Abstract
This Paper Aims to Provide Economic Implications to Activate College Start-ups by Performing an International Comparative Study on the Personality Characteristic Elements that Affect Entrepreneurial Intention of University Students. This Investigation Employed Entrepreneurial Self-efficacy, Entrepreneurial Preference, Desire of Achievement, and Fear of Failure as Personality Characteristic Factors. Furthermore, Social Perception was used as the Moderating Variable. The Result Shows that Entrepreneurial Self-efficacy and Entrepreneurial Preference had a Positive Effect, while fear of Failure had a Negative Effect on Entrepreneurial Intention. Moreover, Desire of Achievement did not have any Effects. The Analysis of Moderating Effect of Social Perception between Personality Characteristics and Entrepreneurial Intention Shows that the Moderating Effect did not Appear.
