Özet:

The objective of this work, which is handled in terms of the focus of entrepreneurship’s orientation, is to test the effects of emotions on the entrepreneurial orientation. Additionally, on the scope of this study, the relationship between gender, working status, age and supervisory orientation was also investigated. In the literature review, there is no sample study that establishes a relationship between emotional states and entrepreneurial orientations in terms of locus of control. It is thought that the study can contribute to this area which is important for the companies and administrators. The data required for the analysis have been provided from students who have taken courses in entrepreneurship at Kocaeli University in different faculties. 393 questionnaires were applied, but due to errors, the sample consisted of 381 students. The obtained data were evaluated in the 95% confidence interval by the MANOVA analysis in the SPSS program. As a result, between positive emotions and internal entrepreneurship; between negative emotions and external entrepreneurship were found to be in a right direction relationship. Beside, emotions, affecting the locus of control in entrepreneurship orientation, have been identified.
