A study on the factors affecting the entrepreneurial intentions of white collar employees: The case of HAVELSAN

Entrepreneurship is a process that involves creativity, invention and risk-taking. Entrepreneurs identify and start new firms and provide the necessary resources for their expansion. By facilitating business expansion, increasing economic activity and creating jobs, this process improves social welfare. By offering cutting-edge goods and services, entrepreneurs stimulate economic transformation and increase competitiveness. White-collar workers typically have advanced education and are highly skilled professionals in managerial roles. White-collar professionals are often employed by large enterprises and are often looking for more consistent and secure employment. However, there is a link between white-collar professionals and entrepreneurship. White-collar professionals are often hired by business owners to expand their operations and bring their innovative ideas to life. White-collar workers help business owners by offering their specific expertise and skills. Entrepreneurship can be a chance for white-collar workers. White-collar professionals can benefit from entrepreneurship by gaining more freedom, responsibility and access to creative environments at work. Some white-collar professionals can become entrepreneurs and achieve success on their own terms. Entrepreneurship offers white-collar professionals more than the search for a stable job. White-collar individuals who turn to entrepreneurship have the chance to hone their entrepreneurial skills, gain the confidence to take calculated risks, and develop their leadership abilities. Through entrepreneurship, white-collar professionals can bring their innovation and entrepreneurial spirit to corporate environments. In the current study, the relationship between entrepreneurial intentions, psychological capital and domain attitudes of white-collar employees working at Havelsan was examined. In this sense, it is aimed to determine the important factors affecting entrepreneurial intentions.
