The high rate of unemployment in the Niger Delta is largely responsible for the recent incidence of social ills in the region. Many youths continue searching for jobs because they lack knowledge of the motivations and entrepreneurial characteristics necessary to become self-employed. An enlightened view of these factors, and the role they play in the entrepreneurial process, might inspire the unemployed youths in the region to make informed decisions about becoming self-employed. Drawing from the theories of motivation and planned behavior, the purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences and perceptions of 20 successful youth entrepreneurs in the region regarding the factors that influence the decision to choose a career in entrepreneurship. Using semistructured interviews for data collection, participants shared their perceptions and lived experiences regarding the research phenomenon. The analysis and coding of data helped identify emergent themes based on the modified van Kaam approach. The findings of this study revealed key motivations and characteristics of the youths, including (a) the lack of desired jobs, (b) a sense of determination, (c) a desire to maximize potentials, (d) a willingness to take risks, (e) a desire for financial independence, and (f) an eagerness to demonstrate self-motivation. The research findings may contribute to social change by inspiring Niger Delta youths to explore their motivations and entrepreneurial characteristics through increased entrepreneurial engagements. The increased engagement of youths in entrepreneurship might reduce the unemployment rate, lead to poverty-reduction and peaceful coexistence, and ultimately enhance socioeconomic development in the region.
