TOPLUMSAL KÜLTÜRÜN ÜNİVERSİTE ÖĞRENCİLERİNİNİN GİRİŞİMCİLİK NİYETİNE ETKİSİ: SOSYAL AĞ KULLANIMININ ARACILIK ROLÜ

Abstract

Girişimcilik son dönemlerde ekonomik olgusunun yanında sosyal özelliklerinin ön plana çıkmasıyla çok önemli bir konu haline gelmiştir ve gün geçtikçe inceleme alanları artmaktadır. Girişimcilik, fırsatlardan yararlanarak var olan parçaları bir araya getirmek ve pazar payı oluşturmak olarak tanımlanabilir. Girişimcilik niyeti doğuştan gelen veya sonradan kazanılan özelliklerle, risk, karar verme ve yönetme gibi fonksiyonları kullanarak süreci hayata geçirme faaliyetidir. Girişimcilik niyeti bireysel ve toplumsal birtakım olgulardan etkilenebilmektedir. Kültür ve sosyal ağların da girişimcilik niyeti açısından önemli bir yere sahip olduğu değerlendirilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı toplumsal kültürel değerlerin öğrencilerin girişimcilik niyetlerine etkisinde, öğrencinin sosyal ağını kullanma şeklinin önemli bir aracı rolü olup olmadığının incelenmesidir. Girişimcilik Niyeti, Toplumsal Kültürel Değerler ve Sosyal Ağ Kullanımını ölçmek ve değerlendirmek için üç farklı anket kullanılmıştır. Anketler dört ayrı üniversitede öğrenim gören 358 öğrenciye uygulanmıştır. Anketlerden elde edilen veriler SPSS istatistik programında analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, toplumsal kültürel değerlerin öğrencilerin girişimcilik niyetlerine etkisinde sosyal ağ kullanımının, toplulukçuluk alt boyutu için kısmi, belirsizlikten kaçınma için tam aracılık etkisine sahip olduğunu göstermiştir
