Development of digital entrepreneurial intention model in Uncertain Era

Abstract

Student’s digital entrepreneurial intention is a key to develop nascent digital entrepreneurs from university graduates in an uncertain era. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of digital entrepreneurial education, risk propensity and environment support on entrepreneurial self-efficacy and digital entrepreneurial intention of university students in Semarang. The research population is students from several universities in Semarang City who have participated in digital entrepreneurship learning. 90 students are elected to be tested as research respondents. The collected data are then analyzed using descriptive analysis of the structural equation model. Risk propensity, entrepreneurial education, and environmental support positively support entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Risk propensity and entrepreneurial education also found a significant effect on digital entrepreneurial intention, but environment support found insignificant effect on digital entrepreneurial intention. University, government and the private sector are highly expected to increase students' digital entrepreneurial intention through training and learning programs both in the classroom or outside the classroom.
