Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to examine the influence of personality traits (agreeableness, conscientious, neuroticism, openness and extraversion) on entrepreneurial intention and to assess the mediating role of educational support on the relationships between personality traits and entrepreneurial intention. A total of 1000 students at Universiti Teknologi MARA Cawangan Kelantan (UiTMCK) were randomly selected. Questionnaire was distributed to various faculties such as the Faculty of Business & Management, Faculty of Accountancy, Faculty of Computer & Mathematical Science, and Faculty of Information Management and Art & Design. A total of 800 responses were collected and 753 of the responses were useable for the final analysis using the structural equation model partial least square (SEM-PLS 3.0). The findings revealed that agreeableness, conscientious, neuroticism, and extraversion have a significant influence on entrepreneurial intention but openness showed an insignificant influence. Besides, this study also found that educational support did not mediate the relationships between agreeableness, conscientious, neuroticism, openness and extraversion. Keywords: personality traits, entrepreneurial intention, educational support

人格特征与创业意向：公立高等教育教育支持的中介作用

本研究旨在探讨人格特质（宜人性、尽责性、神经质、开放性和外向性）对创业意向的影响，并评估教育支持在人格特质与创业意向关系中的中介作用。共有1000名吉兰丹大学的学生被随机选择。问卷被分发到各个学院，如商业与管理学院、会计学院、计算机与数学科学学院以及信息管理与艺术与设计学院。共收集了800份回复，其中753份可用于结构方程偏最小二乘模型（SEM-PLS3.0）的最终分析。研究结果表明，宜人性、尽责性、神经质和外向性对创业意向有显著影响，而开放性对创业意愿的影响不显著。此外，本研究还发现，教育支持并没有调节宜人性、尽责性、神经质、开放性和外向性之间的关系。关键词：人格特征、创业意向、教育支持
