The study attempts to investigate empirically how Digital Literacy (DL) affects the Business Uncertainty and Economic Performance particularly Small Enterprises (SEs) in Sri Lankan. The data were collected from 110 owners of SEs, conducting face to face interviews and analysed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling. The results discovered that the different dimensions of DL have a negative impact on business uncertainty and positive effects on the economic performance of SEs. Thus, the study recognized that the DL highly affects the minimization of business uncertainty and thereby increases the economic performance of SEs in Sri Lanka. Further, the results confirmed that the business uncertainty has a strong significant mediate effect on the relationship between DL and the economic performance of SEs in Sri Lanka. The study strongly recommends SEs to strengthen the digital technologies which play a dominant role to enhance economic sustainability minimizing the behavioural and environmental uncertainty. Thus, the study provides useful insight into the role of DL on the economic performance of SEs minimizing business uncertainty in Sri Lanka from a novel perspective.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
