“…The results of our research indicate a positive and statistically significant relationship. This result is in line with the results of previous studies [70], indicating a statistically significant and positive relationship between the observed variables, especially in the years marked as the period of economic crisis. This can be explained by the fact of more pronounced social problems in times of crisis and the emphasis on the importance of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs as carriers of economic change and recovery.…”

“…This can be explained by the fact of more pronounced social problems in times of crisis and the emphasis on the importance of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs as carriers of economic change and recovery. When it comes to media impact, we expected a positive relationship; however, the results were contrary to expectations but consistent with some studies [22,70] that conducted their research in Spain on two different geographical areas, different cultural and historical heritage, and different development paths, within which the same results appear. One possible explanation may be the greater impact of social media on social enterprises [72,73], which was omitted by the methodology used in this case.…”

“…Based on these results, our first hypothesis (H1) is partially confirmed. Observing a similar standard of living as collectivism [10,69], regarding entrepreneurship presence in the media as an impact of media as well as businesses to solve social problems as a social image, a positive impact on social entrepreneurial activity has been confirmed in previous studies [70]. Within a collectivist society, subordination to a group and placing the interests of the group above the individual is evident.…”

With this paper, we aim to examine the relationship between cognitive, social, and demographical factors, as well as national culture and its relationship with social entrepreneurial activity in Southeast Europe (SEE). The empirical research employs a binary logistic regression model, utilizing data obtained from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. For the purpose of the empirical research, we selected a sample of early-stage entrepreneurs who founded their businesses in Hungary, Romania, Slovenia, Croatia, or North Macedonia. The research sample in these five countries includes 10,012 examinees, of which 615 are social entrepreneurs. A statistically significant relationship was identified between observed phenomena in terms of entrepreneurial networking, risk aversion, individualism, entrepreneurial social image, media impact, gender, work status, and education. The results can be explained by the specific entrepreneurial context of the SEE region. We also point out recommendations for future research.

“…Leković et al [43] observed a positive relationship between entrepreneurship solving social problems and entrepreneurial intention, resonating with SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), but a negative association with media coverage of new business success. Ferri et al [44] noted that the social image of entrepreneurship positively correlates with social entrepreneurship in times of financial crisis, supporting SDG 1 (No Poverty).…”

The study’s objective is to analyze the entrepreneurial intentions of social workers and their impact on the SDGs. Furthermore, it seeks to explore social workers’ perceptions and attitudes towards entrepreneurship. Thus, this research aims to answer the following research questions: How do entrepreneurial intentions among social workers influence their contribution to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and what are the implications of these intentions for social work practices and policies within the framework of sustainable development? Based on a quantitative approach, this study leverages microdata from the 2018 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) survey. The dataset includes responses from 4545 social workers across 30 high-income countries. The study employs logistic regression analysis as the primary statistical method to delve into the determinants of entrepreneurial intentions among social workers within this diverse international sample. Key findings indicate that the aspiration to establish a future business is a significant factor, underscoring the importance of entrepreneurial intention in this context. Additionally, social workers in the private sector exhibit a greater predisposition to entrepreneurship compared to their public sector counterparts. The study’s implications for the SDGs are substantial, as promoting entrepreneurship among social workers can contribute to economic growth, poverty reduction, and reduced inequalities (SDGs 1, 8, and 10). It also emphasizes the importance of access to entrepreneurial education, sustainable job creation (SDG 4 and 8), and the development of partnerships among academic institutions, social assistance organizations, and entrepreneurial entities (SDG 17). Furthermore, the research highlights the significance of gender equality and access to entrepreneurial resources (SDGs 5 and 9) in fostering entrepreneurship among social workers.

“…The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD, 2014), the World Bank (WB, 2017), the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO, 2014) and the World Health Organization (WHO, 2017) have recognized social entrepreneurship as fundamental for the sustainable development of populations, since it not only generates jobs, but also addresses challenges in an innovative way and encourages the construction of fair, inclusive and democratic societies with privilege to the care of the environmental. In addition, social entrepreneurship has a relationship with social structure (Seelos et al, 2011), innovation (Mulloth, Kickul & Gundry, 2016), identity capital (Lewis, 2016), creativity (Chell, Nicolopoulou & Karatas-Özkan, 2010), social capital (Mair & Martí, 2006;Westlund & Gawell, 2012), social integration (Friedman & Desivilya, 2010), geography (Smith & Stevens, 2010), sustainable development (Seelos , Ganly & Mair, 2006), politics and values (Cho, 2006;Garrigós-Simón, González-Cruz & Contreras-Pacheco, 2016), social innovation (Sabato, Vanhercke & Verschraegen, 2017), marginalization, inequality and poverty (Mongelli & Rullani, 2017), ethics (Dey & Steyaert, 2014) and culture (Ferri, Noguera & Urbano, 2015).…”

The objective of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Social Entrepreneurial Antecedents Scale (SEAS) with male and female university students in Mexico. There were 1,619 students from the University of Guadalajara and the Michoacan University of San Nicolas de Hidalgo who participated in the study. The reliability of SEAS was analyzed with Cronbach's alpha and the validity with confirmatory factor analysis using the maximum likelihood estimation method. Three factorial models of the scale were compared and items were added for its adaptation. The values produced by the factorial analysis show that the adapted Social Entrepreneurial Antecedents Scale presents adequate evidence of validity and reliability for university students in the central-western area of Mexico. It is shown that experience with Social Problems, Empathy, Moral Obligation, Self-Efficacy and Social Support favor the Intention of Social Entrepreneurship. This research provides elements for the identification of profiles of potential social entrepreneurs who can influence the development of populations with emerging economies, involving higher education institutions, government, business and society.
