Chan and his colleagues (2012) developed the Entrepreneurial, Professionalism, and Leadership (EPL) career aspirations scale to provide a guide for students to choose their career as well as to assist professionals in their future-oriented career strategies. This study aimed to contribute to the evidence on the generalizability of the EPL scale with data collected from a sample of Turkish working adults (n=107). It also sought to test the predictive role of personality in shaping career aspirations. The results largely supported the validity of the EPL scales in this sample. In addition, while there were no gender differences regarding motivations for a professional or a leadership career, women scored lower in terms of entrepreneurial motivations as well as entrepreneurship efficacy. Regarding personality variables, the most consistent findings were with respect to openness to experience, which was predictive of career efficacy in general as well as extraversion which played an important role in predicting an aspiration for leadership. Finally, honesty-humility was found to be negatively related to leadership motivation, entrepreneurial efficacy, and leadership intent.
