Dataset Measuring digital entrepreneurial competencies in the Republic of Serbia

The dataset <b>“Merenje digitalnih preduzetničkih kompetencija u Republici Srbiji (Responses)”</b> contains data collected through an online survey designed to measure <b>digital entrepreneurial competencies (DEC)</b> among Serbian university students. It includes <b>149 responses</b> gathered from undergraduate and master’s students, primarily from the <i>Belgrade Banking Academy</i>, with participants representing various study fields such as finance, management, marketing, accounting, and IT in finance. The dataset is structured in <b>33 columns</b>, beginning with demographic variables—such as higher education institution, study level, field of study, employment status, gender, age, and parental education—and continuing with self-assessment items related to DEC. These items are based on the <b>EmDigital framework</b> and use 5-point Likert scales to capture students’ perceived skills in areas like creativity and innovation, information search and analysis, and business prospecting. In addition to self-evaluative questions, the dataset includes <b>applied knowledge items</b>, such as identifying digital tools for email marketing, catalog creation, or business modeling (e.g., <i>Business Model Canvas</i>, <i>freemium model</i>). Some open-ended questions allow qualitative insight into students’ reasoning and examples (e.g., naming an emerging technology or explaining budgeting decisions). The dataset is suitable for <b>descriptive and inferential analysis</b>, including comparisons across demographic groups, and can be used to explore how contextual and personal factors influence perceived digital entrepreneurial abilities.
