“…In this study, we adhered to previous studies (e.g. Ramadani et al, 2021;Farani et al, 2017;Al-Mamary and Alraja, 2022;Younis et al, 2020) and defined DEI as a self-acknowledged conviction of a person to start a digital business and plan for its execution at some point in the future using a variety of digital technologies, creating an innovative application of them or developing novel ones. What is known is that DEI and entrepreneurial intention share similar characteristics since digital entrepreneurship is a subcategory of entrepreneurship (Younis et al, 2020).…”

“…Regarding DEI, several empirical studies investigated its determinants from the perspective of TPB in developed countries (Taiwan: Chang et al ., 2020; Tseng et al ., 2022; China: Lai and To, 2020). Other studies were conducted in developing countries, such as Pakistan (Batool et al ., 2015); Indonesia (Darmanto et al ., 2022); Iran (Farani et al ., 2017); Kosovo (Ramadani et al ., 2021); Romania, Malaysia and Bangladesh (Ashraf et al ., 2021) and particularly in Saudi Arabia (Alferaih, 2022; Al-Mamary and Alraja, 2022; Alzamel et al ., 2020). Our understanding of DEI is guided by the TPB of Ajzen (1991), as one of the most influential theories in the field to provide a useful framework for understanding the complexities of human social behaviour (Ajzen, 1991; Kautonen et al ., 2015) and in particular those of digital entrepreneurial behaviour.…”

“…The TPB antecedents were found to significantly relate to an individual's intention to Internet entrepreneurship (Wang and Lin, 2016); digital entrepreneurship (Al-Mamary and Alraja, 2022; Farani et al ., 2017; Ramadani et al ., 2021) or e-entrepreneurship (Alzamel et al ., 2020). The previously mentioned studies, which used TPB in digital entrepreneurship, found that ATB, followed by PBC and then by SNs are among the most influencers of digital entrepreneurship-related intentions of individuals (Wang and Lin, 2016; Farani et al ., 2017; Tseng et al ., 2022).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study, based on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and digital entrepreneurship literature, is to unveil the role of digital entrepreneurial knowledge and entrepreneurial role models in shaping digital entrepreneurial intentions (DEIs) among Saudi Youth through a moderated mediation perspective. This study aims to propose that the relationship between digital entrepreneurial knowledge and intention is mediated by main TPB antecedents under the moderating role of entrepreneurial role models.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from a sample of 487 Saudi students from three main Saudi public universities located in Riyadh using an online survey questionnaire. By applying SEM, this study builds and tests the measurement and structural models to examine the hypothesised relationships among main variables.FindingsResults revealed that the main antecedents of TPB (namely, attitudes towards digital entrepreneurship and perceived control behaviour) are significantly related to DEI. In addition, digital entrepreneurial knowledge indicates indirect effects on intentions via these two antecedents. However, entrepreneurial role models exert only a negative and significant moderating effect on the relationship between perceived behaviour control and DEI.Research limitations/implicationsThis study contributes to the literature by showing how most of the TPB antecedents can play a mediating role between digital entrepreneurial knowledge and the intentions of Saud Youth. The main limitation of this study is that it was not possible to generalise the findings. Future research directions are proposed to add new insights.Practical implicationsThe results of this study have clear implications for both theory (entrepreneurship scholars) by investigating DEI and its determinants and for practice (entrepreneurship educators and policymakers) by promoting digital entrepreneurship among youth through university-based awareness and building capability programs and curricula.Originality/valueThe study helps to understand the role of digital entrepreneurial knowledge in shaping DEI through the development of an extended TPB intention-based model. The findings also indicate that digital entrepreneurial knowledge has indirect effects on Youth's intentions. The findings show insights related to the influence of entrepreneurial role models on TPB antecedents in the transitional context of Saudi Arabia.

PurposeThe current research aimed to investigate the external enablement role of Digital Infrastructures (DI) in the interplay of entrepreneurial cognitions and innovation.Design/methodology/approachData from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) and Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) were used for analyses. This yielded a sample of 8,601 Generation Z entrepreneurs operating in 25 European countries.FindingsApplying hierarchical moderated regressions showed that socio-cognitive components of an entrepreneurial mindset (self-efficacy, risk propensity, opportunity identification) affect innovation among Generation Z entrepreneurs. More importantly, DI plays an external enablement role in the interplay of cognitions and innovation among Generation Z entrepreneurs.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the socio-cognitive theory of entrepreneurship by integrating an external enablement perspective into the study of cognitions and entrepreneurial outcomes (here, innovation). It contributes to the digital technology perspective of entrepreneurship by connecting the conversation about the socio-cognitive perspective of entrepreneurship regarding the role of cognitions in innovation to the conversation in information systems (IS) regarding technology affordances and constraints. This study extends the application of the external enabler framework to the post-entry stage of entrepreneurial activity and integrates a generational perspective into it.

“…Although using digital technology has become an essential element in the entrepreneurship process (Rippa and Secundo, 2019), there are a few studies that clearly investigate the factors that influence digital entrepreneurship intention. In this regard, some of these studies include the study of Ramadani et al (2021), who revealed the factors that influence digital entrepreneurial intention applied to Kosovo companies. Another study is by Younis (2018), who studied in depth the factors that affect digital entrepreneurs as applied to university students in Qatar.…”

Entrepreneurship is an economic tool that aims to enhance people's lives. Digital entrepreneurship is one of the latest theories that academic research tries to cover. This study examines the factors that influence undergraduate tourism students to apply digital entrepreneurship. Despite the presence of several studies that tackled different aspects of entrepreneurship in Egypt, there is limited research about applying digital entrepreneurship, especially among undergraduate tourism students. So, the current study tries to fill this gap. In this context, the research depended on the quantitative method in which the researcher distributed questionnaires to the third and fourth-year students enrolled in the Tourism Studies Department, Faculty of Tourism and Hotel Management, Helwan University. The valid questionnaires are 213 out of 250. The research used regression analysis to prove that DL, AE, PT, and ATDE affect the DEIs of undergraduate tourism students. In this regard, the study hypotheses are supported. It is worth mentioning that the field study points out the main barriers that hinder applying digital entrepreneurship among undergraduate tourism students. Finally, the study provided many recommendations and proposed a framework to enhance the application of digital entrepreneurship among undergraduate tourism students.
