Elde edilen veriler SPSS Statistics 17.0 analiz edilmiştir. İlk olarak, ankete katılanların 10 demografik özellik ve İnsan Kaynakları Fonksiyonları temelinde hazırlanan 20 soru için ayrı ayrı dağılımları incelenmiştir. 11. soru ise girişimci olmak için motivasyon faktörlerini ölçmüştür.

Son olaraksa, uygulanan anketteki her bir demografik özellik ile 20 soru arasında istatistiksel bir ilişki olup olmadığı Ki-kare testi (x2 test) ile incelenmiştir.
