Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to reveal what the internal and external factors affecting entrepreneurship are and which of these factors have superiority over others in choosing the entrepreneurship career. For this purpose, a qualitative research was conducted. In this context, in-depth interviews were conducted with 16 entrepreneurs owning workplaces in various provinces of Turkey, 9 of whom are men and 7 of whom are women. During the interviews, a formerly prepared interview form consisting of 10 semi-structured questions was used. The data were analysed by NVivo package program according to thematic network analysis method. According to the findings of the study, internal factors and external factors play a role among the factors that push individuals to entrepreneurship. However, internal factors were found to be more effective. Especially personality traits were determined to be the most important factor in choosing the entrepreneurship career. The research differs from other studies in that it examines internal and external factors together and focuses on individuals who are already entrepreneurs rather than those who have the potential to choose an entrepreneurship career. In addition, the discovery of the ideals and dreams in the direction of the opinions of entrepreneurs as a factor prompting individuals to entrepreneurship has enabled the study to make an original contribution to the literature.

Girişimcilerin Gözünden Girişimciliği Etkileyen İçsel ve Dışsal Faktörler

Abstract

Bu çalışmada bireylerin girişimci olmasında rol oynayan içsel ve dışsal faktörlerin neler olduğu ve bu faktörlerden hangisinin girişimcilik kariyerini seçmede diğerlerine üstünlük kurduğunun ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda nitel bir araştırma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu bağlamda Türkiye’nin çeşitli illerinde işyeri sahibi olan, 9’u erkek ve 7’si kadın olmak üzere toplam 16 girişimci ile derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Görüşmelerde önceden hazırlanmış ve 10 adet yarı yapılandırılmış sorudan oluşan görüşme formu uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler tematik ağ analizi yöntemine göre NVivo paket programı aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre bireyleri girişimciliğe iten unsurlar arasında içsel faktörler ve dışsal faktörler rol oynamaktadır. Fakat içsel faktörlerin daha etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Özellikle kişilik özelliklerinin girişimcilik kariyerini seçmede en önemli unsur olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma, içsel ve dışsal faktörleri bir arada irdelemesi ve girişimcilik kariyerini tercih etme potansiyeli olanlardan ziyade halihazırda girişimcilik yapan bireylere odaklanması yönüyle diğer çalışmalardan ayrılmaktadır. Ayrıca girişimcilerin görüşleri doğrultusunda sahip olunan ideallerin ve hayallerin bireyleri girişimciliğe iten birer faktör olmasının keşfedilmesi, çalışmanın literatüre yönelik özgün bir katkı sunmasını sağlamıştır.
