Abstract—Information and Communications Technology
Self-efficacy is an essential factor in promoting
technopreneurial interest and fostering technopreneurial
competence. This study focuses on the impact of Information
and Communications Technology Self-Efficacy on
technopreneurial Intention, which technopreneurial Learning
mediates. The researchers used an explanatory survey as the
research method and gathered 200 selected participants from
engineering students in the Philippines during COVID-19
Pandemic. The collected data was analyzed using Structural
Equation Modelling (SEM). The results show that Information
and Communications Technology Self Efficacy has a positive
and significant effect on both technopreneurial Intention and
technopreneurial Learning. Additionally, this study established
that technopreneurial Learning mediates the relationship
between Information and Communications Technology Self
Efficacy and technopreneurship Intention. The result indicates
that boosting Information and Communications Technology
Self-Efficacy and technopreneurship Intention Learning will be
more successful in improving technopreneurship Intention.
Index Terms—ICT, self-efficacy, structural equation
modeling technopreneurial intention, technopreneurial
learning.
