This study investigates the relationship between individual differences and entrepreneurial intentions, focusing on the proactive personality scale. Using a sample of 181 students, the research found that entrepreneurial intentions were significantly associated with gender, education, having an entrepreneurial parent, and possessing a proactive personality. The strongest association was observed between entrepreneurial intentions and the proactive personality scale. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that proactivity explained significant incremental variance in entrepreneurial intentions beyond the other variables. The study contributes to the literature on individual differences in entrepreneurship by demonstrating that proactivity is a strong predictor of entrepreneurial intentions. The findings support the idea that proactive individuals are more likely to pursue entrepreneurial careers, aligning with the interactionist perspective that suggests individuals influence their environments. The study also highlights the utility of the proactive personality scale in understanding entrepreneurial behavior. However, the cross-sectional design and limited sample heterogeneity are noted as potential limitations, suggesting the need for future research to explore these issues further.This study investigates the relationship between individual differences and entrepreneurial intentions, focusing on the proactive personality scale.
