Previous studies have primarily focused on platform usability or general e-commerce adoption, often overlooking the motivational, contextual, and capability-based factors that influence individuals\u2019 willingness to engage in digital franchising as either entrepreneurs or consumers. To address this research gap, the present study applies the Motivation-Opportunity-Ability (MOA) framework to examine how personal motivations (e.g., self-expression, financial rewards), perceived platform opportunities (e.g., support, attractiveness), and individual capabilities (e.g., digital literacy, self-efficacy) shape entrepreneurial intention and, in turn, influence consumption adoption intention in digital franchising environments. An online survey was conducted using a non-probability purposive sampling method. The final sample consisted of 491 respondents from Taiwan, all of whom were either entrepreneurs operating digital franchises in the fashion industry or consumers who had purchased fashion products through digital franchising platforms, thereby ensuring contextual relevance to the study\u2019s focus. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results indicate that expected external rewards (\u03b2 = 0.456, p &lt; 0.001) and platform support (\u03b2 = 0.315, p &lt; 0.001) are the most influential factors in shaping entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, entrepreneurial intention significantly mediates the relationship between MOA antecedents and consumption adoption intention (\u03b2 = 0.176, p &lt; 0.001), highlighting its role as a key behavioral mechanism. These findings extend the MOA framework to a new empirical setting and offer practical implications for platform developers, franchisors, and policymakers seeking to promote participation in digital franchising. Future research is encouraged to explore cross-industry comparisons, generational differences, and longitudinal approaches to further enrich the understanding of digital franchising adoption dynamics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jtaer20020107","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,19]],"date-time":"2025-05-19T05:37:13Z","timestamp":1747633033000},"page":"107","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Digital Franchising in the Age of Transformation: Insights from the Motivation-Opportunity-Ability Framework"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3009-5787","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tung-Lai","family":"Hu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Business Management, National Taipei University of Technology, Taipei 106, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chuang-Min","family":"Chao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Business Management, National Taipei University of Technology, Taipei 106, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-9920-5843","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chien-Chih","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Management, National Taipei University of Technology, Taipei 106, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-3934-7873","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chia-Hung","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Management, National Taipei University of Technology, Taipei 106, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shu-Che","family":"Chi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Business Administration, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taipei 106, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,19]]},"reference":[{"unstructured":"MOEA (2024).
