Understanding It Entrepreneurial Intention: an Information Systems View
نویسنده
چکیده
IT (Information Technology) entrepreneurs have been contributing greatly to economic growth and job creation. Despite this, IT entrepreneurship remains understudied in business research. In particular, studying IT entrepreneurial behavior has been ignored in both Information Systems (IS) and entrepreneurship disciplines. This study for the first time empirically examines IT entrepreneurial behavior and its antecedent factors from the IS discipline. The findings suggest that two key IS constructs, personal innovativeness in IT (PIIT) and computer self-efficacy (CSE), respectively, have direct and indirect influences on IT entrepreneurial intention. As the first step of a research effort, this study calls for more empirical studies on IT entrepreneurial behavior from the IS discipline. The study concludes with discussion of the limitations and suggestions for future research.
