The effect of digital competency on entrepreneurial intention through entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial self efficacy
This study thoroughly examines the crucial issue of low entrepreneurial interest among undergraduate students in Indonesia, where the ratio is still below the ideal threshold of 5% to spur national economic growth. The main objective of this quantitative study is to analyze the direct and indirect effects of Digital Competence (DC) on Entrepreneurial Intention (EI), through the dual mediating role of Individual Entrepreneurial Orientation (IEO) and Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy (ESE). The method used is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Square (PLS) with SmartPLS software. The research subjects involved 178 active undergraduate students in their fifth semester or above from the Faculty of Business/Economics in Surabaya who were involved in entrepreneurial activities, selected through purposive sampling. Primary data was collected using a Likert scale questionnaire. The results of data analysis showed significant findings: Increased Digital Competence positively and significantly increased Entrepreneurial Intent. This positive effect was proven to apply both directly and indirectly, with ESE and IEO acting as effective mediators. The practical implications of these findings provide strategic recommendations for higher education institutions. Universities are advised to develop entrepreneurship curricula that are closely integrated with digital technology. In addition, increasing students' awareness of the importance of digital mastery, increasing self-efficacy, and adopting a proactive attitude (entrepreneurial orientation) are essential as the main provisions for transforming into relevant value creators in the modern business ecosystem.
