Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: Nigerian undergraduate students' risk-taking tendencies, individual characteristics, and entrepreneurial intentions are explored in this research, which advances our knowledge of these phenomena. While there has long been discussion about their relationship, there has only been minimal empirical data addressed in developing nation contexts such as Nigeria. Entirely theoretical research was conducted in order to close the gap, with the majority of the data coming from a complete assessment of notable works of literature and policy documents. As a result of the findings, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between undergraduate students' risk-taking tendencies and their entrepreneurial intentions. According to the findings, risk-taking tendencies play a significant role in the development of entrepreneurship among students in Nigeria, which is supported by the findings. As a result of this finding, the government should undertake more comprehensive and realistic initiatives to promote entrepreneurship among graduates.
