Çalışmada öncelikli olarak genel öz yeterlilik, girişimcilik eğilimi ve risk alma davranışı teorik olarak incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın amacı doğrultusunda genel öz yeterliliğin girişimcilik davranışa etkisinde risk alma davranışının aracılık rolünün olup olmadığını tespit etmek için bir model önerilmiştir. Önerilen bu model yol analizi ile test edilmiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini Iğdır üniversitesi öğrencilerinden oluşmaktadır. Veri toplama yöntemi olarak dört bölümden oluşan online anket yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler SPSS ve AMOS programında frekans, doğrulayıcı faktör, güvenilirlik, geçerlilik, yol analizi ve aracılık analizi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir.

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to examine whether risk-taking behaviors have a mediating role in the relationship between general self-efficacy levels and entrepreneurial tendencies. In the study, primarily general self-efficacy, entrepreneurial tendency and risk-taking behavior were examined theoretically. In line with the purpose of the study, a model has been proposed to determine whether risk-taking behavior has a mediating role in the effect of general self-efficacy on entrepreneurial behavior. This proposed model has been tested by path analysis. The universe of the research consists of the students of Iğdır University. The online survey method consisting of four parts was used as the data collection method. The obtained data were analyzed using frequency, confirmatory factor, reliability, validity, path analysis and mediation analysis in SPSS and AMOS program. As a result of the path analysis and intermediation analysis; It has been determined that risk taking behavior has a mediating role in the relationship between general self-efficacy and entrepreneurial behavior. In the study, it was also concluded that there are significant relationships between general self-efficacy and risk-taking behavior, risk-taking behavior and entrepreneurship, and general self-efficacy and entrepreneurship.
