Entrepreneurship is an essential spine in globalization and economic development, which promote innovation and new product development to meet the high demand and the quest for sophisticated products. Entrepreneurial Characteristics motivate and enable individuals to start the process of establishing an enterprise. The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of entrepreneurial characteristics on entrepreneurial intention. This thesis sets out to examine how the entrepreneurial characteristics possibly affect individual’s entrepreneurial intention. Previous studies were examined on the subject field to provide detailed insight into the literature and set a road map for the study. To investigate this phenomenon appropriately, online survey was conducted in Istanbul Commerce University and University of Bremen. Specifically, 401 graduate students from the business and economics department participated in the survey. The data was systematically analyzed using SPSS to perform demographic analysis, descriptive analysis, factor analysis for both scales, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. The hypotheses of the study were tested and accepted. The selected characteristics are statistically proven to be affecting entrepreneurial intention. The results of the study are expected to shed light on the future researches.

Girişimcilik, küreselleşme ve ekonomik kalkınmada önemli bir unsur olup, yüksek talep ve sofistike ürünler arayışı için yenilik ve yeni ürün geliştirmeyi teşvik etmektedir. Girişimci kişilik özellikleri, bireyleri bir girişim kurma sürecine başlama konusunda motive eder ve olanak sağlar. Çalışmanın amacı, girişimcilik özelliklerinin girişimcilik niyeti üzerindeki etkisini belirlemektir. Literatür hakkında detaylı bilgi vermek ve çalışma için bir yol haritası belirlemek amacıyla konu alanında daha önce yapılan çalışmalar incelenmiştir. Bu konuyu uygun bir şekilde araştırmak için İstanbul Ticaret Üniversitesi'nde ve Bremen Üniversitesi'nde araşturma yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya, İşletme ve Ekonomi bölümünden 401 yüksek lisans öğrencisi katılmıştır. Verilere demografik analiz, tanımlayıcı analiz, her iki ölçek için faktör analizi, güvenilirlik analizi, korelasyon analizi ve regresyon analizi SPSS kullanılarak uygulanmıştır. Çalışmanın hipotezi kabul edilmiştir. Seçilen girişimcilik özelliklerinin girişimcilik niyetini etkilediği istatistiksel olarak kanıtlanmıştır. Analiz sonuçları gelecekteki araştırmalar için öneriler ve çalışmanın sonuçları izlenerek tartışılmıştır.
