Resumen
- Introduction: Entrepreneurs are critical to the long-term economic success of any country. Researchers considered a variety of aspects attempting to determine the importance of entrepreneurial intentions. Objectives: This study examined the influence of entrepreneurial education and personality traits on entrepreneurial intentions among senior students at Jordanian public universities, with a focus on the role of entrepreneurial self-efficacy as a mediator. Methods: The study sampled 389 students from a population of 30,236 using stratified random sampling and a cross-sectional design. The data were analysed using SmartPLS 3.Results: Entrepreneurial education to entrepreneurial intention (0.329), personality traits to entrepreneurial intention (0.228), entrepreneurial self-efficacy to entrepreneurial intention (0.435), entrepreneurial education to entrepreneurial self-efficacy (0.550), and personality traits to entrepreneurial self-efficacy (0.338). Both entrepreneurial intention (R Square=0.727, Q Square=0.514) and entrepreneurial self-efficacy (R Square=0.577, Q Square=0.392) exhibited strong predictive power and large predictive relevance according to the results of this study. Conclusions: These results suggested that universities should incorporate entrepreneurial education and personality development into their curricula in order to effectively foster entrepreneurial intentions. Thus, the research contributed to the academic understanding of the complex interplay between these variables and provides practical suggestions for educational institutions seeking to foster entrepreneurial intentions
