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.
