Bireysel Düzeyde Faktörlerin ve Girişimcilik Desteklerinin Kadın Girişimciliğine Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı kadın girişimciliğini arttıracak öneriler sunmaktır. Bu amaçla belirlenen bireysel faktörler ve devlet desteği faktörünün belirlenen hipotezlerle kadın girişimciliği üzerine etkisi test edilecektir. Çalışmada, bireysel faktörlerden; yaş, özgüven, başarısızlık korkusunun olmaması, girişimcilik tecrübesi, girişim fırsatı algısı, tanıdık girişimcinin bulunması, eğitim düzeyi gibi faktörler ile devletin girişimcilere sağladığı devlet desteği faktörünün test edilmesi için Küresel Girişimcilik Monitörü veri tabanına ait 80 ülkeyi kapsayan 2010-2016 yılları arası girişimcilik verilerinden istifade edilmiştir. Çalışma bulguları beklenenle paralel olarak bireysel faktörlerin kadın girişimciliği üzerine olumlu etkisinin olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca, ülke düzeyinde kadın girişimcilere sağlanan girişimcilik teşvikleri faktörünün de beklendiği gibi girişimcilikte bulunma problemlerini ortadan kaldırmada etkili olduğu ve dolayısıyla kadınların girişimcilik başlatma eğilimini arttırdığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Çalışma, güncel yönetim konularından biri girişimciliğe farklı bir bakış açısı kazandırmış ve ekonomik kalkınmanın öncüsü girişimcilik faaliyetlerine eğilimi arttırmaya yönelik önemli sonuçlara ulaşmıştır. Çalışma sonunda, kadınların girişimcilik faaliyeti başlatmaları üzerinde ilgili sektörde tecrübe edinmenin, iş yeteneklerini arttırıcı aktivitelerde bulunmanın ve ülke düzeyinde sağlanan finansal ve ekonomik boyutta devlet desteğinin oldukça olumlu katkısının olduğu gözlenmiştir.
