This study investigated the relationship between entrepreneurial education and big-five personality traits with entrepreneurial intention. Besides, it assessed how the attitude toward entrepreneurship mediates these relationships. Employing a quantitative approach to address the research objectives, data of 165 respondents were collected through questionnaires. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and path analysis were conducted using AMOS 24 software. Study findings revealed that attitude toward entrepreneurship mediates the relationship of entrepreneurial education and big-five personality traits with entrepreneurial intention. Entrepreneurial education and big-five personality traits cause attitude which in turn affects entrepreneurial intention. These findings suggest that if the appropriate educational supports applied, it could help to develop students' entrepreneurial attitudes and improve matching their skill expectations with their skill achievement. Universities can play a considerable role to promote entrepreneurship view by more focus on increasing entrepreneurial thinking and offering different types of vocational training workshops.
