Girişmcilik faaliyeti içerisinde olan veya girişimcilik davranışı sergileyenlere ―girişimci‖ denmektedir. Girişmcide olması beklenen bir çok özellik mevcuttur. Ancak, girişimcilik kavramı, girişimci olmayı etkileyen bir çok etken bulunmaktadır. Bireyin sahip olduğu kişilik yapısı girişimci olmayı etkileyen etkenlerden biridir. Farklı kişiliklere sahip olan bireyler girişimcilik açısından da yine farklı davranışlar sergilemektedirler. Çalışmamızın amaçlarından birisi literatürde geçen ―Beş Kişilik‖ boyutunu incelemek ve bu boyutların girişimciliğe etkisine tesbit edebilmektir. Çalışma Nijerya‘da faaliyet gösteren ―petrol pazarlayıcıları‖ nı kapsamaktadır. Çalışmamız petrol pazarlayıcılarının kişilik karakterleri ile girişimcilik özellikleri arasındaki ilişkileri incelemektedir. Bu inceleme sonucunda ise girişimcilik özelliklerini etkileyen etkenlerinin hangi kişilik yapısında daha etkili olduğunu saptanmış ve politika uygulayıcılarına öneriler getirilmiştir. Çalışmadaki veriler Nijerya‘da toplanmış ve tez amaçları doğrultusunda analiz edilmiştir. Anahtar kelimeler: Bağımsız Petrol Pazarı, Genel müteşebbis eğilimleri, Kişilik boyutları. en_US
