Exploring Openness to Experience and Undergraduates’ Digital Entrepreneurial Intention
Summary
The present opinion paper explored the world of digital entrepreneurship and the seeming inexhaustible entrepreneurial opportunities it portends for students to create employment for themselves and employ others. The study discovered that only the experts and the competents in digital entrepreneurship are the ones qualified to seize digital entrepreneurial opportunities as inept have no space to hold unto there. However, while many students do not possess requisite skill, many more do not even know of digital entrepreneurial opportunities, because they have not been exposed to same, despite the fact that ICT course mandates such teachings. The paper is a call for the educator and other stakeholders to practically expound openness to experience in order to enhance learners’ self-efficacies and synergize modalities to open them up to the untapped pool of digital employment opportunities. It is hoped that the success of few students in the digital entrepreneurial cyberspace may attract many more students and, unemployment rate might as well be mitigated.
