Entrepreneurs are valuable assets because of their enormous contribution to their nations’ economy through creating new ventures and job opportunities. The entrepreneurship literature is informative with respect to what drives individuals to become entrepreneurs. However, it does not shed light on IT-related factors that can explain and predict entrepreneurial intention. The current study investigates the technological perspective and develops a theoretical model that extends the theory of planned behavior (TPB) by incorporating cognitive and emotional IT-related factors into established entrepreneurial models. More specifically, the developed model explains how general computer self-efficacy and computer anxiety can influence entrepreneurial intention. The study provides interesting results, as it compares two models generated for entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs. Contributions are communicated to both academia and industry.

创业意向：一般计算机自我效能和计算机焦虑的影响

企业家是宝贵的资产，因为他们通过创造新的事业和就业机会为国家经济做出了巨大贡献。关于什么促使个人成为企业家，企业家文学提供了很多信息。但是，它并未阐明可以解释和预测企业家意图的与IT相关的因素。当前的研究调查了技术观点，并开发了一种理论模型，该模型通过将认知和情感IT相关因素纳入已建立的企业家模型来扩展计划行为（TPB）的理论。更具体地说，所开发的模型解释了一般的计算机自我效能和计算机焦虑会如何影响创业意向。这项研究提供了有趣的结果，它比较了为企业家和非企业家生成的两种模型。贡献被传达给学术界和工业界。
