Abstract

This study aims to develop a model for evaluating digital entrepreneurial competencies (DEC) among Serbian university students and to identify the factors that influence their DEC levels. A quantitative research design was employed, using a structured questionnaire based on the EmDigital framework, with responses collected from 149 students. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, non-parametric tests (Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis), and Poisson regression to explore relationships between socio-demographic, contextual, and institutional variables and DEC levels. The key findings reveal that employment status, level of study, field of study, and the mother's educational background significantly affect DEC. Students who are more likely to attain higher DEC levels are those who are employed, pursuing undergraduate degrees, studying information technology, and whose mothers have completed high school. These results provide valuable insights for educators and policymakers seeking to enhance DEC in alignment with market demands.
