Abstract

Insight, creativity, imagination, vision, introspection, and optimism are critical thinking-style patterns that enhance self-efficacy and self-directed learning in the face of failure. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy, on the other hand, is linked to people’s perceptions of their ability to do specific activities and entrepreneurial positions successfully. It is critical for successful entrepreneurs to see the opportunities that exist around them, as well as whether and how they secure funding for their ventures. For foreign entrepreneurs, the proper positioning of these occurrences is a vital threshold.

In Türkiye, where the number of immigrants entering the business world and examples of success and failure have proliferated, the need to evaluate the relationship between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial performance has emerged. Because a process-oriented evaluation of entrepreneurship is required for the study, and because methodological studies based on statistical analyses will be insufficient to explain this process, data on the emotional states of the entrepreneurs, the determination, evaluation, and application of business opportunities, and how they will cope with the problems they will face in the study have been evaluated.

Using the “experience sampling methodology,” an innovative methodological approach that will help migrant entrepreneurs to provide assessments of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a variety of situations occurring in their natural environments, allowing for an in-depth examination of nature and causal directionality across variables, an evaluation will be made about the method to be followed in the evaluation of migrant entrepreneurs residing in Türkiye.
