Abstract
A descriptive research approach was used to determine the prediction of self-concept trait and entrepreneurial orientation on students‟ academic performance. The sample consisted of two hundred private secondary school students in Sagamu LGA. Data was collected through a combination of self-developed questionnaire tagged "self-concept traits questionnaire” and “Students‟ Entrepreneurial Orientation Index” respectively. The data obtained was analyzed using multiple regression analysis, correlation co-efficient and z-test statistical tools at 5% error margin. Results indicated significant prediction of the independent variables on the criterion variable; self-concept was a potent predictor of academic performance; gender difference was observed in the self-concept trait of the students; and no gender difference was recorded in the entrepreneurial behavior and academic performance of the students. It was recommended that effective school-based guidance programme should be used in enhancing the self-concept, self-efficacy and self-esteem of the students.
