The interaction between environment and individual personality determines career. Over the past decades, the role of personality traits in explaining entrepreneurship cannot get much attention of researchers. To fill this gap, this study aims to investigate the effect of personality traits (extraversion, openness to experience, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and agreeableness) on the entrepreneurial intentions (EI) along with the mediating role of financial risk taking (FRT). Sample size consists of 500 students of business and management of different universities of Pakistan, out of which 466 useable questionnaires were collected and analyzed. The results of the study are consistent with conventional wisdom as explored by past studies. In line with past studies and proposed hypothesis, we found that both extraversion and openness to experience have a positive association with FRT, whereas neuroticism, conscientiousness, and agreeableness have negative association with FRT. The results also revealed that there is positive association between FRT and EI; however, FRT did not mediate the relationship between agreeableness and EI.
环境与个人性格之间的相互作用决定了职业发展。在过去几十年里，人格特质在解释创业方面所起的作用并未得到研究人员太多关注。为填补这一空白，本研究旨在调查人格特质（外向性、经验开放性、尽责性、神经质和宜人性）对创业意向（EI）的影响以及财务风险承担（FRT）的中介作用。样本量包括巴基斯坦不同大学的500名商业与管理专业学生，其中收集并分析了466份可用问卷。本研究结果与以往研究探索的传统观点一致。与以往研究和提出的假设一致，我们发现外向性和经验开放性都与财务风险承担呈正相关，而神经质、尽责性和宜人性与财务风险承担呈负相关。结果还显示，财务风险承担与创业意向之间存在正相关；然而，财务风险承担并未在宜人性与创业意向之间起中介作用。
