Social entrepreneurship had become a buzz word in the 2000s. Some factors are influencing social entrepreneurship. In 2017, the Johor ruler introduced a social entrepreneurship program named Duta Jauhar, a state-level social entrepreneurship program that may train students to become social entrepreneurs during their study duration. Besides increasing the number of young social entrepreneurs in Malaysia, Duta Jauhar program might benefit the unfortunate societies, for example, single mothers and orphanage homes. Literature shows that it is interesting to find out the relationship between the prior experience, the empathy, and the selfefficacy of the participants towards social entrepreneurship of Duta Jauhar participants. Thus, this study will focus on these three variables. Adopting quantitative methodology, the instrument for data collection was online questionnaires with 101 respondents of Duta Jauhar 4.0 participants. The study found out that there is a relationship between social entrepreneurship intention with prior experience and self-efficacy. However, there is no significant relationship between empathy and social entrepreneurship intention. It is because merely having empathy is not sufficient to enhance the social entrepreneurship intention. The most influential factor in the study is the self-efficacy of the participants. At the last part of the study, the researchers discussed some recommendations for the organisation, which is Yayasan Pelajaran Johor; and the avenue of future research.
