This study examined the impact of selected personality traits-innovativeness, internal locus of control, need for achievement and propensity to take risks-on the entrepreneurial intention of Saudi students (young entrepreneurs). The study sample included 165 students from an applied college affiliated with King Faisal University. The participants completed an online self-administered questionnaire, the data from which were analyzed using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The findings revealed that the characteristics of innovativeness, internal locus of control and propensity to take risks had a positive relationship with entrepreneurial intention. However, the need for achievement had no relationship with entrepreneurial intention. The study model predicted approximately 25% of the total variance in entrepreneurial intention. It is recommended that in future studies, the sample size should be increased and the scope of the study should be broadened.
本研究考察了某些人格特质——创新性、内控 locus、成就需求和冒险倾向——对沙特学生（年轻创业者）创业意向的影响。研究样本包括来自费萨尔国王大学附属应用学院的165名学生。参与者完成了一份在线自填式问卷，使用偏最小二乘结构方程建模（PLS-SEM）方法对问卷数据进行了分析。研究结果表明，创新性、内控 locus 和冒险倾向与创业意向呈正相关。然而，成就需求与创业意向没有关系。该研究模型预测了创业意向总方差的约25%。建议在未来的研究中增加样本量并扩大研究范围。
