The research study adopted a cross-sectional design, supported by the achievement motivation theory. The population comprised an infinite population of large number of rural entrepreneurs. 520 sample size was purposively selected as the respondents that completed the questionnaire. The data collected for the study was analysed using PLS-SEM processed on SMARTPLS statistical software. &nbsp;The results indicated a statistically significant and positive correlation between risk-taking and proactiveness, and the alleviation of poverty. However, it was found that innovativeness does not demonstrate a statistically meaningful impact on the reduction of poverty. Policymakers and development organisations should endorse entrepreneurship programmes that encourage strategic risk-taking and proactive engagement among rural entrepreneurs. Moreso, further research should be conducted to investigate the impact of innovation on poverty reduction.<\/em><em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Keywords: Entrepreneurial Orientation, Risk-taking, Innovativeness, and Proactiveness, Poverty Alleviation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ijeti.uniben.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/INTERNATIONAL-JOURNAL-OF-ENTREPRENEURSHIP-IJETI-VOL.1-NO.2-OCTOBER-2024_102024-95-109.pdf\">Download Article<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unyime, Abasido ANTHONY 1&nbsp;, Sunday IGOCHE2 , &nbsp;Sadiq Usman BELLO3 &nbsp;&nbsp;&amp; Idara Uduk MBOHO4 \u00a01, 2 &amp; 3Department of Business Administration and Management, Federal Polytechnic Daura 4Department of Business and Organisational Communication, University of Uyo &nbsp;&nbsp;Correspondence &nbsp;Email- saddeeqbelloban@gmail.com&nbsp; &nbsp; Abstract The study examined the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (risk-taking, innovativeness, and proactiveness) and poverty mitigation [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-volume-1-issue-2-october-2024"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ijeti.uniben.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ijeti.uniben.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ijeti.uniben.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ijeti.uniben.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ijeti.uniben.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ijeti.uniben.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":257,"href":"https:\/\/ijeti.uniben.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255\/revisions\/257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ijeti.uniben.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ijeti.uniben.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ijeti.uniben.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
