This study analyzes the role of emotional intelligence in mediating the influence of business risk perception and entrepreneurial knowledge on digital entrepreneurship intention. Using PLS-SEM, the results show that business risk perception and entrepreneurial knowledge significantly influence emotional intelligence, and that risk perception and emotional intelligence significantly influence digital entrepreneurship intention. However, entrepreneurial knowledge does not directly influence digital entrepreneurial intention, and emotional intelligence does not mediate these two relationships. These findings confirm that digital entrepreneurial intention is more influenced by risk perception and emotional ability than by entrepreneurial knowledge alone.
