“…In this regard, there is a difference between social entrepreneurs – some of them are reluctant to put social objectives aside, even in cases of financial instability. Erpf et al (2020) call this attitude a “profit resilience,” as the profit pursuit is seen as less important. On the other side, some social entrepreneurs consider ensuring financial liquidity to be the precondition for achieving their social mission.…”

“…On the other side, some social entrepreneurs consider ensuring financial liquidity to be the precondition for achieving their social mission. They can be described as “profit tolerant” (Erpf et al , 2020). In general, there is a perception that goals need to be balanced, but doing that on a daily basis seems to be a challenge for social entrepreneurs.…”

“…A study by Erpf et al (2020) analyzed tensions experienced by social enterprises in post-socialist realities based on contrasting dimensions of that hybrid organisation. Some of their findings indicate that social entrepreneurship development in post-socialist society may be hindered by “historically inherent attitudes that non-profit initiatives should be altruistic rather than profit-oriented” and resilience to profit earning “because of historically-rooted negative attitudes to profit and being dependent on state aid” (Erpf et al , 2020, p. 20).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to critically evaluate the meaning of being a social entrepreneur in a society marked with multiple transitions. It aims to understand how theoretical concepts of social entrepreneurs, including common dichotomies between economic and social, collective and individual, reflect in social entrepreneurs’ rationale, values and identities. Design/methodology/approach The study used an exploratory and qualitative approach. Empirical data were gathered during 14 semi-structured interviews with Croatian social entrepreneurs. Thematic analysis was used as an analytical framework. Findings The findings suggest complexity of social entrepreneurs’ rationale and identities as they face challenges in balancing different goals. Democratic and participative governance appeared to be the weakest link of social enterprises. Identity of social entrepreneurs in the society of multiple transitions is fluid and changes through the continuum from pure social to pure commercial, from more related to civil society to more related to the market, from mostly individual to mostly collective. Research limitations/implications The main limits of the study are related to sampling strategy and the small sample size. Generalization is limited by the nature of qualitative research and relies on analytical and naturalistic generalization. Practical implications The findings of the study may contribute to ecosystem development that would be more suitable for social enterprise realities in a specific context. Originality/value This paper focuses on the individual level and provides rare insights into social entrepreneurs’ rationale, values and identities.

“…The contribution of values in entrepreneurial undertaking has received proportionately modest concern from scholars. Yet, implicitly or explicitly, the research on entrepreneurship is commonly grounded on such Western values as individualism, rivalry, material acquisition, and a strict work ethic (Erpf et al, 2020). These values are not immanent in several cultures and ethnic communities, which in turns may have insubstantial relevance, in particular, developing economies.…”

“…However, previous research has not investigated these two factors in their joint relationship to entrepreneurial inclination. Since most research on entrepreneurship is based on theoretical frameworks established by applying data from Western cultures, little is revealed on the relevance of these frameworks in diverse cultural settings (Erpf et al, 2020). As such, the testing of such frameworks in another location will allow us to produce cross-cultural generalisability.…”

The objective of the article is to investigate the empirical linkages between personality, cultural values, and entrepreneurial characteristics and entrepreneurial behaviour in the context of SMEs' run by millennial generations in Indonesia. Research Design & Methods:This study used survey methods to reveal the relationship between variables through hypotheses testing on 551 respondents from among SMEs' owners who just started business (nascent entrepreneur) in Banjarmasin, Indonesia, with the use of structural equation modelling. Findings: Although the results prove that personality, cultural values, and entrepreneurial characteristics significantly affect entrepreneurial behaviour, the entrepreneurial characteristics that distinguish entrepreneur from non-entrepreneurs are rated the lowest. The impact of low self-efficacy, which does not support the implementation of entrepreneurial activities, makes it difficult to justify the millennial entrepreneur respondents are genuine to become the businessman or they are naively pursuing an unfeasible or inoperable opportunity. Implications & Recommendations: Since the extant literature is very scarce in fully addressing the new generation of entrepreneurs, our model can be used to identify unique characteristics of millennial entrepreneurs from emerging market countries. Contribution & Value Added: Up to this point, the majority of research in the field originated from Englishspeaking countries. The current study provides additional evidence on the entrepreneurial tendency of millennial Indonesians, which contributes to the growing international research on this generation.
