Abstract

Purpose – This study examines whether digital entrepreneurial competence accounts for the entire association between perceived digital access readiness and digital entrepreneurial intention, as a recent full-mediation finding implies, among students of one Indonesian office administration education programme. Design/methodology/approach – A near-census survey of 344 of 400 students (86.0%) at a public university in Surakarta was analysed with confirmatory factor analysis (including robust and ordinal checks), multiple regression, LMG relative-importance analysis, bias-corrected bootstrap decomposition of associations, multiple imputation, measurement-invariance tests across venture-status groups, and equivalent alternative orderings. Finding/Results – Access readiness and competence jointly accounted for 41.3% of intention variance, and competence made the larger relative predictive contribution (69.2% versus 30.8%). Access readiness had an indirect association through competence (ab = .203, 95% CI [.152, .261]) and a direct association (c′ = .214, 95% CI [.129, .307]). Both held across robustness checks and in students with and without an existing online business, for whom scalar invariance was supported. However, the four access items were empirically inseparable from basic digital-literacy items, and alternative variable orderings fitted the data equally well. Originality/Value – The study provides a TPB-informed, non-causal decomposition for a population not previously examined, shows that self-reported access measures can capture broader digital readiness, and specifies the objective-access and time-lagged designs needed to test whether competence transmits access effects.
