Turkish Entrepreneurs in the Investment Decision Process Against Bureaucratic Barriers: How Psychological Cognitive Behavioral Concerns have Impact on Social Capital
Abstract
While some of the candidates who actively benefit from entrepreneurship training are successful in starting a business, some of them fail to establish a business by examining the effect of social capital in line with the factors that affect the organization or cannot establish a business in line with the problems encountered in bureaucracy during the application process of investment incentive channels. The aim of this article is to understand the acceptance level of the entrepreneurship project against bureaucratic barriers. As a result of the active entrepreneurship training of the Ankara Development Agency (AKA), the process encountered in the incentive investments of the last 4 year’s 400 entrepreneur projects within the scope of 100 business idea projects will be followed. The results of the study indicate that in the analysis of the relationship between scale scores, there is no relationship between the general tendency towards entrepreneurship and the scale scores (p> 0.05) a strong positive relationship between communication problems in the application process and communication problems in the evaluation process (r =, 692). There is a strong positive correlation (r =, 624) between communication problems regarding the application process and the general perception of the bureaucratic structure. Furthermore, there is a very strong positive correlation (r =, 837) between communication problems and general perception of the bureaucratic structure during the evaluation process. However, there is a weak positive correlation (r =, 248) between the general perception of bureaucratic structure and cognitive social capital. The findings of the research underline that the importance of psychological burnout is observed in the minds of entrepreneurs who intend to invest with incentives. The government also had local and foreign experts prepare structural and functional reports for bureaucracy. The failure of its projects to turn into investment forces the entrepreneurial psychology and the organizational structure to which it attaches value to devalue, not to overcome their problems with the code of positive citizenship virtues and to give up the desperation attempt, and force the decision to turn to public employment.
