While entrepreneurship is believed to play a crucial role in economic growth and job creation in various parts of the world, particularly in developed countries, the key factors enhancing entrepreneurship behavior and intention in developing countries still need to be discovered. Therefore, this study examines the influence of personality traits and environmental and situational factors on the development of entrepreneurial intention among young students in Yemen. Data were collected through a survey responded to by 487 final-year university students from two universities (public and private) in Yemen. The study's hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling (SEM). The study reveals that personality traits of the need for achievement (nAch) and locus of control (LoC) positively correlate with entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) and entrepreneurial intention. Instrumental readiness positively correlates with ESE but not with entrepreneurial intent. The situational factors show a positive association with entrepreneurial intention but not ESE and a positive relationship between ESE and entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, the study's findings show that ESE partially mediates the relationship between the nAch, LoC, instrumental readiness, and entrepreneurial intention. However, ESE did not mediate the relationship between situational factors and entrepreneurial intention. The study suggests that situational factors can influence entrepreneurial intention among Yemeni students and provide several recommendations to academicians and policymakers.
虽然创业被认为在世界各国的经济增长和就业创造中起着至关重要的作用，尤其是在发达国家，但在发展中国家，增强创业行为和创业意愿的关键因素仍有待发现。因此，本研究考察了人格特质、环境和情境因素对也门青年学生创业意愿发展的影响。数据通过对也门两所大学（公立和私立）的487名大学四年级学生进行的调查收集。本研究的假设采用结构方程模型（SEM）进行检验。研究表明，成就需求（nAch）和控制点（LoC）的人格特质与创业自我效能感（ESE）和创业意愿呈正相关。工具准备度与ESE呈正相关，但与创业意愿无关。情境因素与创业意愿呈正相关，但与ESE无关，且ESE与创业意愿之间存在正相关关系。此外，研究结果表明，ESE部分中介了nAch、LoC、工具准备度与创业意愿之间的关系。然而，ESE并未中介情境因素与创业意愿之间的关系。该研究表明情境因素会影响也门学生的创业意愿，并为学者和政策制定者提供了若干建议。
