Abstract

Fostering entrepreneurship has become a topic of the highest priority in many areas (Lüthje and Franke, 2003). In this sense, it could be viewed as a function of both personality characteristics and a situational circumstances or social conditions (Lachman, 1980). Entrepreneurial tendency is the potential of individuals to create new enterprise and/or engage in innovative/enterprising behavior within existing organization (Cromie, 2010). The main focus of this study is to explore the role of individualistic and collectivistic culture and the Machiavellian side of the personality on entrepreneurial tendency. The population of entrepreneurs included in this study was comprised of people who have not performed at least one entrepreneurial act yet but have a high potential to start entrepreneurial process (Lachman, 1980) in Istanbul/Turkey. The subjects were both undergraduate/graduate students studying at the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences and Social Sciences Institute of a Private University located in Istanbul and those students’ immediate surroundings
