Abstract

The aim of this study is to try to determine the thoughts of undergraduate and associate degree students on entrepreneurship and their judgments on ethics, especially for students studying at Trakya University. Since there are not many studies that reveal the judgments of undergraduate and associate degree students on entrepreneurship and ethics issues together, a research was conducted in this direction and the opinions of undergraduate and associate degree students on these issues were tried to be revealed. For this study, a survey based on qualitative research methods was conducted on 559 students studying at 5 faculties and 5 vocational schools selected from Trakya University and two departments / programs from each unit. SPSS program was used in the analysis of the data obtained as a result of the research and factor analysis was made on these data. As a result of the analysis of the data within the scope of the research, a significant relationship was found between the gender, education level, presence of relatives who started their own business in their families and their employment status during the student period of the students participating in the research and their entrepreneurship tendencies and ethical attitudes. The study will contribute to the gap in the literature in the context of comparing the thoughts of undergraduate and associate degree students on entrepreneurship and ethics.
