Din ve Girişimcilik

Year 2019, Volume: 10 Issue: 3, 508 - 521, 23.10.2019

Abstract

Dini inanışların değerler yoluyla
girişimsel davranışlar üzerinde etki oluşturabileceğini öneren bu çalışma
literatür taraması yöntemiyle yapılmıştır. Sosyolojik bir olgu olan din olgusu
ve kurumunun yeni kurumsal kuram çerçevesinde bireylerin girişimcilik
davranışları üzerinde etkili olabileceği düşünülmüştür. Bu çerçevede ilk olarak
eksen çağı olarak adlandırılan ve kültürel yaşamın hemen hemen bütün
alanlarında bir dönüm noktası olarak kabul edilen bir dönem irdelenmiştir.
Müteakiben günümüzde yaygınlığı açısından öne çıkan dini inanışlar sırasıyla
irdelenmiştir. Bu çerçevede Eksen çağından sonra Hinduizm, Budizm, Yahudilik,
Hıristiyanlık ve İslamiyet açısından girişimcilik irdelenmeye çalışılmıştır.
Günümüzde  mevcut yaygın dinlerin ele
alındığı bu çalışma dini inanışların özerklik, risk alma, yenilikçilik ve
yaratıcılık davranışları üzerindeki etkileri yoluyla girişimcilik
davranışlarını yorumlamaya çalışmıştır. Araştırma Ajzen’in (1991:108)
planlanmış davranışlar kuramı çerçevesinde dizayn edilmiş ve uygulanmıştır.
