Abstract
Entrepreneurs represent valuable assets to any society. They contribute to the economy of nations by creating new ventures and job opportunities. The question of what drives individuals to become entrepreneurs has received much attention by entrepreneurship scholars. However, the entrepreneurship literature is lacking with regard to IT cognitive and emotional factors that can significantly influence individuals to become entrepreneurs. In this study, we propose a theoretical model that extends theory of planned behavior by incorporating the technological role into established entrepreneurial models. In particular, the proposed model explains how general computer self-efficacy and computer anxiety determine entrepreneurial intention. We plan to replicate established hypotheses and test novel ones using a unique design that has a potential methodological contribution.
