Abstract: The main purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the risk-taking tendency and achievement needs of Syrian refugee entrepreneurs on their entrepreneurship potential. In the measurement tool designed for this purpose, the risk-taking scale, the achievement needs scale, and the entrepreneurship potential scale, which has been created from the study of Oren and Bickes, has been used. The study is carried out in Gaziantep, which is one of the provinces where Syrian refugees live most intensely in Turkey. The data obtained from 395 Syrian refugee entrepreneurs who set up businesses in Gaziantep by the survey method have been evaluated with explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation, and structural equation modeling. As a result of the correlation analysis, positive and significant relationships were determined between their risk-taking tendency, achievement need, and entrepreneurship potential. Besides that, in the structural equation model created to test the research hypotheses, it has been found that the effects of both the risk-taking tendency and the achievement need on entrepreneurship potential were positive and significant.
