UNVEILING THE ROLE OF DIGITAL ENTREPRENEURIAL SELFEFFICACY AS ANTECEDENTS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS' INTENTION IN DIGITAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Abstract
Entrepreneurship has become one of the most influential sectors in addressing unemployment and boosting a country's economic growth. The increasing demand for digital products and services has made digital entrepreneurship urgent. This study aims to explore the impact of digital entrepreneurship knowledge on digital entrepreneurial intention through the mediation of digital entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The study data were collected from 229 university students in Indonesia through a self-reported survey. Hypothesis testing was conducted using PLS-SEM with Smart-PLS 4.0. Secondorder confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed as the study design. The study's results indicate that digital entrepreneurial knowledge significantly affects digital entrepreneurial self-efficacy and intention. These results also illustrate that the digital entrepreneurial self-efficacy variable can increase digital entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, the study's results confirmed the mediating role of digital entrepreneurial self-efficacy, which successfully indirectly influenced the relationship between digital entrepreneurial knowledge and entrepreneurial intention. The results of this study provide recommendations to the government as a policy maker and universities in Indonesia to equip digital entrepreneurship knowledge to students through various training programs, incubation centres, start-up accelerators, and optimising entrepreneurship education learning tailored to the actual conditions of the job world. Keywords - Digital Entrepreneurial Intention, Digital Entrepreneurial Knowledge, Digital Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy
