The result showed that Javanese entrepreneurs  had a very high level of psychological capital, while both Chinese and  Minangnese entrepreneurs hold on the same high degree. Meanwhile, the  data analysis regarding the successfulness of business showed that most  of the Javanese entrepreneurs reached a high level of success, Chinese entrepreneurs were average, and Minangnese entrepreneurs were low.
