“…In parallel with the study's finding Åmo and et al (2006) found that the normative dimension has a strong, positive and significant influence on employee's IB. However, Türker and İnel (2012) determined that perceived individual innovativeness decreases with a higher external locus of control.…”

Organizational climate (OC) is important in creating the essential conditions to ensure high job performance (JP) of teachers and encourage them to show innovative behavior (IB) in both classrooms and school-wide. High JP can be observed for teachers as a result of suitable OC and IB. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between the OC characterized by support, cohesion, fairness and pressure, JP and IB of teachers. The study sample consisted of 398 primary and secondary school teachers working at the Adana province of Turkey. Three scales related to OC, JP and IB were used to collect data. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was performed to analyze the effects of OC on IB and JP as well as the effect of IB on JP. According to the findings; OCs characterized by support, fairness and pressure had effects on the JP of teachers. OCs characterized by support and pressure had effects on the IB of teachers and the IB of teachers had an effect on JP of teachers.

“…The finding obtained about the first hypothesis was that female pre-service teachers' arithmetic means of external locus of control was higher when compared to males whereas the male pre-service teachers' arithmetic means of internal locus of control was found to be higher than females. There are many studies in literature Fagbohungbe & Jayeoba, 2012;Gašić-Pavišić, Joksimović, & Janjetović, 2006;İslambay, 2014;Özen Kutanis, Mesci, & Övdür, 2011;Sherman, Higgs, & Williams, 1997;Stocks, April, & Lynton, 2012;Türker & İnel, 2012) which conducted that males have more internal locus of control than females while females have more external locus of control when compared to males. These findings have parallels with the findings of this study.…”

The aim of the current research study was to examine the link between critical thinking dispositions and locus of control in pre-service teachers. The participants of this study were selected via easily accessible sampling technique. The participants consist of 347 pre-service teachers (203 female, 144 male) in Kütahya, Turkey. The Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scale and Critical Thinking Dispositions Scale aided in data collection. Once the data was transferred to an electronic environment and did not show a normal distribution in terms of gender and grade variables, so Mann Whitney-U test was used in order to comparing analysis and Spearman's correlation analysis was used for examining the level of relationship between variables. According to comparison analysis, the external locus of control and critical thinking dispositions differentiated with respect to gender and grade. In correlational analysis and regression analysis, there was a negative relationship between external locus of control and critical thinking dispositions. Results were discussed by the light of the related previous studies.

“…Innovation is essentially about change and it is often disruptive, risky and costly (Türker and İnel, 2012) that is why entrepreneurs must have some specific knowledge to make appropriate decisions. Innovativeness can be defined as "the notion of openness to new ideas as an aspect of a firm's culture" (Hurley and Hult, 1998).…”

Background and Purpose: Despite scholarly interest in understanding the role of different determinants on entrepreneurs and their behavior, little is known about the relationship between entrepreneurial curiosity and innovativeness. This research explores the relationship between entrepreneurial curiosity, which motivates entrepreneurs to gather information about their business and innovativeness that motivate entrepreneurs to incorporate innovations into entrepreneurial processes. Design/Methodology/Approach: Participants in this study were entrepreneurs from Slovenia and USA. By using structural equation modelling, we linked the two constructs of entrepreneurial curiosity and innovativeness to test the influence. Results: Results indicate that entrepreneurial curiosity positively influences innovativeness. The results of this study indicate that at the frame of entrepreneurship psychology entrepreneurial curiosity is important for innovativeness. Conclusion: This paper links the two studied constructs and presents a valuable contribution for entrepreneurship theory; therefore, the results could be used for a further scientific research as also for practical implications.
