這份研究中 ，我們發現最有趣的一點：一個人的個性與他的企圖心沒有很大的關聯性，但是個性和智商的結合效應會對企業精神產生不容小覷的影響。我們提出的另一個重大發現便是：兩個不同國家的受訪者對於商業夥伴的信任、社交族群、經營自己的產業、自我管理技巧等方面的認知，有相當大的差異。
希望此研究可以為學術界和企業界提供有價值的貢獻。

The main purposes of this study are to investigate the preeminent predictors of entrepreneurial behavioral intention; to examine to what extend entrepreneurial behavioral intention predict entrepreneurial behavior; to investigate whether individual’s emotional intelligence is a moderating variable of the relationship between personality and entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, this study is also intended to explore whether social capital, motivational trait are moderating variables of the relationship between individual entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial behavior; to study of what differences exist among Taiwanese and Mongolian self employed individuals based on demographic factors such as gender, age, education, work experience, and business experience.
The empirical data analysis proved that the relationship between individual cognitive characteristics and intention exist; as well as the relationship between intention and
entrepreneurial orientation. The study revealed that intention serves the mediating role between cognitive characteristic and entrepreneurial orientation. It is also found that there are moderating effects of social capital and motivational traits on the relationship between intention and entrepreneurial behavior. Moderating effects of emotional intelligence on the relationship between personality and intention was proved as well.
Most interesting findings from this study, from the researcher’s point of view, are as follow: There are no strong relationship between personality and intention. However, combined effect of personality and emotional intelligence has strong effect on entrepreneurial intention. The other significant finding is that two country respondents significantly differ from each other in terms of trusting their business partners, having social networking, intention to do their own business, and self management skills. It is hoped that this study will give valuable contribution to both academic and business society.
