ABSTRACT
The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and proactive personalities on entrepreneurial intentions among migrant returnees through attitude toward entrepreneurship. This research employs a survey-based methodology and uses a 27-item questionnaire with five-point Likert for a total sample of 195 migrant returnees. The research was conducted in the East Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia. The hypotheses derived from the research model were assessed through structural equation modeling using Lisrel. The results show the indirect effect on the relationship between proactive personality and entrepreneurial intention through attitude toward entrepreneurship, while entrepreneurial self-efficacy was found to have a significant negative effect on entrepreneurial intention. By doing so, this research significantly contributes to the literature of entrepreneurship. The results also provide policy makers with important insights on developing entrepreneurial intentions on post-migrant workers and giving attention to key elements of the entrepreneurial process.
