| Summary: | Present-day entrepreneurship discussions reveal the importance and influence of
entrepreneurship Orientation (EO) on organizational performance and profitability, yet its

discussion also shows its influence on organizational performance. However, knowledge of
entrepreneurial orientation influencing at the individual level such as ex-juvenile
entrepreneurs is still lacking. Therefore, this study aims to examine the entrepreneurial
orientation and the influence of self-efficacy on the positive behavioural change among exjuvenile entrepreneurs in Katsina state, Nigeria. This study employed qualitative design and
data collection through semi-structured interviews; and thematic analysis as well as NVivo
12 Pro used to organize data obtained from 10 cases of ex-juvenile currently conducting
entrepreneurial activities Katsina state, Nigeria. The results of the study show how
entrepreneurs who were ex-juvenile successfully make behavioural changes through the
approach and application of entrepreneurial-oriented behavioural development. Apart from
that, ESE is also able to influence the positive behavioural changes of ex-juvenile. In general,
the superiority of SE influence in self-well-being, demonstration and self-realization of
emotions makes ex-juvenile entrepreneurs’ more positive and increases their confidence in
entrepreneurial self-efficacy and guarantees behavioural change as expected. Basically, this
study fills the knowledge gap through testable prepositions and its concludes that
entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial self-efficacy influence ex-juvenile
entrepreneur’s positive behavioural change. Likewise, this study shows the importance of its
contribution towards developing the field of entrepreneurship in general and to be precise to
