Abstract

Human resources play a crucial role in economic development within the digital era. This study aims to analyze the influence of digital literacy, human resource quality, and social support on entrepreneurial intention, with self-efficacy serving as an intervening variable. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing a saturated sampling technique involving 250 respondents. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that while digital literacy does not significantly affect entrepreneurial intention, it does have a significant impact on self-efficacy. Neither human resource quality nor social support was found to have a significant effect on either entrepreneurial intention or self-efficacy. Conversely, self-efficacy was proven to have a positive and significant influence on entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, digital literacy exerts a significant indirect effect on entrepreneurial intention through self-efficacy, whereas human resource quality and social support do not demonstrate significant indirect effects. This study underscores the vital role of self-efficacy in fostering entrepreneurial intention and offers practical implications regarding the strengthening of digital competencies and individual self-confidence to encourage entrepreneurial activity.
