“…Literature indicates that women are more social oriented than men, so the SEA should be greater among them [27,35]. Even though men still prevail [33], the gap in gender in SE is smaller compared to commercial entrepreneurship [36], that is, female entrepreneurs are more equally represented in SE [67]. Besides, following our results, women are more affected by the competition effect, since the propensity towards SE for them is negative when the social enterprise sector is more developed, but positive if they perceive an underdeveloped sector.…”

How Does the Development of the Social Enterprise Sector Affect Entrepreneurial Behavior? An Empirical Analysis

Research on social entrepreneurship (SE) has increased exponentially during the past decade. Even though this social phenomenon has aroused the interest of researchers, many aspects have not yet been fully studied. In this study, the goal is to analyze how the factors that define the behavior of social entrepreneurs are affected by the perception that they have about the development of the social enterprise sector (SES development). We perform an empirical multivariable analysis using 2015 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) data related to SE, with an international sample that contains information of 17,778 entrepreneurs, of which 6470 are social entrepreneurs. The empirical analysis is carried out applying binary response models, introducing interaction terms to analyze the moderating effect of SES development. Our results show that the entrepreneurs’ perception of the SES development exerts a moderating effect over three different groups of factors: 1) factors related to self-perception about entrepreneurship (including values, perceptions, and entrepreneurial skills); 2) demographic factors (gender, age, and education level), and 3) context and entrepreneurial environment (including factors related to entrepreneurs’ perception of societal values, entrepreneurship environment, and economic development). This moderating effect has very important implications, especially for policymakers. Our results show that SES development could amplify some effects, both positively and negatively. Therefore, the design and implementation of policies to support SE must consider the moderating role of this variable on the entrepreneurial behavior, because it could affect the effectiveness of such policies.

“…Besides, demographic factors such as gender [24][25][26][27][32][33][34][35][36][37], age [24][25][26][27]32,33,38], or education [24][25][26][27]32,33,38,39] are also important drivers of SE.…”

“…The literature on social entrepreneurship has grown considerably since the 1990s. Many studies have focused on definitions and typologies [11], analyzing which factors influence the creation of this type of enterprise [12,13], and examining any differences found between social and economic entrepreneurship [14]. However, the factors that influence an entrepreneur's social orientation and their orientation dependencies are two areas that have rarely been analyzed [15,16].…”

A social entrepreneur is an individual that creates a company to generate social value. Social entrepreneurs tend to develop these initiatives because they have a strong social orientation. The reason why people have a stronger or weaker social orientation has been analyzed through the lens of different subjects, among biological, social, and behavioral sciences. However, the literature does not agree about which variables influence individuals to have more or less social orientation. We investigated which variables influence the entrepreneur’s social orientation by using a large sample of individuals (n = 176,460) in 59 countries. Our results show that an entrepreneur’s social orientation is stronger for women, more educated, and older people. The economic development of the country moderates these relationships among the social orientation, gender, and education level of the individual. We found that the individual’s social orientation increases at the same rate as the country’s development level.

“…In addition, business development and off-farm employment; increased access to information, technology and markets; develop institutions capable of fighting for poor women's access to employment opportunities needs to be fought by good. Based on this idea, there was the need to further the knowledge on the gender of the individual who creates a social enterprise, as this type of organization is more consistent with the roles and characteristics attributed to women (Nicolás & Rubio, 2016).…”
