ÖZELLİKLER BAĞLAMINDA GİRİŞİMCİNİN BEŞ FAKTÖR KİŞİLİK ÖRÜNTÜSÜ

Öz

Yeni bir firma kurmak veya çeşitli fırsatların farkına varma ve bunları kullanma kararlarında kişilik özelliklerinin bir rolünün olup olmadığı girişimcilik literatüründe tartışmalı bir konu olmuştur. Teorik açıdan ele alınan bu çalışma, girişimcilik faaliyetlerinde kişisel özelliklerin rolünü ortaya çıkararak, girişimcinin kişilik örüntüsünün nasıl olabileceğine odaklanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda özellikle günümüzde iş tatmini, liderlik ve iş performansı gibi örgütsel davranış alanlarında psikometrik geçerliliğini kanıtlamış olan beş faktör kişilik özellikleri irdelenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda literatürde kişilik özellikleriyle yapılan çalışmalarda elde edilen sonuçlar ışığında, girişimci kişinin dışa dönük, uyumluluğu düşük, özdisiplini yüksek, nevrotikliği düşük ve gelişime açık bir kişilik profili sergileyebileceği varsayılmıştır. Böylelikle mevcut çalışmanın, gelecekte yapılacak görgül araştırmalara ışık tutması yanında, özellik yaklaşımının girişimcilik literatüründe tekrar gözden geçirilmesi anlamında katkılar sağlayabileceği değerlendirilmiştir
