“…From the theoretical point of view, the present study validates the TPB model and its predictability in the context of developing countries (Anwar et al, 2021; Hossain, 2021; Hussain et al, 2021; Poolsawat, 2021; Samydevan et al, 2021). Risk-taking propensity, subjective norms and self-efficacy have emerged as contributory factors leading to the formation of EI directly or mediation through attitude and perceived feasibility (Anwar et al, 2021; Poolsawat, 2021).…”

India, the most populated country, faces the challenges of providing jobs to eligible candidates. Therefore, the promotion of entrepreneurship and the development of an ecosystem of start-ups are highly required. For any country, start-ups and new business ventures are important pillars of economic development. Therefore, college students must be encouraged and trained to become job-givers rather than job-seekers by venturing into a new business. Keeping the present scenario of India as a pivotal point, the study aims to examine the entrepreneurial intention (EI) of college students towards venturing into new businesses. The current study utilizes Ajzen’s (1991) theory of planned behaviour (TPB model), which is a widely used theoretical framework in entrepreneurship research. The study mainly investigates the role of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and risk-taking propensity in developing EIs among college students. A quantitative research design was used to achieve the stated objective of the study. An extensive literature review has been conducted to formulate the questionnaire. All variables were measured using the five-point Likert scale. Moreover, age, gender and exposure to family business were taken as control variables. Three hundred seventy-four responses were collected and analysed using structural equation modelling with Amos 22.0. The results demonstrated that all three variables concerning the TPB model, i.e., attitude, subjective norms and perceived feasibility, positively influence EIs. In addition, entrepreneurial self-efficacy affects EIs both directly and indirectly through perceived feasibility, while the effect of risk-taking propensity is fully mediated by attitude. The study produced meaningful theoretical and practical implications. Theoretically, the study contributes to entrepreneurial literature by signifying the role of self-efficacy and risk-taking propensity in forming EIs. The study also provides insights that may benefit policymakers and governments in formulating appropriate plans to boost EIs among students.

“…Usaha sosial tersebut akan menjadi bisnis inovatif dan mampu menghasilkan solusi berkelanjutan untuk menuntaskan masalah sosial (Zhang et al, 2021). Individu yang bertekad untuk mengetahui kebutuhan sosial pada masyarakat dan dapat menerapkan solusi yang berbeda untuk setiap permasalahan serta mampu menghasilkan pengembalian finansial merupakan individu yang memiliki intensi kewirausahaan sosial (Hossain, 2021). Berdasarkan uraian mengenai pengertian intensi kewirausahaan sosial, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa intensi kewirausahaan sosial merupakan keinginan seseorang untuk membangun usaha di bidang sosial yang bertujuan untuk menyampaikan solusi untuk permasalahan sosial di masyarakat.…”

“…According to Krlev (2012) [13], Bangladesh, known as the 'mother of Social Business', is significantly dependent on civil society and private sector engagements to address social issues and is therefore regarded as exemplary for social entrepreneurship in developing countries, witnessing considerable interest from scholarly research. Despite the importance of social entrepreneurship for economic growth and the fact that Bangladesh reflected a pioneering nation in social entrepreneurship [14], there is very limited related literature on social entrepreneurship intention in the context of this aspiring nation [1,14,15]. Moreover, in Bangladesh, social entrepreneurship is still growing at a slow rate compared to the country's population and social issues, such as low employment rates and unequal distribution of wealth [7,8].…”

Considering the diverse social and environmental issues globally, social entrepreneurship could be the most relevant solution to address social issues by employing a sustainable economic model, particularly for developing nations with limited government support. Hence, we examined social entrepreneurship intention among working adults in Bangladesh using an extended version of the value–belief–norm model. We used a cross-sectional design to arrange an online questionnaire and collect quantitative data from 187 respondents. SEM-PLS was used for analysis. Findings revealed a significant positive effect of openness to change, self-enhancement, and self-transcendence on problem awareness. Problem awareness was found to significantly affect outcome efficacy and social entrepreneurship intention. Finally, personal norms showed significant positive effects on social entrepreneurship intention. The mediating role of problem awareness and personal norms was further confirmed. Apart from extending the lens of VBN and enriching the current literature, insights from this study could assist policymakers, social organizations, and social entrepreneurs in formulating relevant policies and sustaining social ventures.
