  7. Abstract:
  8. The importance of a quick and authentic response in today's hectic business environment shows us the necessity of being alert. By understanding the value of alertness, we seek to find factors affecting it. In this article, we try to learn about new aspects of this structure. We expect that personality attributes and the way we look at the environment are influential in this matter. The amount of "curiosity" that is institutionalized in our personality and our "attitude" towards entrepreneurship has often been examined along with other concepts like mindfulness. However, the exact relationship between them has not been specifically analyzed. For this purpose, we started this research by exploring the entrepreneurial alertness, curiosity, and attitude toward entrepreneurship in 152 business school students in England. We examine the abilities of entrepreneurs and the factors affecting their alertness from a new angle by utilizing the structural equation model. Eventually, we aim to measure the effects of attitude toward entrepreneurship on entrepreneurial alertness, considering the effect of curiosity as a mediator. Our findings indicate that curiosity acts as a complete mediator in the pathway from entrepreneurial attitude to entrepreneurial alertness. Given the significance of the subject matter, our aim in this research is to comprehend this pathway further and maximize its benefits
