Literatürdeki çalışmalarda da finansal sosyalizasyon, bireylerinfinansal okuryazar olma vasfı kazanması ve davranışlarının şekillenmesine etki eden önemli unsurlardan biri olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bu çerçeveden hareketle çalışmanın amacı, finansal sosyalizasyonun kadın girişimcilerin finansal okuryazarlığı üzerindeki rolünü incelemektir. Araştırmada, İzmir ilinde faaliyet gösteren bir iş kadınları derneğininüyelerinden yarı yapılandırılmış mülakat tekniği kullanılarak veriler toplanmıştır.Mülakatlarda finansal okuryazarlığın gelir, bütçe, harcama, tasarruf, borçlanma, yatırım ve emeklilik boyutlarıekseninde, finansal sosyalizasyonun finansal tutum ve davranışların şekillenmesinde nasıl bir rolüolduğubelirlenmeye çalışılmıştır.Araştırma sonucunda, finansal sosyalizasyon araçlarından “ailenin” örneklemde yer alan kadın girişimcilerin finansal okuryazarlığı üzerinde etkili bir role sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Finansal sosyalizasyon sürecinde aileden etkilenen kadın girişimcilerin benzer tutum ve davranışlar sergilediği belirlenmiştir.
