An Empirical Study On The Entrepreneurial Mindset Of Kocaeli Youth

Year 2024, Issue: 6 - GENÇLİK, 11 - 19, 31.05.2024

Abstract

This paper explores the entrepreneurial orientations of Kocaeli youth, focusing on gender, academic discipline, and academic performance; through a study conducted at the students of Kocaeli University. The findings reveal significant gender disparities in entrepreneurial orientations, with women showing higher levels of risk-taking and innovativeness compared to men. Additionally, variations in entrepreneurial orientation across academic disciplines were observed, with students in Economics and Business Administration displaying higher innovativeness levels. Surprisingly, no significant relationship was found between academic performance and entrepreneurial orientations. The results of this study suggest implications for entrepreneurship education and policy, emphasizing tailored approaches to education, addressing gender disparities, and integrating entrepreneurship into curricula.

Kocaeli Gençliğinin Girişimci Zihniyeti Üzerine Ampirik Bir İnceleme

Year 2024, Issue: 6 - GENÇLİK, 11 - 19, 31.05.2024

Abstract

Bu çalışma kapsamında, Kocaeli gençliğinin girişimcilik eğilimi; Kocaeli Üniversitesi öğrencileri üstünde gerçekleştirilen bir çalışma aracılığıyla, cinsiyet, akademik disiplin ve akademik performans noktalarından incelemektedir. Bulgular, girişimcilik eğilimleri bazında önemli cinsiyet farklılıklarını ortaya koymakta olup, kadınların erkeklere kıyasla daha yüksek risk alma ve yenilikçilik düzeyleri sergilediklerini göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte, girişimcilik yöneliminde akademik disiplinler arasında farklılıklar gözlemlenmiş olup, İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler öğrencilerinin daha yüksek yenilikçilik seviyeleri sergilediği belirlenmiştir. Beklenenin aksine, akademik performans ile girişimcilik eğilimi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları; girişimcilik eğitimi ve politikaları için çeşitli öneriler sunmakta, eğitimde özelleştirilmiş yaklaşımların, cinsiyet farklılıklarının ele alınmasının ve girişimciliğin müfredatlara entegre edilmesinin önemini vurgulamaktadır.
