| dc.description | Cyber-entrepreneurship (CE), also known as digital entrepreneurship, is a promising approach to applying innovative and creative ideas within the business realm (Tseng et al., 2022). Due to numerous advantages over traditional entrepreneurship, such as reduced operating costs and lowered entry barriers for startups, CE has evolved into a widely accepted and attainable entrepreneurial model (Chang et al., 2019; Wang et al., 2016). Notably, the appropriate educational environment for CE encompasses the promotion of self-efficacy beliefs and profoundly impacts individuals' motivations and inclinations to pursue entrepreneurial careers (Tseng et al., 2022. | |
| dc.description.abstract | This study investigates the influence of cyber entrepreneurial self-efficacy (CESE) and educational support (ES) on cyber entrepreneurial intentions (CEIs) among individuals in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Additionally, in the context of cyber-entrepreneurship (CE), it examines the potential moderating effect of ES on the relationship between self-efficacy and intention.Online surveys were administered via the SurveyMonkey platform to UAE-based individuals who graduated from top-ranking universities within the past five years. A total of 283 valid responses were obtained, and the hypotheses were evaluated using partial least squares structural equation modeling.The findings reveal that CESE and ES both exhibit a significant positive relationship with CEIs. However, the study also indicates that ES does not moderate the relationship between CESE and CEIs.This research contributes to the existing academic literature by applying the theory of planned behavior to CE for individuals in the UAE. Furthermore, in contrast with prior studies, this study demonstrates that ES significantly impacts CEIs. From a practical standpoint, this study offers valuable insights to policymakers and educational institutions regarding the importance of utilizing ES to increase the number of cyber entrepreneurs in the UAE.
