konya studieren, nahmen an der Studie teil. Das Messinstrument wurde auf der Grundlage von Literaturstudien entwickelt. Die Daten wurden mittels struktureller Gleichungsmodellierung analysiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine positive Einstellung zum Unternehmertum, eine höhere subjektive Norm und eine höhere wahrgenommene Verhaltenskontrolle mit höheren unternehmerischen Absichten einhergehen. Insbesondere wurde die Einstellung als die wichtigste Einflussgröße auf die unternehmerischen Absichten identifiziert. Das entwickelte Modell erklärt 79% der Veränderungen in den unternehmerischen Absichten. Die Ergebnisse wurden unter Berücksichtigung theoretischer Erklärungen bewertet und es wurden Empfehlungen für die Hochschulpolitik an Universitäten und Forscher abgeleitet.

Examination of the Entrepreneurial Intentions of Foreign Students in Türkiye from the Perspective of the Theory of Planned Behavior

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the entrepreneurial intentions of migrant and refugee students in universities in the context of the Theory of Planned Behavior. The study is based on a correlational research design. A total of 214 voluntary migrant and refugee students studying in Ankara, Istanbul, and Konya participated in the study. The measuring instrument was developed based on literature studies. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results show that a positive attitude towards entrepreneurship, higher subjective norms, and higher perceived behavioral control are associated with higher entrepreneurial intentions. In particular, attitude was identified as the most influential factor on entrepreneurial intentions. The developed model explains 79% of the variance in entrepreneurial intentions. The results were evaluated by taking theoretical explanations into account, and recommendations for higher education policy for universities and researchers were derived from the study.
