Abstract: This study explored the influence of behavioural and psychological traits on agroentrepreneurial intentions among secondary school students. Secondary school students aged 15-19 years were selected. Data were collected using 300 pieces of questionnaire, and structural equation modelling (SEM) was used for analysis. It was found that secondary school students’ agroentrepreneurial intention is significantly and positively related to perceived behavioural control, attitude towards behaviour and tolerance for ambiguity but significantly and negatively related to selfconfidence. This study offers evidence of the effects of behavioural and psychological traits of secondary school students on agro-entrepreneurial intentions. This study explicitly focused on secondary school students. The findings provide valuable information for curriculum and policy development.
