Personal Antecedents of Social Entrepreneurial Intention in Different Country Clusters and Fields

Antecedents of women’s social entrepreneurship: values development and the perceived desirability and feasibility of social venture creation

“…This was expressed in a variety of ways including: the values-informed contextualisation and extension of knowledge through education (Jennifer and Pascale), and the active pursuit of (voluntary, pro-social) activities. Voluntarism supported the development of both social entrepreneurial self-efficacy and support networks (Hockerts, 2017;Keles Taysir and Asarkaya, 2021), which have been shown to positively influence SEI (Lacap et al, 2018). These deliberative forms of human and social capital acquisition emerged from the coalescence of the three core valuesempathy felt for a specific community of need/ target, and action-taking in support of developing the necessary skills and competencies required to effect social justice outcomes.…”

“…However, contextualised factors influencing SEI and action-taking have rarely been empirically explored (Stirzaker et al, 2021). Evidence exists of positive relationships between religious beliefs (Borquist and de Bruin, 2019;Kim et al, 2020), lived experiences (Hockerts, 2017), family background (Shumate et al, 2014;Keles Taysir and Asarkaya, 2021) and political ideologies (Dey and Lehner, 2017;Jarrodi et al, 2019) and both SEI and SE.…”

“…Perceived desirability is most affected by experiential issues including prior exposure to/ experience of, social/environmental problems (Boughattas and Claey e, 2022;Ip et al, 2017) and capacity-building (social) entrepreneurial experiences (Lacap et al, 2018;Pansuwong et al, 2023). Perceived feasibility is most affected by the concurrent development of selfefficacy and robust networks of support (Hockerts, 2017;Keles Taysir and Asarkaya, 2021).…”

“…Lived experience as an antecedent of SEI Complex and situational (Stirzaker et al, 2021) experiential factors are acknowledged to contribute to the emergence of SEI (Keles Taysir and Asarkaya, 2021). Life story analysis (Cunningham et al, 2022) approaches seek to centre the reflective, retrospective sense-making efforts of social entrepreneurs in theory development (Yitshaki et al, 2022).…”

“…As the social entrepreneurship (SE) sector has grown over the past twenty-five years (Teasdale et al, 2023), so too has interest in identifying and better supporting people with social entrepreneurial potential (Ip et al, 2021;Usman et al, 2022) to create and amplify sustainable solutions to intractable social/environmental problems (Cieslik, 2018). Social entrepreneurial intentions (SEIs) and their antecedents (Bergner et al, 2022;Keles Taysir and Asarkaya, 2021) have therefore attracted significant research interest, as have social entrepreneurial motivations (Jarrodi et al, 2019;Yitshaki and Kropp, 2016) and associated action-taking antecedents (Boughattas and Claey e, 2022;Kim et al, 2020). However, there remains a dearth of research and theorising focussed on women's SE (Garcia-Lomas and Gabaldon, 2023;Rosca et al, 2020) and motivations (Humbert and Roomi, 2018), alongside the role that personal values play as antecedents to SE (Paramita et al, 2022), particularly amongst women (Borquist and de Bruin, 2019).…”
