In the current study, data collected from the managers in establishments for workers is analyzed using SPSS 23 package software. Reliability analysis of the data is conducted through the Cronbach Alpha coefficient. Skew and kurtosis values are analyzed to determine whether data in sub-dimensions are in the normal distribution. Data transformation is conducted by drawing squares for “Social Innovation” variance that did not distribute normally. Unpaired T-Test and One-Way Variance Analysis (ANOVA) are performed to determine whether Entrepreneurship Scale and Social Innovation Scale show significance in relation to demographic variables. Results show that there is a significance between all variables -except demographic gender- and the dimensions of entrepreneurship. There is a positive significance between social innovation level and entrepreneurship level. In other words, as the creativity level of employees and workers increases their entrepreneurship level rises.
