Abstract

Entrepreneurial competencies have a proven track record of enhancing both personal and business success. However, there is a dearth of research on the role of entrepreneurial competencies when the focus is on software developers' entrepreneurial intention. Therefore, this chapter aimed to present the influence of entrepreneurial competencies on the entrepreneurial intention of software developers. Specifically, this study draws on the Theory of Planned Behavior to develop an integrated model of entrepreneurial intention incorporating the role of entrepreneurial competencies along with factors influencing entrepreneurial intention. According to the findings of structural equation modeling, the entrepreneurial competencies strongly influence the development of entrepreneurial intention. Mediation analysis validated that the software developer's perceived behavior control is the strongest mediator in the correlation between entrepreneurial competencies and entrepreneurial intention.
