The effect of commercial and social entrepreneurship motives on entrepreneurial intention

Abstract

Entrepreneurship is seen as one of the most notable concepts in recent years. The main purpose of this study is to examine students’ commercial and social entrepreneurship motives (motive-based attributes) on their entrepreneurial intention. In the study, the effects of commercial and social entrepreneurship motives on entrepreneurial intention of the students were investigated. The sample was chosen by the convenience sampling from the students of a private university in Ankara. The data obtained in the study were analyzed using SPSS. As a result, two sub-dimensions of commercial entrepreneurship motives (risk-taking and self-confidence), and one sub-dimension of social entrepreneurship motive (change-oriented) have significant effect on entrepreneurial intention.
