“…Although, the negative effect of anxiety on thriving and its subdimensions was found to be small in the current study, it remains an important result given the link between thriving and university students' well-being and academic performance. ( Arici-Ozcan et al, 2021 ;Brown et al, 2017 ). For example, ( Mih ȃilescu, Diaconescu, Ciobanu, Donisan, & Mihailescu, 2016 ) examined the effect of depression and anxiety on medical students' academic performance using grade point average (GPA) scores.…”

“…The author identified that the topic of entrepreneurial tendencies is the leading topic among Turkish researchers publishing in national scientific journals. A similar tendency can be seen in articles available via Web of Science in the last two years, as many scholars are engaging in measuring entrepreneurial tendencies (Gürel et al, 2021;Özcan et al, 2021;Yalçıntaş et al, 2021), understanding the impact of Syrian refugee entrepreneurs on Turkish economy (Baktır & Watson, 2021;Chang, 2021;Kachkar, 2019) and how women entrepreneurs are changing the entrepreneurship scene in Turkey (Ármane et al, 2021;Bozoğlu Batı & Armutlulu, 2020;Erdoğan, 2020;Kurteğe Sefer, 2020). (Öner & Kunday, 2016) notice that entrepreneurship support started to increase and become more visible since 2006.…”

“…Regarding age group, a recent statistical analysis by the Turkish Statistical Institute (Turkish Statistical Institute, 2021b) highlights that Turkey has the youngest population in Europe, with the age group 15-24 accounting for 15,4%of the Turkish population. As already mentioned in the literature review, a growing number of scholars are focusing on the entrepreneurial tendencies of students with the aim of contributing to the agenda on increasing the number of young entrepreneurs tendencies (Gürel et al, 2021;Özcan et al, 2021;Yalçıntaş et al, 2021), hence, utilizing the potential of the youngest population in Europe. Therefore, it would be of utmost importance to understand how Turkish youth is contributing to the entrepreneurial economic activities of the nation, implying a questioning of the association between age and type of self-employment.…”

The objective of the article is to understand the development of Turkish entrepreneurial activity over the last 15 years. Research Design & Methods:The research design employed in this article is a quantitative one, mainly by utilizing the data available from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor and Eurostat to map the structure and the development of Turkish entrepreneurial activity between 2006 and 2020. With respect to gender, age and education status of Turkish self-employed, the article also employs a chi-square test of association. Findings: The main empirical results of this article identify that whereas the overall share of self-employed among the active Turkish population dropped from 24% in 2006 to 17% in 2020, this is not only above the EU-27 average, but also largely due to a drop in the share of own account workers. The article highlights that over the duration of 15 years, the share of job creators among the active Turkish population remained stable despite all the negative events occurred in Turkey. The article also identifies a gender imbalance in terms of self-employment, and a significant difference between educational background of own account workers and job creators. Implications & Recommendations: Understanding the patterns of development of Turkish entrepreneurial economic activity in the last 15 years can serve as a point of departure for both entrepreneurship researchers and policymakers. For entrepreneurship researchers, the case not only allows for a cross-national comparison, but also delivers empirical evidence from a transition country. For policymakers, fluctuations in the number of own account workers deserve more attention whereas stability of job creators can be further analysed for understanding what makes this group particularly stable despite all the negative events that occurred over the last decade. Contribution & Value Added:The study contributes to the literature by offering a current overview of Turkish entrepreneurial activity in the last 15 years. Since the literature on Turkish entrepreneurship is primarily dominated by topics such as students' entrepreneurial intentions, women entrepreneurship or migrant entrepreneurship, the study offers empirical evidence to see the bigger picture of Turkish entrepreneurial economic activity.

Entrepreneurship has been viewed as a critical contributor and an economic engine in a country for creating new jobs and it is crucial for graduates to alter their mindset to become self-employed. Thus, it is necessary to synthesize the factors that impact the entrepreneurial intentions (EI) of students at tertiary level. The aim of this research is twofold; first to identify the factors which have been most studied in the literature and second, to determine which factors are less explored to measure the EI of students. This research adopts the systematic review approach to identify various studies conducted between 2005 to June 2022. The paper further adopted citation analysis and identified the 36 most impactful studies in this area of research. Next, the thematic analysis was conducted and seven main themes (factors) (cognitive, personality, environmental, social, educational, contextual and demographic) of EI determinants were identified. The analysis of the papers clearly demonstrated that the TPB model and cognitive factors dominate this area of research. Furthermore, over half of the studies are conducted in Asia, hence it is important to explore other regions such as Africa, America and Europe and other comparative studies between various regions. The study offers avenues for future research and practical implications of the study for the practitioners.
