“…Sustainable entrepreneurship is becoming popular, different from the traditional profit-based entrepreneurship ( Muñoz et al, 2018 ; Terán-Yépez et al, 2020 ; Kummitha and Kummitha, 2021 ). This is because it builds a business that balances the triple bottom line’s economic, social, and environmental aspects ( Belz and Binder, 2017 ).…”

Entrepreneurship is an essential aspect of economic growth because of its contribution to people’s welfare through employment opportunities. Universities offer compulsory entrepreneurship subjects for students with the support of government policies. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the factors that influence the students’ intentions to become green entrepreneurs using contextual aspects as moderators. The applied theoretical model was the planned behavior (TPB) that adds cultural values and cognitive knowledge. The sample included 305 students from 10 private universities in Jakarta. The results showed that green entrepreneurial intentions are affected by perceived behavioral control (PBC), cultural values, cognition knowledge, and contextual factors. However, they lack a significant effect on attitudes toward behavior and subjective norms. Second, the contextual factors can moderate the relationship between variables and significantly affect green entrepreneurial intentions. Third, they moderate attitudes toward behavior and cognitive knowledge with green entrepreneurial intentions. Contrastingly, other factors had no effect when contextual factors moderated the relationship.

“…Other than economic benefits, tourism social enterprises support social and cultural benefits. For example, TSEs develop social harmony [45], provide skills [46], and support communities in starting their own ventures [47]. Some studies define the primary goal of tourism-based social enterprises as being the protection of both natural and cultural resources [48] and the development of cultural activities [49].…”

The literature emphasizes that tourism social entrepreneurs play an important role in the adoption of sustainable strategies to achieve social, environmental, and community development. Yet, there is limited research that aims to understand the relationship between local communities and tourism social entrepreneurship empirically. Building around social exchange theory and Weber’s theory of substantive and formal rationality, this study addresses the following research question: how do local communities perceive the role of tourism social entrepreneurship (TSE) in the development of ecotourism destinations? A total of 362 community employees of two ecotourism organizations in India participated in the survey. Analytically, this study validated the measurement model and tested hypotheses using structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings reveal that the economic benefits and environmental sustainability are the main influencing factors that are appreciated by the communities. However, we found variance in the community perceptions with regard to several factors being studied in the two TSEs we studied. This study recommends that in order to contribute to the development of ecotourism and local communities there is an urge to build strong ties among different stakeholders at the local level.

“…Recently, there has been a growing interest in analyzing the causes and factors that influence sustainable entrepreneurship. Studies have been made in relation to crowdsourcing [22], rural businesses [23], training, and motivation [24], digital technologies [25], and sustainable entrepreneurship at the bottom of the pyramid [26]. The Netherlands, United States, Germany, UK, and Spain have been the most influential countries in terms of publications on this topic, as shown by [27].…”

After the UN’s adoption of 17 Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, it became clear that the relationship between sustainability and entrepreneurship was an area for re-examination. Traditional measures of entrepreneurial success rested largely on economic indicators; observatories like the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) extended them, including cultural and social indicators. There is now a real need to measure and analyze the relationship between sustainable entrepreneurship and eco-innovation and drive positive economic activity outcomes, sustainable development, and social welfare. For GEM’s consideration, this paper proposes a reimagined tool by which to measure sustainable entrepreneurship and eco-innovation in businesses and assess their level of alignment with UN SDGs. Specifically, it presents a new measurement method, incorporating, but simplifying, a complex range of variables, which can be crystallized into a set of items (questions) to determine businesses’ commitment to entrepreneurship sustainability—social, economic, and environmental. The results can be cross-referenced with other relevant variables, and indicators proposed by the UN, to determine what causal or explanatory relationships might or might not exist. The proposal represents a valuable extension to existing data gathering tools, and will be of use to researchers and practitioners in the field of entrepreneurship—especially as its sustainability credentials and environmental impact are in the spotlight.
