“…Therefore, social entrepreneurship offers the promise of a solution to the challenges of the worldwide community in general and developing nations in particular. Social entrepreneurship is particularly important to Sri Lanka because the country faces many challenges of inequality such as poverty, unemployment and gender discrimination (Surangi, 2018). Further, social enterprises are simultaneously competing to achieve two different conflicting domains, namely social and commercial.…”

In recent years, there has been a growing body of literature on social entrepreneurship, yet researchers in developing countries have not adequately explored this field. This qualitative study delves into the role of social entrepreneurs in Sri Lanka, examining how they operate and the factors influencing their choices. Grounded in social reality and aligned with social constructionist philosophy, the research engaged ten selected social entrepreneurs through interviews and applied thematic analysis to interpret the data. The findings reveal valuable insights into the strategies employed by social entrepreneurs in starting and managing their enterprises. Individual and social factors such as family background, experience, social networks, and religion significantly influence the decision to become a social entrepreneur. The study's developed model bridges subjective experiences of social entrepreneurs with existing literature, contributing to a deeper understanding of how social entrepreneurship is practiced and constructed.

Nascent mumpreneur is a mother with one or more children coming up with a new venture to support herself and her family. The debate about the motivation for mumpreneurs to start their new business is going on and underresearched. Therefore, this study aims to define the major motivational factors that influence mumpreneurial intentions in Jordan, specifically amongst nascent mumpreneurs. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs was employed to discover these factors. This quantitative cross-sectional study uses convenience sampling to collect data from 81 nascent mumpreneurs through an online survey that included nascent Jordanian mumpreneurs. After confirming the validity and reliability of the tool, the multiple regressions test was used to test the hypotheses. The results indicate a strong relationship between Maslow’s needs and mumpreneurial intentions, where r equals 0.74, and Maslow’s needs can explain 54% of changes in mumpreneurial intentions, where R2 is 0.54. The results also show that the need for esteem influences mumpreneurs’ intentions (β = 0.43), and the need for self-actualization influences mumpreneurs’ intentions (β = 0.80). At the same time, the physiological needs, the security needs, and the need for belonging do not influence mumpreneurial intentions, where significance is 0.74, 0.09, and 0.09, respectively. Moreover, the results show that the marital status and level of education do not moderate the influence of Maslow’s theory of needs on mumpreneurs’ intentions, where the significance for both is more than 0.05. Finally, the study recommends developing mumpreneurial incubators and providing workshops and training for potential mumpreneurs.
