Technopreneurship, Entrepreneurship, Technology, Financial Satisfaction, Government SupportAbstract
Technopreneurship, a relatively recent form of entrepreneurship, has gained popularity among young people in Pakistan. Despite efforts from influencers and the government, awareness about technopreneurship remains limited, especially in the post-COVID-19 era, where it faces challenges in developing competitive entrepreneurs. This study aims to explore the link between technopreneurship and financial satisfaction, with a focus on the moderating role of government support. To achieve this, a research model was created based on the concepts of Technopreneurship, government support, and financial satisfaction. Researchers surveyed technopreneurs from across Pakistan using questionnaires and analyzed the collected data using SPSS. The results reveal a significant connection between technopreneurship and financial satisfaction, with this relationship being influenced by the level of government support. However, the findings suggest that the government needs to do more to foster technopreneurship by providing a favorable business environment and financial support. While this research focused on technopreneurs in Pakistan, future studies could refine the population scope or explore the impact of other factors on the relationship between technopreneurship and financial satisfaction.
