Özet:

 In our nation, unemployment is rising as a result of the decline in both private and public sector employment. At this point, entrepreneurship is essential for generating employment and creating new jobs. The major goal of this study is to reveal the effect of university students self-efficacy and unemployment anxiety on their entrepreneurial intentions. The data of the study were collected from 438 students studying at a state university by using a questionnaire with convenience sampling method. In the face-to-face questionnaire, in addition to the personal information form, self-efficacy, unemployment anxiety and entrepreneurial intention scales were included. In addition to descriptive statistics; correlation, and regression analysis were applied in the data analysis. Descriptive statistics indicate that students have high levels of self-efficacy, while their unemployment anxiety and entrepreneurial intentions are at a moderate level. The correlation analysis has revealed a high positive association between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention as well as a moderately favorable relationship between entrepreneurial intention and unemployment anxiety. The regression analysis has revealed that students self-efficacy and unemployment anxiety favorably impact their entrepreneurial intentions. Self-efficacy has also been identified as the most powerful factor influencing entrepreneurial intention. The research result shows that self-efficacy and unemployment anxiety are two important variables in increasing entrepreneurial intention and, accordingly, the emergence of entrepreneurial behavior.

 Ülkemizde özel sektör ve kamuda iş alanlarının daralması beraberinde işsizliğin artmasına yol açmaktadır. Bu noktada, girişimcilik yeni iş alanlarının yaratılmasında ve istihdam sağlanmasında kilit bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu araştırmada temel amaç üniversite öğrencilerinin öz yeterlilik ve işsizlik kaygılarının girişimcilik niyetleri üzerindeki etkisini ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmanın verileri bir devlet üniversitesinde öğrenim gören 438 öğrenciden kolayda örneklem yöntemi ile bir anket kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Yüz yüze gerçekleştirilen ankette kişisel bilgi formunun yanı sıra, öz yeterlilik, işsizlik kaygısı ve girişimcilik niyeti ölçeklerine yer verilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistiklerin yanı sıra, korelasyon ve regresyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Yapılan tanımlayıcı istatistiklerde öğrencilerin öz yeterlilik düzeylerinin yüksek olduğu, işsizlik kaygısı ve girişimcilik niyetlerinin orta düzeye yakın olduğu belirlenmiştir. Korelasyon analizi sonucunda öz yeterlilik ve girişimcilik niyeti arasında pozitif yönlü güçlü bir ilişki tespit edilirken, işsizlik kaygısı ve girişimcilik niyeti arasında pozitif yönlü orta düzeyde bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Regresyon analizi sonucunda öğrencilerin öz yeterlilik ve işsizlik kaygılarının girişimcilik niyetlerini pozitif bir şekilde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca öz yeterliliğin girişimcilik niyetini etkileyen en güçlü değişken olduğu belirlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucu, girişimcilik niyetinin artması ve buna bağlı olarak girişimcilik davranışının ortaya çıkmasında öz yeterlilik ve işsizlik kaygısının iki önemli değişken olduğunu göstermektedir.
