Entrepreneurs and managers in OIZs operating in the province of Kayseri constitute the research sample. The validity and reliability analyzes of the collected data were made via a questionnaire. In the analysis process The SmartPLS Structural Equation Model (SEM) technique was used. The findings show that entrepreneurial passion has positive effects on innovative behaviors and also on grit. According to the research results, grit plays a full mediating role in the relationship between entrepreneurial passion and the fear of failure.

Girişimcilik Tutkusu ve Metanet Arasındaki İlişki Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, girişimcilik tutkusunun yenilikçi davranışlar ve başarısızlık korkusu üzerindeki etkisini belirlemek ve model üzerinde metanetin aracılık rolünü analiz etmektir. Kayseri ilinde faaliyet gösteren OSB’lerdeki girişimci ve yöneticiler araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturmaktadır. Oluşturulan bir anket yardımı ile toplanan verilerin geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik analizleri yapılmıştır. Analiz sürecinde SmartPLS Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli (YEM) tekniği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre girişimcilik tutkusunun yenilikçi davranışlar üzerinde ve ayrıca metanet üzerinde pozitif etkileri bulunmuştur. Ayrıca araştırma bulguları metanetin, girişimcilik tutkusu ile başarısızlık korkusu ilişkisinde tam aracılık rolüne sahip olduğunu göstermektedir.
