To investigate how motivational, cognitive, and emotional factors shape digital entrepreneurial intentions by integrating social cognitive theory and self-determination theory.
Conducted a cross-sectional study using convenience sampling with a final analytic sample of N=269.
Evaluated hypothesized relationships using partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and validated configurational models using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA).
Intrinsic motivation was the strongest positive predictor of digital entrepreneurial intention, with digital entrepreneurial self-efficacy and extrinsic motivation also exerting significant positive effects.
Fear of digital failure exerted a negative but statistically insignificant effect on digital entrepreneurial intention and did not moderate the effects of intrinsic or extrinsic motivation.
