Abstract
Entrepreneurial intention refers to a person's motivation to pursue a career as an entrepreneur and explore new business ideas. Entrepreneurship plays a significant role in supporting the nation's economy by creating wealth and fostering economic growth. The objective of this research was to investigate the impact of personality traits and entrepreneurship education on business administration students’ entrepreneurial intentions. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data from 424 students in the business administration program. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The emerging findings can be summarized as follows: 1) Openness to experience and conscientiousness had a significant positive influence on entrepreneurial intentions. Conversely, no statistically significant correlation was established among the personality traits of neuroticism, extraversion, and agreeableness and entrepreneurial intentions, 2) Education focused on entrepreneurship, encompassing the cultivation of both entrepreneurial knowledge and practical experience, exerts a discernibly substantial and positive influence on the entrepreneurial intentions of students.
