Abstract:

In this study, the factors affecting the entrepreneurial orientation were examined by considering the situation of the entrepreneurs in the technoparks of our country. The variables filtered from the Upper Echelon theory were examined by grouping them as individual, organizational, environmental and social status factors, and the variables of age, total experience and education level within the individual variables, the age of enterprise within the organizational variables, and the perceived environmental uncertainty level within the environmental variables. It has been found that there is a statistically significant effect on entrepreneurial orientation. It has been concluded that environmental and social status factors, which are considered as external factors, affect entrepreneurship orientation more than individual and organizational factors considered as internal factors.
