A research of students' entrepreneurship personality and entrepreneurship tendencies in the context of generations: A research on Anadolu University Open Education system students

The concept of entrepreneurship has an important place in today's social and economic life. The role of entrepreneurship is important in meeting the ever-increasing world population and increasing consumption and employment needs. Entrepreneurship is one of the building blocks of the strong economy. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the differences of entrepreneurial personality traits of students in terms of generations. Accordingly, an online questionnaire was applied to Anadolu University Open Education System students to detect differences in terms of generations. 663 students enrolled in Anadolu University Open Education System responded to the questionnaire. As a result of the answers received and the statistical methods applied, no difference was found in the entrepreneurial personality traits of the students in terms of generations. It is thought that the absence of a difference according to generations is due to the lack of equal distribution of participants. In addition to the examination on the basis of generations; entrepreneurship level and entrepreneurial personality traits were also examined in terms of gender, foreign language level, parental status, taking entrepreneurship lessons, graduation level and family members owning their own business.
