Kültürel Zekanın Girişimcilik Yönelimine Etkisi: Laleli Pazarındaki Mikro Ölçekli İşletmelerde Bir Araştırma

Abstract

Rekabetin hızla arttığı günümüz iş dünyasında, işletmelerin uluslararası düzeyde faaliyet gösterme zorunluluğu artmaktadır. Söz konusu faaliyetler esnasında, uluslararası alanda farklı kültürel özelliklere sahip bireylerin etkileşimi ile iletişim sorunları ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Bu sorunun aşılmasında kültürel zeka etkili bir faktör olarak son dönemde yönetim bilimcilerin ilgisini çekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kültürel zekanın girişimcilik yönelimine etkisini belirlemektir. Bu amaçla Laleli pazarındaki mikro ölçekli işletmelerden anket yöntemi ile veri toplanmıştır. Anket formunda kültürel zeka ölçeği (Ang, Van Dyne, Koh, Ng, Templer, Tay ve Chandrasekar 2007) ile girişimcilik yönelimi ölçeği (Bouncken vd., 2014; Chen vd., 2015; Hughes ve Morgan, 2007) değerlendirme aracı olarak kullanılmıştır ve hipotezler Smart-PLS 2.0 ile test edilmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre, üstbilişsel, motivasyonel ve davranışsal kültürel zekanın girişimcilik yöneliminin risk alma, yenilikçilik ve proaktiflik boyutlarından bazıları ile arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu ortaya konmuştur.
