SYSTEMATIC REVIEW: DIGITAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP INTENTION
Abstract
With the widespread use of online platforms and digital technologies, entrepreneurship is gaining tremendous traction, especially in the digital world. However, the entrepreneurship literature is full of studies on traditional entrepreneurship intentions, while little is known about digital entrepreneurs and digital entrepreneurship intentions. Therefore, this study aims to systematically review and structure the existing empirical literature to identify the main factors that positively and significantly influence digital entrepreneurship intentions. The primary data sources in this study were research articles and conference proceedings published in English from (2010 to 2020) on Google Scholar, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect databases. A systematic review approach was used to find a total of 18 related empirical articles. The results show the most common factors that have a positive and significant effect in predicting digital entrepreneurship intention among the reviewed articles. It was also found that few empirical studies have addressed digital entrepreneurship intention. The findings of the study contribute to the current literature in the field of digital entrepreneurship by presenting the significant factors that help students to start their online businesses.
