[Abstract]
In order to establish the entrepreneurial talent, building recognition of the start-up should be preceded as a career although much support and infrastructure are activated. Therefore, we looked at the impact on the entrepreneurial intention by using the personality traits and the self-leadership for recognizing entrepreneurship as a career in life cycle.
Aimed at 199 college students of S University, Big 5 personality traits and self-leadership influence on entrepreneurial intention by mediating the entrepreneurial self-efficacy was analysed. The first analysis, the factors that influence the entrepreneurship intention in the positive(+) are the Openness and Agreeableness in personality, the natural reward strategies and constructive thinking strategies in self-leadership factors. Second, the factor on the positive effect on entrepreneurial self-efficacy is the openness of personality traits, and all three sub-factors of self-leadership. Third, by mediating the entrepreneurial self-efficacy, factors that affect the entrepreneurship intention are the openness in personality traits and natural reward strategies, constructive thinking strategies in the self-leadership.
The results of academic and practical implications are that stable personality traits and self-leadership strategies can substantially increase the entrepreneurial intention by this interaction as experience of entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship programs affect the self-confidence to succeed. Especially it can be seen that the fact that the Openness and Agreeableness rather than Conscientiousness needed to achieve the goals affect the entrepreneurial intention is the result of fact that the students have access with a new trial or curiosity rather than with fear of change in the approach to the start-up behavior. Also, personality traits and self-leadership strategy help the youth to have a positive entrepreneurship awareness, which can increase effectiveness of entrepreneurship education program and policy support. Therefore, it suggest that a psychological approach is needed in the ion and evaluation. Thus the experience of a start-up training and entrepreneurship programs interact with personality traits and cognitive strategies to their successful entrepreneurial self-confidence, that can further increase the entrepreneurial intention by affecting the entrepreneurial self-efficacy.
Therefore, deriving support measures to increase entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education effectiveness about program development is required. So, young people who have potential success preferentially are evaluated and ed in the start-up support and training. It improves the performance of the founders and contributes to create new jobs in the policy of support development.
Finally, In future studies it is required to examine the conceptual relationship between personality traits and self-leadership in depth, whether appropriate educational intervention as acting strategies and personality traits can affect a change in perception and attitudes about start-up by since early years childhood.
