Abstract
The paper contributes to the existing literature in assessing the contributions of Personality Traits, Personality Models, and University Systems that enhance entrepreneurial intentions (EIs) in Higher Education to produce entrepreneurial mindset graduates. Qualitative and Quantitative surveys conducted in 2018 and 2019 involved 568 and 400 students and faculty respectively from eight Ghanaian Universities. Face-to-face interviews and focused group discussions were employed. Data analysis was performed using Excel, Statistical Package for Social Sciences, and Smart Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model. The findings indicated that Locus of Control, Subjective Norms, and Need for Achievement sufficiently impacted EIs. University Culture, Leadership, and Institutional Structures also impacted EIs greatly. Time and resource constraints constituted a limitation of the study. Longitudinal research to ascertain graduates’ preparedness to remain entrepreneurs and not job seekers after graduation is recommended. Governments, Public Policymakers, and University leadership in higher education need to know the factors of personality traits, Personality Models, and University systems that enhance EIs in Universities for informed decisions to produce entrepreneurial mindset graduates.
