Introduction:
Entrepreneurial orientation is a critical factor in the success of an organization and encourages higher performance. Individual entrepreneurial orientation can be influenced by organizational commitment and perceived organizational support. The study aimed to examine the relationship between occupational therapists' organizational commitment, perceived organizational support levels, and their individual entrepreneurial orientation.
Method:
Using an online form, a cross-sectional survey study was conducted with 88 occupational therapists aged between 22 and 28. Occupational therapists completed a socio-demographic information form, the Organizational Commitment Scale, the Perceived Organizational Support Scale, and the Individual Entrepreneurial Orientation Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis.
Results:
Significant positive correlations were found between occupational therapists' individual entrepreneurial orientations and organizational commitment (p = 0.015; r = 0.260) and perceived organizational support (p = 0.045; r = 0.214).
Conclusion:
This study indicates that occupational therapists' individual entrepreneurial orientation increases when their levels of organizational commitment and perceived organizational support increase. Therefore, organizations should strive to maintain high levels of organizational commitment and the support provided by the organization to enhance the entrepreneurial orientation of occupational therapists, which is important for their creativity and innovation.
