Abstract

The study aims to explore the relationships between personality traits, entrepreneurship, and self-efficacy among youths. Utilising the BIG 5 Personality Test, the Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Entrepreneurial Orientation Scale, the study attempts to measure traits such as extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness in a sample of 38 young adults. The findings indicated a statistically significant moderate positive correlation between neuroticism and self-efficacy, suggesting that individuals with neurotic traits, characterized by anxiety, anger, and self-consciousness, tend to have higher levels of self-efficacy. This counters typical negative connotations associated with neuroticism. Besides, a significant positive correlation was observed between entrepreneurship and self-efficacy, suggesting that youths inclined towards entrepreneurship recognise their efficacy, setting realistic goals. The study accentuates the importance of recognising the role of personality, especially neuroticism, in influencing self-efficacy and entrepreneurial orientation in young individuals. Understanding these relationships can provide insights for fostering entrepreneurial success among youths.
