Abstract
This study is done to identify the relationship of personal traits which include attitude toward behavior, social norm and perceived behavioral control as well as entrepreneurial knowledge with entrepreneurial intentions. In Malaysia, government has been encouraging young adults to venture into businesses or innovation activities rather than depending on employment opportunity.
