Abstract

Since entrepreneurs contribute to the economy of nations by creating new ventures and job opportunities, they are considered valuable assets. Entrepreneurship literature has given much attention to what drives individuals to become entrepreneurs from various perspectives, however, it is lacking with regard to IT cognitive and emotional factors that can influence individuals to become entrepreneurs. This research in progress sheds light on the technological perspective and develops a theoretical model that extends theory of planned behavior by incorporating IT factors into established entrepreneurial models. Particularly, the developed model explains how general computer self-efficacy and computer anxiety can determine entrepreneurial intention. SEM is used to test the developed model and preliminary results are presented. Potential contributions are communicated to both academia and industry.
