THE STUDY ON THE MEDIATOR ROLE OF LEADERSHIP TASKS IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENTREPRENEURIAL PASSION AND INNOVATIVE BEHAVIORS: THE CASE OF THE ENGINEERING PROFESSION

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the mediating role of leadership tasks in the impact of entrepreneurial passion on innovative behaviors. Looking at the entrepreneurial ecosystem, engineers, as a professional group that closely follows innovations and the rapid interaction of global markets, come to the fore with their entrepreneurial passion and innovative behavior. In this context, the sample of the research consists of 325 working individuals who graduated from engineering faculties. In the study, the data were collected through a questionnaire measuring scales of entrepreneurial passion, innovative behaviors, and leadership tasks; then validity and reliability of the data were put to the test. SPSS 2.0 statistical program was used in the analysis process. According to the research findings, it has been determined that passion for entrepreneurship has a positive effect on innovative behaviors. In addition, they show that leadership duties have a partial mediating role in the relationship between entrepreneurial passion and innovative behaviors. This study was ethically approved by Istanbul Esenyurt University Ethics Committee with its decision dated 12.09.2022 and numbered 2022/08-25.
