AL-GHAZALI, Basheer M.. Navigating the Digital Landscape: factors shaping entrepreneurial dynamics in Saudi Arabia. Retos [online]. 2024, vol.14, n.27, pp.85-99. ISSN 1390-8618.
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the factors impacting entrepreneurial intentions, behaviors, innovations, and the sense of self-efficacy in the digital entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. By illuminating the roles of the ecosystem, entrepreneurial intention, innovation, and education, the study aspires to provide insights into distinctive dynamics of digital entrepreneurship in this geographical setting. The study employs both qualitative in-depth interviews with subject matter experts and quantitative statistical analysis of survey responses. The Saudi digital entrepreneurial ecosystem is explored qualitatively through 15 in-depth interviews with industry experts and quantitatively with 248 survey responses that allow for hypothesis testing using structural equation modeling. The quantitative data in this study were analyzed using PLS-SEM. The results emphasize the mediating roles of entrepreneurial ambition and innovation, highlighting the key significance of the digital entrepreneurial ecosystem in driving entrepreneurial behavior. Entrepreneurial education is emerging as a powerful element, acting as a moderator in shaping entrepreneurial success. The research provides useful information about the unique characteristics of digital entrepreneurship in Saudi Arabia.
