This research sought to examine the impact of personal attributes (in the form of entrepreneurial leadership, self-efficacy, and career adaptability) on the entrepreneurial behaviour among managerial employees in the public sector. A total of 184 civil servants participated in the study, representing 52.6% of response rate. Findings from multiple linear regression demonstrated that entrepreneurial leadership (β = .174, p < .01) self-efficacy (β = .205, p < .01), and career adaptability (β = 0.409, p < .01), all were positively and significantly related to civil servants’ entrepreneurial behaviour. The study on the predictors of entrepreneurial behaviour among civil servants, particularly in the Malaysian public sector are vital but remain in scarcity. Significantly, results from the research are able to provide empirical points for the policymakers in executing human capital policies by stimulating entrepreneurial behaviour, particularly among managers in the public sector
