Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of learning about digital entrepreneurship and digital entrepreneurship skills through ICT self-efficacy among working students in Jombang County. In the evolving digital era, digital business understanding and skills are important for young people to solve business problems. The study was quantitative and scientific and included 165 students from various schools in Jombang County. Data were collected through an online survey and analyzed using structural analysis (SEM) with the help of SmartPLS 3.0 tool. The research results show that learning about digital business and digital competence has a positive impact on ICT self-efficacy, which in turn has a positive impact on students' digital business attitudes. In particular, although digital competence does not have a direct effect on digital entrepreneurship, this effect is mediated by ICT self-efficacy. These findings highlight the importance of developing a digital marketing strategy that should be combined with the support of digital resources and ICT self-efficacy to improve students’ digital marketing readiness. This research contributes to the development of better digital business education at the SMK level and provides recommendations for schools and policy makers to prioritize the integration of legacy technology into business education.
