FACTORS INFLUENCING THE SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEURSHIP OF IMMIGRANTS: THE CASE OF KAVALA AND DRAMA CITY
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between demographic data and motivation of immigrant entrepreneurs with the perceived course of their businesses. The methodology that was used for this survey includes the questionnaires with the appropriate sampling. The findings show that the intrinsic motivations of immigrant entrepreneurs are those that ensure the success. Perhaps, various external incentives such as low salaries and discrimination in the labor market to push immigrants into selfemployment, but in the context of this research did not specify that these factors contribute to the business success of immigrants. Deci and Ryan (1985, 2000) determined that internal prompting is associated with clinging to activity, whereas external prompting associated with its abandonment because of that behavior internally motivating people is more stable, while the externally prompted more unstable. Perhaps the persistence of internally motivated immigrants interprets their success in their entrepreneurship.
