However, the mechanisms by which changes in institutional contexts and personality traits affect individuals\u2019 entrepreneurial motivation have not received enough attention from researchers. This paper aims to fill this gap in the literature by examining the joint effects of personality traits and business barriers on one\u2019s motivation to engage in entrepreneurial activity. A structured questionnaire was developed to capture the above linkages. To measure the latent variables, factor and reliability analyses were utilised. To examine the relationships, a regression analysis was performed on a unique dataset of respondents from three counties: Czechia, Hungary, and Serbia. The results show that personality traits positively influence motivation towards entrepreneurship. Furthermore, external barriers (ecological and technological issues), and infrastructure factors positively affect entrepreneurial motivation. From an academic viewpoint, personality traits and motivation to engage in entrepreneurial activity can be nourished by education, highlighting the role of universities in this regard. Our paper\u2019s findings should trigger the interest of policymakers who aim to introduce new instruments or change the existing ones (designing policies) to boost entrepreneurship.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/admsci12040176","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,25]],"date-time":"2022-11-25T04:05:39Z","timestamp":1669349139000},"page":"176","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Personality Traits and Business Environment for Entrepreneurial Motivation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Giorgi","family":"Zarnadze","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Management and Economics, Tomas Bata University in Zlin, 76001 Zlin, Czech Republic"}]},{"given":"Ines","family":"Dika","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Economics, University of Tirana, 1001 Tirana, Albania"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9324-181X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gentjan","family":"\u00c7era","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Economics and Agribusiness, Agricultural University of Tirana, 1029 Tirana, Albania"}]},{"given":"Humberto Nuno Rito","family":"Ribeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ESTGA\u2014\u00c1gueda School of Technology and Management, University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"449","DOI":"10.1002\/smj.4250130605","article-title":"Strategy Implementation: A Comparison of Face-to-face Negotiations in the Peoples Republic of China and the United States","volume":"13","author":"Adler","year":"1992","journal-title":"Strategic Management Journal"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"50","DOI":"10.1108\/17561391211200939","article-title":"Entrepreneurial Environments and Growth: Evidence from Malaysia GEM Data","volume":"4","author":"Ahmad","year":"2012","journal-title":"Journal of Chinese Entrepreneurship"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ajzen, Icek (1985).
