摘要

This study aims to determine whether students participating in Indonesian university-based accelerator programs possess the psychological traits necessary for innovation-driven entrepreneurship. The importance of this research lies in explaining one contributing factor—psychological trait misalignment—that may help clarify why these programs, despite significant institutional investment, often fail to produce innovation-driven entrepreneurs in collectivist societies. Using the Big Five Personality framework and cosine similarity analysis, the psychological profiles of 738 participants across 16 programs over five years were assessed against an ideal entrepreneurial configuration. Results reveal a consistent misalignment—particularly elevated Neuroticism and Agreeableness—shaped by cultural norms that inhibit assertiveness and risk-taking. These findings suggest the need for culturally responsive accelerator designs that account for psychological predispositions in context, offering one lens through which to understand the complex barriers to entrepreneurial emergence.
