Abstract

    Entrepreneurial
personality traits emerge as dominant variables in the comprehensive of the conceptual dimension of entrepreneurial
intention and interventional behavior. Approaches to personal traits
development of entrepreneurs have an essential and dominant significance for
modeling enterprise intent and desire on an individual scale. In essence, the
growth, profitability and sustainability dimensions of business ventures depend
on the personal traits of entrepreneurs. In addition to the big five personality traits (openness to experience,
conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, neuroticism) perspective; locus
of control, need for achievement, risk-taking tendency, creativity and other
wide range of personality traits have a
direct and mostly very positive effect on all processes of the
entrepreneurship. Personality traits also influence individual's tendency to enter and leave an entrepreneurial
activity, as well as in the process of running
and developing entrepreneurial ventures. Findings of this qualitative paper’s
explicitly pointed out how these entrepreneurial traits impact entrepreneurial
success. The predictable dimension of entrepreneurial traits has shown that the implications uttered here provide critically and antecedent inputs for parents and educators.

GİRİŞİMCİLİK BAŞARISINI ETKİLEYEN UNSURLAR: KİŞİLİK ÖZELLİKLERİ BAĞLAMINDA BİR ANALİZ

Abstract

Girişimci
kişilik özellikleri, girişimcilik eğilimi (niyeti) ve girişimsel davranışların
kavramsal boyutlarını anlamada baskın değişkenler olarak ortaya çıkar. Girişimcilerin
kişisel özelliklerinin geliştirilmesine yönelik yaklaşımlar, girişim niyetinin
ve arzusunun bireysel ölçekte modellenebilmesi için temel ve belirleyici bir
öneme sahiptir. Özünde, iş girişimlerinin büyüme, kârlılık ve sürdürülebilirlik
boyutları girişimcilerin karakter özelliklerine bağlıdır. Büyük beşli kişisel
özellik (deneyime açıklık, kendini bilme, dışa dönüklük, uzlaşılabilirlik,
kaygı durumu) perspektifine ek olarak; kontrol odağı, başarı ihtiyacı, risk
alma eğilimi, yaratıcılık gibi geniş yelpazedeki kişilik özellikleri de
girişimin tüm süreçlerine doğrudan ve çok büyük ölçüde olumlu anlamda etki
ederler. Kişilik özellikleri ayrıca, kişinin girişimcilik faaliyetlerine girme
ve bırakma eğilimleri üzerinde etki sahibi olduğu gibi, girişimleri sürdürme ve
geliştirme sürecinde de belirleyici unsurlardır. Bu çalışmada nitel araştırma
yaklaşımı kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın bulguları, adı geçen girişimci
özelliklerinin girişimci başarısını nasıl etkilediğini ortaya çıkarmıştır.
Ayrıca, girişimcilik kişilik özelliklerinin öngörülebilir boyutu, burada ortaya
konulmuş çıkarımların ebeveynler ve eğitimciler için kritik ve öncül veriler
sağladığını göstermiştir.
