Abstract
This study investigated the role of entrepreneurial passion in recognition of opportunity,
developing entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and entrepreneurial intention, in the shaping
of entrepreneurial actions in the presence of proactive personality. This study applied
partial least squares structural equation modeling to test the hypotheses on a
sample of 346 university students from Jiangsu province, China. The output of
the study showed that entrepreneurial passion positively and significantly influenced
entrepreneurial alertness, entrepreneurial self-efficacy to entrepreneurial intention, and
entrepreneurial behavior. The findings also showed that a proactive personality positively
and significantly moderated the relationship between entrepreneurial intention and
entrepreneurial behavior
