Abstract
This study examines the interplay among personality traits—innovativeness, locus of control, and need for achievement—and their influence on entrepreneurial intention among undergraduates at a private university in Kabul, Afghanistan. Utilizing structural equation modeling, this research explores how entrepreneurship education serves as a mediator within these relationships. Results demonstrate significant associations between the personality traits and entrepreneurial intention. Notably, need for achievement inversely impacts entrepreneurial intention. Entrepreneurship education exerts a partial mediation effect on the link between innovativeness and entrepreneurial intention, no significant mediation on the relationship between locus of control and entrepreneurial intention, and a full mediation effect on the relationship between need for achievement and entrepreneurial intention. These insights provide actionable information for educational policymakers and institutions aiming to enhance entrepreneurship education programs to foster entrepreneurial intent among students.
