Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of entrepreneurial competency in mediating the
influence of personality traits on entrepreneurial intention. Data were collected using
a questionnaire sent to medium-sized business managers in the province of Bali,
Indonesia; the sample size is 385 people. Assuming a response rate of 85%, 453 questionnaires
were sent. Of these, 142 returned and a usable response rate of 30.37% was
achieved. Data were analyzed using SEM-PLS with WarpsPLS 7.0. The findings show
that personality traits have a significant effect on entrepreneurial competency (β =
0.513; p < 0.001), personality traits significantly affect entrepreneurial intention (β
= 0.266; p < 0.001). Furthermore, this study proves that entrepreneurial competency
significantly affects entrepreneurial intention (β = 0.436; p < 0.001). This study also
found the Sobel test value of 5.770, which means that entrepreneurial competency can
influence personality traits and entrepreneurial intention as a partial mediator. There
is a comprehensive view of the relationship between personality traits, entrepreneurial
competency, and entrepreneurial intention. This study not only provides an understanding
of the relationship between personality traits and entrepreneurial intention,
but also provides evidence on the mechanism by which entrepreneurial competency
mediates the relationship between personality traits and entrepreneurial intention.
