What the paper says

Abstract This study explores the intricate relationship between personality traits and entrepreneurial intentions, integrating psychological and entrepreneurial theories. It presents a comprehensive framework emphasizing personality as a key factor in entrepreneurship. The framework categorizes traits into three groups. Narrow traits risk-taking propensity, need for achievement, and locus of control are directly linked to entrepreneurial behaviors and decision-making. Selfish traits narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism relate to self-centered and manipulative tendencies that may shape entrepreneurial actions. Big Five traits, openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism, offer a broader perspective on personality and behavior. The theoretical contribution lies in synthesizing these diverse traits into a cohesive framework, bridging gaps in existing literature. By integrating multiple personality dimensions, this study enhances the understanding of the psychological foundations of entrepreneurial intentions. This approach provides a structured platform for future research and a deeper insight into how personality influences entrepreneurship.
