ABSTRACT
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of academic motivation of international trade students on entrepreneurship tendency and female entrepreneurship values. Accordingly, the study group consisted of 260 respondents which have been selected from the accessible population due to the limited time available, from international trade students in Turkish universities both in bachelor’s and master’s level population. The data collection tools used in the research are the demographic information in the multiple-choice form and the academic motivation scale. Academic motivation has multiple effects on students’ learning, and this points directly affects entrepreneurship tendency. In some countries, entrepreneurship creates tendencies in different directions due to cultural and economic structures. And the inclusion of women, who make up the half of world’s population; in business life with their entrepreneurship, supports the sustainable development. According to the findings of this study, it is determined that there is a cause-effect relationship between the academic motivation, entrepreneurship tendency and female entrepreneurship variables.
All in all, the findings of the study indicated that overall graduates and undergraduates of international trade women students are all well motivated meanwhile having positive intentions in starting their own business

1. INTRODUCTION
International Trade is the exchange of products and services across international borders or territories.
Originally trade was regulated through bilateral treaties between two countires. Under the Mercantilism method, which lasted for hundred of years, most countries had high tariffs and various restrictions on international trade. This began to change in 19th century when a drastic change and belief in trade began in Britain.
The most notable feature of microdata is that only a few companies participate in international trade. Researchers have found that in both in developed and developing economies, exporters and importers make up only a small percentage of producers.
This participation occurs in a random way. An equivalent study found that importers and exporters are more significant, more skilled- capital-intensive and more productive than non- trading companies and pay more before entering the international market. These facts indicate self-selection: the higher productivity of exporters is not necessarily the result of exports, instead, it is closely related to the readiness of the most substantial manufacturers to overcome the price of entering the export market.
The most successful example to this is the innovative Melitz (2003) model, which dominates the latest research in this field. The critical insight of this model is that micro-heterogeneity will affect the overall results. When national trade policy barriers arise or transportation costs fall, high-productivity export companies survive and expand, while low-productivity non- export companies shrink or withdraw from the market. This redistribution of inter-company economic activity increases overall productivity. The effects of globalization have been ignored in previous theories of international trade that support comparative advantage and consumer diversity choice.
Many researchers have characterized enterprise in various ways. Entrepreneurship is a method of inspiring new things by giving the necessary time and energy. Take money as an example: mystic, social dangers and vulnerabilities; and the subsequent prizes of fiscal and individual fulfilment.
Since the 1980s, entrepreneurship has emerged as an increasing trend among scientists and psychologists. The topic has been upgraded to the licensing, especially in business schools (Cooper, 2005).
In contrast, researches related to entrepreneurship have been going on for a very long time seeking a range of goals and perceptions of vision. Historical researches on entrepreneurship were mainly concerned with the understanding of structural change and economic development process.
“Entrepreneurship” has come to be an increasingly crucial idea in the latest years thanks to adjustment globalization technology that is continuing globally.
The number of women entrepreneurs has significantly expanded after the 1980s when women were acknowledged as a noteworthy labor force in some industrialized countries particularly the United, States (Coughlin, 2002; Moore and Buttner, 1997).
Women entrepreneurship is an ability, an act of enterprise that allows women to build their financial satisfactory as well as their position in society. Woman entrepreneur is a character who accepts challenging role to meet her desires and become economically independent. A study states that the example of in-constructed high-quality of entrepreneurial women, are successful in contributing values in family and social life. (Sadia Ahmed gender and development).
Researches on subject of female entrepreneurship were merely made, until recently. From 1900 to 2016, there are only 185 relevant research papers on female entrepreneurship that have been distributed in entrepreneurship journals (Unni and Yadav, 2016). In particular, the subject of how entrepreneurial universities help their female undergraduates to overcome their current obstacles and take interest in business enterprise, has not been studied enough.
The study is intended to investigate the effects of the academic motivation of students of the international trade department on entrepreneurship tendency and female entrepreneurship values. The degree of entrepreneurship tendency conveyed to the students stands significance in this regard.
Numerous researches were done wih EI examining and several inquiries have been completed. However, not many of these researches inspected EI in both inward and outer
factor measurements. In the past studies, researchers centered around either internal or external variables autonomously.
The following is the research, question that this study to attempts to answer:
What is the effect of the academic motivation of students of the international trade department on entrepreneurship tendency and female entrepreneurship values?
The study was done on international trade students in Turkish universities both in bachelor's and master’s level. The data in the study were, collected from 260 international trade students studying in Istanbul. SPSS 16.0 statistical package program was used to analyze the data obtained from the study group. To answer the research questions and to test the results validity of the survey, various methods were applied: factor analyses, reliability values, mean and standard deviation values of the entrepreneurship intention scale were calculated with Cronbach Alpha Coefficient and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO).
The scope of the research consists of international trade students in universities studying within the province of Istanbul.
The objecective of this study is to understand their academic motivation in entrepreneurial tendency which is very significant for the growth and development of economies in any country. This study is applied research since it is a novel solution for the entrepreneur’s problems that conflicts the real opportunities and motives for students.
This study gives a solution for many students who are going to establish a new, business idea since it shows the motivators. Furthermore, this research has proved that the academic motivations of the students of the international trade department have a positive effect on ambition and determination among the sub-factors of entrepreneurship tendency. It is seen that the perception of women entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship tendency has a positive impact on all sub-factors. Therefore, it will be served to the light of literature.
Also, this study helps to understand the motivations of international trade students in establishing their businesses and their approach to female entrepreneurship, which is very important for the development of the economies in the world.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
This chapter will review the literature of several themes of this area based on the research objectives and questions stated in the previous chapter one. It mainly focuses on entrepreneurs. In this chapter, the researcher reviews the key literature in some areas. This section discussion investigates the effects of the academic, motivation of students of the international trade department on entrepreneurship tendency and female entrepreneurship values.
2.1 Academic Motivation
Academic motivation is defined using a scholar’s desire (as pondered in approach, endurance, and degree of interest) concerning instructional subjects when the student’s competence is judged in opposition to a popular performance, or excellence (McClelland, et al., 1953).
Why is academic motivation so important?
Motivation has numerous consequences on students' learning and conduct. Firstly, motivation directs behaviour closer to desires. Secondly, motivation stimulates college students' time management on assignments and likewise is a significant issue affecting their gain of knowledge and achievement.
Academic motivation has been broadly defined as students’ desire, effort, and perseverance for academic achievement in training writing. Experts assessed their motivation and its impact on school performance (Brouse, LeBlanc, Basch, McKnight D. Allen, 1999), And Lei, 2010; Harju and Eppler, 1997; Giuffrida, Abel, Lynch and Wall 2013; Wolniak, Pascarella, Flowers and Pierson, 2004; Weigand and Reynolds, 2010).
Bong and Clark, 1999; Dekker and Fischer, 2008, Developing comprehension of academic- based motivation has been specifically compelling inside the advanced education space.
Most notably, studies that have investigated students' academic motivation during school have recommended that female, students tend to have more significant levels of academic motivation and that it abates during school (Brouse et al., 2010). The mentioned study recommends that educational motivation constantly changes thus we can say that it is
flexible. Likewise, this research has concluded that academic motivation positively affects maintenance and persistence in school.
Raichlen et al. (2013) found that students' motivation anticipated higher evaluation of direct midpoints and intention to persist. D. Allen (1999) additionally noticed that racial/ethnic minority, students who had more elevated levels of motivation were bound to suffer to their, second year. Weigand and Reynolds (2010) found that academic motivation was related to strength and helping students adapt to pressure. This research has also examined academic motivation among, traditional and nontraditional, college students. It shows that nontraditional students have higher, learning objectives identified with their academic work than their traditional peers (Harju and Eppler, 1997). Besides, Pascarella et al. (2004 determined that academic motivation and exertion impacted plans of seeking after a graduate degree. This mentioned research and other studies recommend that, academic motivation plays a significant, role in influencing school results.
Research has also evaluated the connection between student-faculty interaction, academic motivation, and commitment (Jaasma and Koper, 1999; Komarraju et al., 2010; Chemosit and Rugutt, 2009). Studies have highlighted the flexibility of academic motivation, recommending that academic motivation can be affected through interventions, for example, increased student-faculty, interaction. Koper and Jaasma (1999), for instance, examined the connection between student-faculty communication, outside of class and academic motivation.
Results established that student motivation was, positively connected with out-of-class correspondence. However, the study also found that during casual contact with a faculty member, talking about coursework was negatively connected with student motivation, recommending that student-faculty interaction outside of, class about an issue may lessen trust and motivation in the student. Chemosit and Rugutt (2009) additionally investigated the impact of student’s faculty interaction on student academic motivation, finding that, student-faculty interaction was a critical indicator of student motivation. Furthermore, Komarraju et al. (2010) researched a few sorts of student-faculty interaction as indicators of academic self-concept, academic motivation, and academic achievement. Forms of, student- faculty interaction investigated, included professional direction, grounds cooperation, receptiveness, openness, conscious cooperation, caring demeanour, and connection.
Forms of student-faculty interaction studied include campus interaction, career guidance, accessibility, approachability, caring attitude, respectful interactions. Results suggested that, intrinsic motivation was positively associated, with several aspects of student-faculty, interaction, and extrinsic motivation positively associated with career guidance and respect.
Such findings suggest the malleability, of academic motivation and the potential for student- faculty interactions, to enhance students’ motivation during college. Academic motivation can be defined as the factors that influence a person to attend faculty and reap a degree.
While there had been many theories of motivation (Craven, Marsh, Debus & Hinkley 2003;
Toluk & Middleton, 1999), considered one of the high-quality regarded theories of motivation is Deci and Ryan's Self-Determination Theory (SDT) of motivation (1985).
Numerous inspirational theories have two aspected structures that make qualifications between persuaded conduct; that finishes with an individual aim or decision, and a motivation conduct done reluctantly or out of consistence (Heider; Seligman as referred to by Vallerand, Deci, Ryan and Pelletier, 1991). Nevertheless, SDT, claims that inspired conduct can be additionally analyzed into two categories, intrinsic motivation, and extrinsic motivation, and a factor that reflects an absence of inspiration, is motivation (Ryan and Deci, 1985). In addition, SDT has been utilizing a wide range of structures as it applies to academic motivation (Ryan and Deci, 2008; Schmeck, Komarraju, and Karau, 2009).
One of these is a progressive structure with, three higher-request categories and six second- request categories (Vallerand et al., 1992). The three higher-request factors are intrinsic, motivation, exercises done with of joy and happiness; extrinsic motivation, exercises done in order to accomplish an objective or prize; and lastly, motivation, when people don't see any compensation for their conduct.
There are three subclasses that compose extrinsic motivation: recognized, introjected, and external kinds of the guideline. There are three subclasses within intrinsic motivation:
intrinsic, the motivation towards knowing and learning; intrinsic, the motivation towards achievements and inherent, the motivation towards encountering incitement.
Identified regulation is when an individual naturally values the behavior, even though the person in question is not doing it for the person who likes it. Introjected regulation is when one takes part in conduct to keep up close to home desires or maintain a strategic distance from blame.
In this sense, motivation is disguised dependent on past encounters, up till now people are not taking part in exercises for the delight of the movement itself, but out of commitment.
External law is the point at which an individual takes part in conduct to acquire an external compensation or stay away from a discipline.
IM achieving things is the point at which a conduct is accomplished for the fulfilment of achieving an undertaking, to feel skilled or to do something. This is the point at which an individual seeks after objectives past standard prerequisites for satisfaction leaving behind their own desires. IM to encounter incitement is the point at which an individual takes part in conduct since the person in question thinks it is energizing or animating.
Both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation (integrated law) are related to positive academic execution (Deci et al., 1991) Benware and Deci (1984) found that undergraduates who wanted to use the course materials to guide different undergraduates maintained a higher level of natural inspiration and showed more performance than undergraduates who only studied materials for testing purposes. Also, Ross, Perkins, and Bodey (2013) detailed that female students are genrally more outgoing than male student, whereas male students are more convincing than female students.
In this way, individuals can be driven either intrinsically or extrinsically or by both, to take part in entrepreneurial interest (Naffziger et al. 1994). A few researches have studied interior and outer inspirations (DeTienne et al. 2008; Carsrud et al. 2009; Fayolle et al. 2014). The two sorts of motivation may have a beneficial outcome on the enterprising expectation under specific conditions (Antonioli et al. 2016). No difference, their impacts on the choice to act are most likely extraordinary (Brannback and Carsrud 2011) just like those on entrepreneurial power (DeTienne et al., 2008)
As indicated by Cantor (2011), the majority of employements is made up of independent companies. So new businesses and startups have government’s support since these help the country’s economy. Right now, students have opportunity to open their businesses step by step, since new businesses are well supported by the government's arrangements. Thus, more students choose to build up and run their own business as opposed to getting a new line of work in a current business.
Starting a new business, a few decades ago was more complicated, people had to think about
choice. Understanding why students need to maintain their own businesses will assist in approaching and supporting entrepreneurial intention (EI) among undergraduates.
2.1.1 Intrinsic Academic Motivation
Intrinsic motivation implies making work that represents its purpose, or the pride that it represents (Deci, 1975). Intrinsic educational motivation includes the desire and internal focus of control (self-regulation) when performing leisure activities on a large scale.
In this way, the inner intrinsic motivation comes from the ability and inner psychological desire and self-determination. Hofer (2006) pointed out that natural intrinsic academic motivation can cultivate understanding, innovation, contribution, and challenge computing.
Academically, intrinsic motivation is the internal tendency or preference for personal learning, exploration, and finding challenges, which is attributed to the inherent hobbies and entertainment experienced by the character (Ryan & Deci, 2000a, 2000b). The intrinsic motivation is recognized as the desire to show interest since it brings personal satisfaction to analyze new things. The inner motivation to accomplish something is the desire to participate in a pastime as it brings the pleasure of personal achievement or creation.
Deci and Ryan (1991) recognized intrinsic motivation (accomplishing something for the sheer pride that it brings or due to leisure activity) from extrinsic motivation (the actions one takes part in which are pressured or enticed by utilizing outside powers). Natural intrinsic motivation is identified with the actions driven by the pride and pleasure one gets from taking part in (Vallerand et al., 1992). Deci and Ryan (2000) state natural intrinsic, motivation as
"the characteristic inclination scanning out oddity and difficulties, broadining and practicing one's abilities, to investigate, and to contemplate".
Understudies’ diversion while they examine new things is a case of intrinsic inspiration.
Student marks may likewise get their work done because of the reality that they find exciting and satisfying to examine positive subjects. Ryan and Deci state that individuals are intrinsically motivated towards the games, which arise curiosity, challenge, or stylish worth.
2.1.2 Extrinsic Academic Motivation
The extrinsic subclasses of motivation do not result from the, sake of the act being performed, but from the behavior as, a means to an end (Deci, 1975). An extrinsically prompted individual pleasure to ask because of approval or external signs about worth. With this point, view of scholarly inspiration, the center of attention about education is on prizes, look at score’s grades, yet vocations (Ginsberg, 2005).
Then again, extrinsic motivation suggests “the exhibition of a movement to achieve some distinct result” (Ryan and Deci, 2000). Extrinsically based actions are progressively measured methods in contrast to intrinsically based actions. In contrast to intrinsic, motivation, extrinsic motivation is not identified with extraordinary enthusiasm to take part in specific actions. For example, individuals act according to a goal in their mind because their practices are esteemed by critical others to whom they are connected (Ryan and Deci, 2000). In this case, the behaviour is incited by outer possible factors e.g. award discipline, and endpoint times where the performed conduct is not between assumed points. For example, a student who completes a task to get educator's praise or to maintain a strategic distance from an educator’s charge showdown is remotely controlled (Deci et al., 1991).
Deci et al. (1991) classifies extrinsic motivation into four groups; external regulation, identified regulation, introjected regulation, and integrated regulation. When these four groups are set along an autonomy continuum, external regulation can be defined as the smallest decided whereas integrated regulation is determined simply. External regulation indicates the action’s regulation by remunerations and requirements. Students who study hard and realize that their parents will award them for doing so, is a good example for, external regulation (Deci et al., 1991). Introjection is defined with executing regulation, meanwhile not tolerating itself totally.
As an example, a student who attends classes on time, does this to avoid the sense of regret, this is conducted by introjects (Deci et al., 1991). The third class of extrinsic motivation is defined as regulation. This simply can be explained when people esteem their behavior think it as an important one.
Vansteenkiste, Deci, and Lens (2006) guarantee that when individuals see the individual pertinence of action for themselves, they are probably going to distinguish its significance and will take part in the work deliberately or readily.
A study that analysed measurements acknowledges the significance of insights for the self- chosen objective is to conduct through identification. And lasty, integrated regulation is the determining propelled type of extrinsic motivation. It has some connection to intrinsic motivation on the grounds that types of autonomous, self-regulation in which the individual carries on enthusiastically in the given circumstance.
Nevertheless, the student who is just externally regulated cannot be seen as autonomous in contrast to intrinsic motivation (Deci et al., 1991).
2.2 Entrepreneurship
Under this heading, the topics to be covered include entrepreneurship types, factors affecting entrepreneurship, personal skills, entrepreneurship tendencies and reasons to become entrepreneurs. Therefore, the topics of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship trends are discussed in general terms.
2.2.1 Entrepreneurship definition and importance
When in second quarter of the 20th century the goal of economic development became popular worldwide, economic activities took place under the support and control of the countries. As a result the Capitalist Block, the Soviet Block and the Third World Blocks were formed. The state-led economic development model began to be replaced by the market-dominated model in the 80s, with the social welfare state-led process, which caught nearly 50 years of high growth rates. The new main actor has become the entrepreneur, instead of the state, which will contribute on economic development on a world scale in the 90s and ensure that the old high growth rates can be achieved (Yeşilay, 2006).
As a result of this, entrepreneurship activities and hence the entrepreneurship increase in the source of progress not only in developed, countries but also in developing, countries. States are preparing incentive measures for the expansion of entrepreneurship.
Today, entrepreneurship is viewed as one of the fundamental sources of development in both academia and business. Entrepreneurs' commitment to discovering technological breakthroughs (Schmitz and Holmes, 1990), promote technology transfer and take advantage of innovative commercial opportunities. These have demonstrated the effect of entrepreneurship on empowering financial development (Braunerhjelm et al., 2010).
The Global Entrepreneurship Observation Authority (The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, 2011) in its global report states that there are serious increases in entrepreneurship activities, 400 million entrepreneurs are active in 54 countries and millions of them are in preparation (Gemconsortium, 2011). In this way, thousands of business ideas emerge as businesses every year, and some of them become giant companies operating worldwide. One of the most prominent exmple of these is Microsoft. Microsoft founder Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard University and founded Microsoft in 1975, laying the foundation for the computer systems we use today. Bill Gates has reached a billion dollar production capacity with its $ 30 capital, which is only a trouser price. Microsoft’s Office and Windows software are being used in 90% of the computers worldwide. By developing this software, Gates has made an important contribution to increase the manufacture for humanity, as well as the emergence of what people can do to achieve high living standards. Sam Walton, is a successful entrepreneur, founder of of Wal-Mart retail store. He has made Wal-Mart the largest retail chain of the country from a small store in Arkansas in less than 30 years, thanks to his innovation in the distribution warehouses and inventory control system. Appropriate location and price options offered by Wal-Mart are for the benefit of customers; Henry Ford (Ford automobile), Ted Turner (CNN), Fred Smith (FedEx) and Ray Kroc (McDonald’s franchising) etc. Like entrepreneurs, Walton has raised the daily living standards of millions of people around the world (Sobel, 2012).
Student entrepreneurship, as one of the most significant segments of business enterprise, has gotten a considerable amount of consideration lately. Numerous universities over the world are becoming pioneer colleges through changes of hierarchical structure and administration, in order to be progressively associated with the joint effort with open areas and different enterprises (Spiess-Knafl et al., 2015).
Challenged with the expanding significance of entrepreneurship, youth is particularly the most crucial component of being in the front lines. Countries expect to expand their entrepreneurship levels to accomplish monetary turn of events, to support their financial elements, and to improve their shared living in social, spiritual, and technological arenas.
We can say that nations need to support the business world to achieve their objectives.
The student entrepreneurs engaged in business activities are young people who build new businesses. They use the knowledge gained in the university exams, through the method of
creating new projects and market deleopment wih an administrative approach (Bailetti, 2011). Student entrepreneurs not only increase the university’s financial level, but also support the government’s interest in university innovation work. (Bailetti, 2011; Michelacci, 2003), according to inquiries related to the great potential of university graduates to expand their entrepreneurial activities (Venessar, Kolbre, and Piliste, 2005).
However, it is concluded that most university graduates are not enthusiastic in following these ideas to become entrepreneurs, which means that learning insufficiency is a global problem (Shambare, 2013).
The cause of original entrepreneurial universities can be followed back to the 1980s when (Etzkowitz) initially raised the argument on the most proficient method to move logical outcomes into business use. Following this, the idea of the entrepreneurial universities has been additionally inquired nd characterized. In 1998, Clark described the innovative college as an association that highlights the nature of information and the adaptability between various knowledge and different programmers, just as in the long run setting and achieving the college's hierarchical objective (Clark, 1998).
Today, in public discussions, universities are gradually being recognized as an incredible force in both, creating and further developing, jobs and capitals. For example, the European Commission stated that the development of the information society depends on the creation and dissemination of new information through guidance and preparation, as well as the use of further information by new modern procedures and administrative agencies. Universities are at the core of these procedures because they are all involved (European Commission, 2003: 4).
The announcement reflects the collection and development of information of university work as a supporter of human capital supplier, progress maker and professional changer. New information is escalating in a virtue of the joint efforts of the university-industry and the new business.
(Leyesdorf and Etzkowitz, 1997; Cohen and Florida, 1999; Feldman, 2000). Among other things, the effective correspondence of this insightful information with legislators and strategy makers also brought great efforts to improve countless European colleges’s infrastructure, thus supporting the promotion of enterprise development.
Following this, scientists connected the entrepreneurial college model planned by Etzkowitz (2008), which includes college, industry, and government. The ongoing joint effort and communication among these three players cultivates information, age, and change, in way upgrading the procedure of advancement (Tuunainen, 2005).
Since then, the center has been moved to the cooperation among colleges and different players, which is considered as one of the most essential components regarding information advancement. (Etzkowitz and Klofsten, 2005).
Entrepreneurs, while raising the living standards of people also help solve the unemployment problem of hundreds, maybe millions of people (Karabulut, 2009), Entrepreneurs, have become a center of resistance against global competition. They take many responsibilities upon thesemselves; enable capital spread in the poorest parts in national economies, and are also a national resistance factor in global competition.
Some of the functions that today's entrepreneurs undertake and perform can be listed as follows (Ünal, 2009: 79):
• Produce and commercialize by turning a business idea and idea into a business- enterprise,
• Taking advantage of opportunities that others cannot see,
• Creating new and potential markets,
• Producing goods and services by developing new technology,
• Ensuring that new potential resources are used in production and offered to human service,
• Make changes in business life,
• Decreasing unemployment and increasing employment, and
• Providing economic development.
Carl J. Schramm, CEO of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation in February 2007;
"Entrepreneurs are dominated by generators of social welfare that make other people feel safe." (Beijing, 2012).
Entrepreneurship is important in almost every industry in all developed countries, especially the USA. It is possible to emphasize the importance of entrepreneurship especially for three areas. These areas are (Balaban and Özdemir, 2012):
• Innovation,
• The emergence and growth of new businesses,
• Creating new business areas.
In this case, entrepreneurship and the social mission undertaken by the entrepreneur; Without a doubt we can say they are society’s financial and technical freedom fighters.
When the literature on the definition of entrepreneurship is reviewed (Yeşilay, 2006), defining it is a difficult task due to the uncertainty in the literature and its confusion with many other concepts. The first approach to explaining the concept of entrepreneurship was made by Richard Cantillon (1680–1734). Cantillon has divided economic units into three classes: landowners, entrepreneurs and workers. Cantillo defined the entrepreneur as the person who faces uncertainty while performing his business activities, and explained this with the fact that the entrepreneur's selling prices and quantities, compared to, purchasing prices and quantities are unsettled (Özden vd., 2012).
The Turkish Language Association (2012), on the other hand, entered the dictionary definition of the entrepreneur in trade, industry, etc. It is defined as the person who starts and tries to put capital in order to have production, in any kind of economy’s field. When we consider these definitions, we conclude that the entrepreneur is considered as the person who brings together the factors of production, and besides all the risks starts his own business.
However, with the developing technological, financial circumstances and solution partnerships, the concept of entrepreneurship has taken a new dimension. Since entrepreneurship (Özden, et al. 2012) has become a concept handled by many disciplines such as sociology, business, economics, psychology, different definitions and discussions have emerged. These discussions aegue whether entrepreneurship is a professional group or not, and whether entrepreneurship is a continuous action. Entrepreneurship is not considered as a profession group whose functions, duties and responsibilities are defined as in any profession, as people who are considered entrepreneurs exhibit entrepreneurship actions at a certain stage of their career or at a stage related to certain parts of their job (Bozkurt, 2006).
When we do a general literature review, we see that there are hundreds of theories and definitions that try to define entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship concepts. If we include some of these, e.g. according to Hisrich and Peters (2001: 9) who made important contributions to entrepreneurship theory, the entrepreneur is the person who brings together
labor, raw materials and other assets in a way to create greater value / opportunity. The entrepreneur is also the founder of change, innovation and a new order. In this framework, entrepreneurship is seen as a process of creating a new value by taking adequate labor and time, by taking social, physical and financial, risks by obtaining monetary rewards, personal independence and satisfaction. According to Casson and Foss-Klein (1995), entrepreneurship refers to the entire process of taking risks, chasing opportunities, realizing and innovating. In this framework, both the process of opening a company and the process of innovating are within the scope of entrepreneurship. In this context, Bridge et al. Also state that entrepreneurship involves, more specifically, starting a business, owning a business, and developing and expanding the business (Aytaç, 2006).
According to Karabulut, (2009), the entrepreneur analyses the environmental market opportunities, spends additional time, effort, money, demonstrates his skills, creates additional value and takes into account the measurable risks of the competitive market during implementation, by creating additional value.
On the other hand, while Top (2006) points the skills and mental capacities that are based on the entrepreneur and the person based on the talent and mental capacities, the entrepreneurship is the general name of the action, organization, and the new results it creates. Entrepreneurship is a special technology that initially starts with mental perception and intuition, a socialization success with model, trust, image and incubation roles, psychologically conscious emotionality combined with the characteristics of the entrepreneur, and behaviors that focus on success and other behaviors. On the other hand, he defines entrepreneurship as creating a subjective difference between life, value, judgment, hope and expectations and other people.
Entrepreneurs can be defined in different ways in terms of economic, psychological and sociological aspects. For the economist, the entrepreneur is the person who brings together resources, workforce, machinery equipment and other assets, creating more value than his previous values. From the perspective of the psychologist, the entrepreneur is people who need to achieve something, experiment, achieve it and take the authority of others and are motivated by such motives. In terms of the sociologist, the entrepreneur is a reliable person with a reputation and a status in the society. All these differences regarding the definition, of the entrepreneur show that the entrepreneur is the future, the essence and the self of real
As we have seen in the statements above, although there are many definitions of entrepreneurship, the common point in all of these definitions is that the entrepreneur always
"sees the opportunities that others cannot see, and turns them into business ideas”. We should emphasize their "tendency to take risks" and their innovative identity. These features are common to entrepreneurs all over the world. (Patıra ve Karahan, 2010).
Based on all these definitions, it is possible to evaluate entrepreneurship definitions under three headings (Abdullaeva, 2007):
• Value Based Definition: It is the person who creates value (prosperity, employment) thanks to his initiative”. Especially in economy-based definitions, this dimension is emphasized.
• Definition Based on Personal Features: It is the person who can be successful and inventive business leader thanks to his unique individual skills, feature retention and experience”. It is stated here that the entrepreneur has a personality that can makes quick decisions, takes leadership, and responsibility, worka hard, and has a strong desire to succeed.
• Behavioral Definition: It is the person who can gather the necessary resources, take risks, be innovate and mobilize an initiative by seeing the gaps and opportunities around. In this definition, emphasis is on the dimensions of entrepreneurship, especially in evaluating opportunities and taking risks.
2.2.2 Entrepreneurship Types
As can be understood from the definition of entrepreneurship; it has a diverse structure in terms of concept, scope and content. There are many typologies related to entrepreneurship in the literature. Among these, the most known ones are;
• Norman R. Smith, "The Entrepreneur and His Firm: The Relationship Between Type of Man and Type of Company" written in 1967,
• "Influence of Entrepreneur Type, Region and Sector Effects on Business Self- confidence: Empirical Evidence from Argentine Firms" by Justo De Jorge Moreno, Leopoldo Laborda Catillo and Elio De Zuani Masere in 2007.
In the aforementioned studies, entrepreneur types are grouped in seven groups (Özkul, 2008:
152). However, the most common grouping in literature is; the original or idealist
entrepreneur, strategist entrepreneur, tactical entrepreneur and traditional (classical) entrepreneur styles are used (Top, 2006: 18). Table 1 provides summary information on the content of entrepreneurial styles in the literature (Özkul, 2008; Top, 2006 and Abdullaeva, 2000).

2.2.3 Factors affecting entrepreneurship
It is possible to list the factors that may affect the entrepreneurial spirit of the individual and the entrepreneurial qualities of the individual as follows (Soysal, 2010; 86).
Cultural and environmental factors
In addition to explaining entrepreneurship with personal characteristics, studies that analyse social, cultural and economic characteristics of the regions have become a toic of research recently. Accordingly, entrepreneurship is considered as a product of the socio-economic and cultural structure that the individual is in (Soysal, 2010: 86). Environmental factors affecting the entrepreneur can be listed as follows (Top, 2006 ve Soysal, 2010):
• Family,
• Social Behavior Patterns,
• Quality and Level of Education,
• General Economic Conditions,
• Globalization,
• R & D activities become more independent,
• Technology Prevalence,
• Increased Automation,
• Acceleration of Information Flow,
• Change of Input Composition,
• Decreasing the Processing and Distribution Costs of Information,
• Changing the Market Competition Structure and
• Market Related Information.
Individual skills,
The skills and characteristics of the entrepreneur collected in three categories, which he/she amay struggle with, can be listed as follows (Atasoy, 2009: 16). These;
• Technical Skills,
• Entrepreneurial Self and
• Manager Self
Technical Skills (Self): In this category, skills such as written and verbal communication, making presentations, observing the environment, technical business management,
technology interpersonal communication, effective and effective listening, organization networking, management style, training, coaching can be listed (Atasoy, 2009: 16).

2.3 Entrepreneurship Tendency
Many researchers have affirmed that having an objective is the best indicator of volunteer practices. Explicitly, the point of entrepreneurship is a goal rather than a near-end and moment indicator of entrepreneurial conduct. (Jelinek and Bird 1988; Krueger et al. 2000).
Therefore, to perceive and sell entrepreneurship, it is vital to perceive entrepreneurial comprehension (Day and Krueger 2010). Krueger's (2009) ‘entrepreneurial intention’ aim is considered dead, requiring a profound reconsidering on how it is investigated (Liñán and Fayolle 2014).
Consequently, Moriano, Liñán and Fayolle (2014) and Fayolle and Liñán (2014) became leaders, and they brought back into life the distinction between possible research rules and new perspectives on the causes of entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurial intention is the tendency of beginning another business. Krueger (1993) defines enterprising expectations as a promise to start another business. This goal demonstrates the possibility of a business vision to begin business later.
Entrepreneurial goal hence indicates the goals of setting up one's own business later (Van Gelderen et al., 2008). Winged animal (1988) states that innovative goals can be alluded to a condition of an individual brain, which coordinates and helps them toward the turn of events and the execution of new business ideas.
Various studies were focused on factors influencing businesses, for example, character qualities (Lüthje and Franke 2004; Peters and Hisrich 1995; Fuhrmann and Bonnett 1991), capacities and encounters (Bird, 1988) and arranged conduct (Fishbein and Ajzen, 1980;
Ajzen 1985, 1987, 1991; Davidsson, 1995; Autio, et al., 2001; Lüthje and Franke, 2004).
There are conflicting discoveries about the role of individual attributes (Brockhaus et al., 1986).
Particularly in extreme economies, the young grown-ups chase something intense and start another business, and afterwards these new businesses build new jobs, contribute development, and develop a nearby economy (Mishory, 2011).
Considering the inclination to motivate young business visionars, the Malaysian government set different strategies to urge the young grown-ups to run their own business. For example, uentrepreneurship courses are present in all state-funded college. The legislature accepts that higher training establishments are a perfect spot to advance entrepreneurial society in Malaysian social orders.
The Malaysian government has started another program named 1Malaysia Young Entrepreneurs Challenge (1MYEC) on 28 Mac 2011. This program is expected to socially adjust potential college students and urge them to partake in entrepreneurship program ventures (MITI, 2011).
Franke and Lüthje (2004) suggested that an academic setting plays a crucial role in students’
inducement, since university is in the position of guiding and motivating entrepreneurial goals.
Universities’ initiative, developing and supporting activities, seem to “trigger” the students’
intentions to become entrepreneurs and prompt them towards more ambitious start up plans (Lüthje and Franke, 2004). Schwarz et al. (2009) found a positive effect of universities’
activities to encourage entrepreneurship, principals will make more grounded excitement to fire up their own business later.
Additionally, they expressed that the university, alone, condition rises as an intent indicator.
University courses on entrepreneurship and small business management as well as incubators located “on campus appear to be a central role in waking students’ enthusiasm and interest in business ownership (Schwarz et al., 2009).” Although past articles have mainly studied new labour and employee companies, such as academic entrepreneurship, small new companies have also contributed significantly to the transfer of information from universities to the market (Åstebro et al., 2012). The flow of talents proves that the work of the university is a stable source of development (Leydesdorff and Etzkowitz, 2000).
By providing entrepreneurship sequences, preparation, and supplementary assistance, the universities’ goal is to provide a strong environment for businesses and then improve the inspiration and entrepreneurial ability of researchers (Walter et al., 2013). Generally, undergraduates cannot legally open business after completing the exam, but they may do so at a later stage of their career (Wennberg et al., 2011). They can accept their experience as pioneers of social activities during the survey to encourage dissatisfaction caused by researchers and graduates.
Although the impact of participating in individual activities incorporate courses has been extensively studied (Martin et al., 2013), it is conceivable that the impact of these projects on different industries remains mostly unclear.
Overall, empirical evidence about the universities’ impact on students’ entrepreneurial intentions or activities is rare. Walter et al. (2013) shows that organizational-level factors like the availability of entrepreneurship, education, and industry ties increase, entrepreneurial goals of male university students, whereas research, orientation of the department, has a negative effect. Bergmann et. al. (2018) found that the obvious entrepreneurial atmosphere has constructive results in terms of the universities’ expectations for students' innovation.
Since entrepreneurship is an internal miracle, it is crucial to emotionally recognize a person's condition and the relative condition of the person under that (Jack and Anderson 2002). In this way, entrepreneurial goal can be distinguished from individual insights into the stability, business conditions, and personal capabilities of a given society (Bird 1988).
In case that a university gives sufficient information and motivation to enterprise, the probability of picking an entrepreneurial profession among youth may rise (Turker and Selcuk, 2009).
Education likewise can improve entrepreneurial adequacy of students over learning activity, business studied strategy advancement, maintain an actual independent company (Fiet, 2000), and expand their appeal to start another work (Segal, et al., 2005). In Zaidatol (2009) they additionally express that enterprise related courses are expected to build the college undergraduates' entrepreneurial goal and innovative viability.
The entrepreneurial spirit of university students discussed in this article is recommended to be organized by graduates or students. There are two types of entrepreneurship:
Independent entrepreneurship and internal entrepreneurship (Wu Jia, 2010), independent entrepreneurship means that an individual or group establishes another organization;
domestic entrepreneurship means starting in the current huge organization. Basically, the consulting business has a certain degree of free business.
To conclude, the undergraduate’s posses not only comparative qualities with different business visionaries, but in addition some various attributes with them.
1. Psychological Characteristics: University students of the age 18-25 years old, which is the most productive period of inventiveness. Because of their solid feeling of development and less limitation, undergraduate students are most likely to start a business (Li Yuetao, 2010).
2. Structure of Personal Knowledge: University’s students have a great establishment in enterprising abilities under the instruction of the institution. The business model made up by undergraduates acknowledge advanced education and expert information (Wang Xiaofang, 2010). Furthermore, the undergraduates have an establishment of trendsetting innovation because of good scholastic climate in university.
3. Exhaustive Quality: Undergraduate students’, issues are generally less chances to rehearse, absence of enterprising experience, and constrained comprehension for society, particularly for Chinese undergrads (Zhang Weiming, 2010). That is since undergraduates put most of their considerations only in training which is affected by the present Chinese instructive framework and conventional thoughts. This straightforwardly prompts troublesome thorough nature of Chinese undergraduates.
4. Absence of Capital: For all businesspeople, absence of capital is a basic issue in their business process. In China, all the undergraduates are bolstered by their family, so practically all undergraduates are "working class" (Wu Jia, 2010). They do not have their own capital or accessible property for home loan and assurance. Along these lines absence of capital is a conspicuous element for all undergrad business visionaries.
5. Policy Support: Lately, China has been executing institutional and mechanical advancement. Service of Education gave a few arrangements and measures to bolster and energize business of undergraduates. Some neighbourhood governments additionally declared applicable measures to support business enterprise of undergrad.
2.3.1 Ambition
Ambition is described as the constant progress towards achievement, and success Pettigrove (2007). Ambition is linked in with accomplishing as rather than achievement. However, obviously, there is a positive relationship among the two (Maurin, 2002). Ambition is discussed among various philosophers, those who think desire is straigtforward surpass those who think they are plainly terrible (Pettigrove, 2007).
People's objectives are basic since they can influence critical decisions and impacts comprehensive of academic achievement (Goodman and Gregg, 2010). Indeed, numerous studies conclude that young students with advanced educational goals are more motivated and prefer instructive achievement over their peers (Desforges and Abouchaar, 2003).
Unquestionably, the relationship among instructional results and instructive ambition is a confusing one.
Therefore, ambition can be used as an indicator of both academic performance and a conclusive outcome, and may be affected by utilizing self-efficacy, non-open qualities,
encounters and interceding own family factors (Gutman and Akerman, 2008), or identify with principles about the potential (Phillipson and Phillipson, 2007).
Ambition is the researcher's thought process of subject movement often appears in all aspects of life. These fields are inspiring, proficient, and individual. First, the yearning for young people in different situations focuses on understanding and learning their potential, seeking a livelihood, and discovering consistency and autonomy.
Pointing out the “close connection of self-determination and need for self-affirmation, the motives of self-affirmation are shown in aspiration of a young man to influence other people, to control their behavior, to be authoritative etc. They are also shown in aspiration to prove the truth, to win a dispute, to impose one`s own views and solutions of problems. Ambition as a phenomenon of subjectivity carries out the function of self-realization in a profession and life in general.”
As a subjective phenomenon, ambition plays a self-fulfilling role in ordinary career and life (Krishenko E.P 2015).
Students who are critical of their desires tend to be risk-oriented and motivated by life (Quaglia & Cobb, 1996). With no doubt, instructive desire can affect undergraduates' comprehension, life decisions, instructive inspiration and achievement.
Quaglia and Cobb (1996) believe that academic interests are "the capacity of students to realize and learn toset objectives for the predetermination, while being roused in the present to move in the direction of those fantasies".
Therefore, ambition speaks to the recognition that leisure activity is basic as a strategy for upcoming ideas. It emphasizes the personal view that according to the assumption of destiny, every feasible and ideal goal is out of reach. (Quaglia & Cobb, 1996).
Certain types of entrepreneurs are expected to contribute too much to the currency development, these are ambitious entrepreneurs (Hermans et al., 2015). The concept of ambitious entrepreneur and ambitious, segment of entrepreneurship in extant literature evolved over time. Recently, there has been a tendency to shift from urgent core interests to imaginative and highly developed endeavours to tolerate moderate development aspirations Stam et al. (2012).
