Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the effects of the entrepreneurship tendency of orga-nizational employees on social innovation. A quantitative study is conducted with participants working in the cooling-heating sector in Istanbul. Survey technique is used for 390 individuals of the sample. In the current study, data collected from the managers in establishments for workers is analyzed using SPSS 23 package software. Reliability analysis of the data is conduct-ed through the Cronbach Alpha coefficient. Skew and kurtosis values are analyzed to deter-mine whether data in sub-dimensions are in the normal distribution. Data transformation is conducted by drawing squares for “Social Innovation” variance that did not distribute normal-ly. Unpaired T-Test and One-Way Variance Analysis (ANOVA) are performed to determine whether Entrepreneurship Scale and Social Innovation Scale show significance in relation to demographic variables. Results show that there is a significance between all variables -except demographic gender- and the dimensions of entrepreneurship. There is a positive significance between social innovation level and entrepreneurship level. In other words, as the creativity level of employees and workers increases their entrepreneurship level rises.
