Thus, the paper aims to provide an integrated review of the role of personal characteristics (in the form of entrepreneurial leadership, self-efficacy, and career adaptability) on entrepreneurial behavior among Malaysian public sector’s managers, which could subsequently exhibit the performance of the excellent services.

Summary
Human capital development is an important investment in shaping the improvements of organizational service performance, especially in the public sector. In this regard, the Eleventh Malaysia Plan (2016 - 2020) has emphasized “the requirement for accelerating human capital development for an advanced nation, within established organizations” [Economic Planning Unit (EPU, 2015)]. The Malaysia’s government needs to improve the shortage of innovative human capital by enhancing innovativeness and encouraging entrepreneurial activities among its workforce in order to achieve knowledge-based economy and the status of a high-income nation (EPU, 2015). According to Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, civil servant has an integral role in supporting the development, implementation, and enforcement of government policies which will lead to the stability of the country’s economy (New Strait Times, June 12, 2018).
