Abstract

Girişimcilik niyeti, bireyin kendi işini kurmak ve çalıştırmak için istekli olması veya bu konuda kararlılık göstermesidir. Yaratıcılık ve politik yetenek ise girişimcilik niyetini etkileyen önemli faktörlerden bazılarıdır. Özellikle dört temel boyutu (iletişim ağı yeteneği, belirgin samimiyet, sosyal zekâ ve kişiler arası etkileşim) üzerinden tanımlanan politik yeteneğin; girişimcilik niyeti üzerinde etkisi olduğu düşünülmektedir. Politik yeteneğin yaratıcılık üzerinden girişimcilik niyetine aracı bir etkisi olup olmadığı araştırmanın temel amacıdır. Mevcut araştırmada Gazi Üniversitesi 120 lisans öğrencisi ve özel veya kamu sektöründe çalışan ve aynı zamanda yüksek lisans yapan toplam 123 kişiden elde edilen verilerle, politik yeteneğin yaratıcılık üzerinden girişimcilik niyetine aracı bir etkisi olup olmadığı incelenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre hem lisans hem de çalışan yüksek öğrencilerinde yaratıcılığın girişimcilik niyetini etkilediği, politik yeteneklerinin de girişimcilik niyetine etkisinin olduğu ancak yaratıcılık üzerinden politik yeteneğin girişimcilik niyetine aracılık etkisinin bulunmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Gelecekteki çalışmalarda, farklı meslek ve sektörlerde ve farklı değişkenlerle girişimcilik niyetine olan aracı etki incelenerek literatüre katkıda bulunulabilir.
