Factors influencing Technopreneurial Intention: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Technopreneurship is crucial in bringing in new innovation and changing the economies. The importance of technopreneurship is even more prominent during the COVID19 pandemic era. However, it is still deemed as a new breed of entrepreneurship and required further investigation. Specifically, the init...

Technopreneurship is crucial in bringing in new innovation and changing the economies. The importance of technopreneurship is even more prominent during the COVID19 pandemic era. However, it is still deemed as a new breed of entrepreneurship and required further investigation. Specifically, the initial stage in developing technopreneuship, which is fostering technopreneurial intention needs further scrutiny. This study was performed to validate the factors influencing technopreneurial intention through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Three exogenous constructs were identified from literature review; they were capability in using computer, Web-based learning ability and communicative ability. Meanwhile, the endogenous construct was technopreneurial intention. A total of 359 students from a local university were selected as the sample through proportionate stratified sampling method. The instrument used was a set of online questionnaire consisted of 23 items. Based on the analysis performed, the initial measurement model was revised by deleting five items recording low factor loading values. The revised model was able to fulfill the requirements for unidimensionality and model fit. Composite reliability, convergent validity and discriminant validity were further achieved. As a conclusion, unidimensionality of constructs was met, the measurement model had reasonable good fit, and its constructs were reliable and valid.
