“…More recently, the humane entrepreneurship model emerged with the integration of entrepreneurial orientation (EO), sustainable orientation, and human resource orientation (HRO) in entrepreneurial strategic posture (Parente, El Tarabishy, Botti, Vesci, & Feola, 2020;Parente, ElTarabishy, Vesci, & Botti, 2018). Besides, some studies posit sustainability orientation as a dimension of ethical leadership (Eisenbeiss, 2012) and found its positive impacts on firms' financial and social performance (Wang, Feng, & Lawton, 2017).…”

This study aims to systematically identify, review, and assess the progression of sustainability orientation literature and provide an agenda for future research. We employed a systematic literature review (SLR) technique to select a sample of 93 studies from five databases: Web of Sciences, Scopus, Science Direct, Wiley Online Library, and Emerald Insight. The content analysis, aided by MaxQDA, was utilized for review and analysis purposes. The findings suggest that extant research on sustainability orientation can be categorized into six key themes: drivers of sustainability orientation, consequences/outcomes of sustainability orientation, multiple strategic orientations paradigm, elements of sustainability orientation, and crowdfunding. The current study critically evaluates the existing scholarship on the topic, reveals the limitations and knowledge gaps in the current body of literature, and suggests potential avenues for further advancement of knowledge in this area.Our study offers key implications for theory and practice.

“…The concept of humane entrepreneurship continues to be developed to overcome the various challenges in the twenty-first century. Parente et al (2020) propose a measurement scale to validate a firm's humane entrepreneurial orientation (HEO) with three components: entrepreneurial orientation (EO), sustainable orientation (SO) and human resource orientation (HRO). In addition, Parente (2021) also focuses on Entrepreneurial Strategy Posture (ESP) as a new humane entrepreneurship theory that integrates the classic concept of entrepreneurial orientation with a sustainable orientation and human resource orientation.…”

PurposeIslamic boarding schools are education institutions that have been developing in Indonesia as places for the Indonesian people to learn and gain knowledge in the perspectives of the Islamic religion and Indonesian nationalism. This study aims to explore the potential of Islamic boarding schools as places to support and to empower the economy and to increase the participation of students in entrepreneurial activities by applying the Humane Entrepreneurship approach. This study identifies the humane entrepreneurship approach by analyzing the humane cycle and the enterprise cycle in the entrepreneurship activities occurring in a single case study of an Islamic boarding school.Design/methodology/approachThis article used a qualitative method with a case study approach through deep exploration and observation. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with the key people in one of the Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia using a purposive sampling technique. Miles and Huberman (1984) technique was used for data analysis by grouping similar text segments into codes and categorizing them for further analysis.FindingsThe findings of this study indicate that the Islamic boarding school has implemented humane entrepreneurship through entrepreneurial-oriented activities as the main aspects of the humane cycle and the enterprise cycle. The implementation of humane entrepreneurship aims to achieve entrepreneurial growth, innovation and independence of the Islamic boarding school, as well as the development of the stakeholder's capabilities, knowledge and commitment. In addition, applying the spiritual approach, which is one of the important components of Islamic boarding schools, has proven to be effective in implementing humane entrepreneurship.Research limitations/implicationsThis study has several limitations. First, this study only focused on one Islamic boarding school in Indonesia. Second, there is still very little research in the field of humane entrepreneurship, so the concept itself is still considered to be relatively new. Therefore, further direction is needed for future research regarding the exploration and identification of any other factors that might influence humane entrepreneurship.Originality/valueThis study provides new insights on the implementation of humane entrepreneurship in Islamic boarding schools. This research covers the gap where the humane entrepreneurial approach can be applied not only in large organizations, but also in religious educational institutions. The spiritual approach and religious values as the principles of Islamic boarding schools have been proven to be effective in implementing humane entrepreneurship.

“…The combination of quantitative research with qualitative research aimed to obtain a synergy effect that may contribute to a better understanding of the studied phenomenon. Considering that the HumEnt theory is still under development, and the measurement scales for HumEnt have not yet been developed and validated (Parente et al , 2020), it seems that getting to know the real-life context may be a good starting point for further research in this area.…”

“…In particular, this refers to the measure of humane resource orientation (HRO). Recalling the words of Parente et al (2020, p. 524) “one way to assess HRO from a strategic posture perspective is to pay attention to humane resource practice in terms of the actions taken to strategically pursue given practices. Unfortunately, an accepted measurement scale of entrepreneur/top manager behavior fitting HRO as intended in the domain of HumEnt does not exist” it seems accurate recognition of this phenomenon in-depth, both in the context of the attitudes and behaviour of business practitioners.…”

PurposeAs a new concept for humane entrepreneurship (HumEnt) evolves, many new research questions arise. At the exploratory stage, the authors found it relevant to examine and discuss the perception of the fundamental assumptions of the HumEnt concept and activities undertaken in this area by business practice.Design/methodology/approachTo thoroughly understand the studied phenomenon, a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods was used. An exploratory survey was obtained from 126 purposefully selected enterprises in Poland; then, a single case study was analysed.FindingsThe conducted analysis showed differences between the activities of enterprises and the perception of the HumEnt concept among employees that are especially noticeable at different levels of the management hierarchy.Research limitations/implicationsThe multifaceted nature of the results obtained is limited by the inability to infer international differences, to capture trends over time and to generalise to the total population of enterprises.Practical implicationsAlthough the surveyed companies recognise the importance of the HumEnt concept, it is not tantamount to its execution. The research results may be valuable, especially for smaller enterprises, where the business practice may require support in applying the HumEnt approach.Originality/valueThe research explored both the actual state confirmed by the actions taken and the perception of the importance of individual elements of HumEnt. A knowing–doing gap has been demonstrated between these planes. Moreover, thanks to a two-stage study, practices were selected that can be successfully implemented also in small and medium-sized enterprises.
