“…The large majority of the studies on SEI of students included in this systematic literature review are based on Ajzen's (1991) TPB as modified by Mair and Noboa (2006) (Aure, 2018;Bacq & Alt, 2018;Barton et al, 2018;Hockerts, 2015Hockerts, , 2017Luc, 2018;Moorthy & Annamalah, 2014;Politis et al, 2016;Tiwari et al, 2017). Choosing a career is a decision that requires certain degree of cognitive processing and some amount of planning (Kautonen, van Gelderen, & Tornikoski, 2013;Krueger, 2005).…”

“…Their results also show that social entrepreneurial education moderated the relationship between the perceived barriers and the SEI of students. Barton et al (2018) investigated the process of content-based and process-based motivational needs influencing the SEI of students in the USA. For the process-based motives, they found that perceived feasibility and perceived desirability to start a social enterprise as well as exposure to entrepreneurship are significant predictors of the SEI of students.…”

A systematic literature review of the influence of the university’s environment and support system on the precursors of social entrepreneurial intention of students

This systematic literature review aims at understanding the influence of the university's environment and support system (ESS) in shaping the social entrepreneurial intention (SEI) of post-secondary education students. Social entrepreneurs play an important role in the economic and social developments of the communities in which they operate, thus many post-secondary institutions are starting to encourage more students to engage in social entrepreneurial behaviour. Consequently, there is a need for systematic approaches to evaluate the impact of various motivational factors related to the university's entrepreneurial ecosystem that could affect the SEI of students. Based on a systematic literature review and narrative synthesis of the antecedents of the SEI of post-secondary education students, the authors proposed a customized SEI model that modifies and extend the one proposed by Hockerts (Entrepreneurship: Theory and Practice, 2017) and Mair and Noboa (Social entrepreneurship, 2006). This study fills a gap in the literature by providing a methodology grounded in theory that can help universities to design their educational and other interventions aimed at encouraging more students to consider social entrepreneurship as a viable career choice after graduation.

“…The stronger these factors are, the greater the effect they have on intention (Ajzen, 1991). TPB has shown robustness in predicting EI (Kautonen, van Gelderen, & Fink, 2015), and numerous studies have supported it (Almobaireek & Manolova, 2012;Aloulou, 2016;Autio, Keeley, Klofsten, Parker, & Hay, 2001; Barton, Schaefer, & Canavati, 2018;Douglas & Shepherd, 2002;Farooq et al, 2018;Iakovleva, Kolvereid, & Stephan, 2011;Kirby & Ibrahim, 2011).…”

The purpose of this study is to test an integrated entrepreneurial motivation and intention model based on self-determination theory (SDT) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Particularly, it aims at testing the direct and indirect effects of the basic psychological needs satisfaction of SDT, that is, autonomy, competence, and relatedness on entrepreneurial intention through the TPB attitudinal factors, that is, attitude toward entrepreneurship, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. A sample of 622 university students from two universities in Yemen has been used, and the integrated model was tested using structural equation modeling to check its validity and the hypothesized relationships. The study findings lend support to the theoretical integration of the model, where basic psychological needs satisfaction has a positive effect on attitude toward entrepreneurship, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control, and in turn, they have positive effect on entrepreneurial intention. The findings suggest full mediation of attitude toward entrepreneurship and perceived behavioral control due to the insignificant direct path from need satisfaction on entrepreneurial intention, whereas no mediation effect was observed in the case of subjective norms.

“…Bornstein [17] identifies six personality indexes of social entrepreneurs. Barton, Schaefer and Canavati [18] mention that in the start-up period of SEs, social entrepreneurs are subject to the stimulus and influence of two factors: personal achievement drivers and unique business models to ensure market competitiveness.…”

Social media is a major channel used for communication by professional and social groups. The text posted on social media contains extremely rich information. To capture the development of social enterprises (SEs), this paper examines the tweets posted on Twitter and searches the hashtags on the Twitter Application Programming Interface (API) that SEs deem to be the most important. The results suggest that these tweets can be divided into three content groups (strategy, impact and business). This paper expands this into four dimensions (strategy, impact, business and people) and six indicators (social, opportunity, change, enterprise, network and team) and establishes a conceptual framework of SEs. This paper aims to enhance the understanding of the pertinent issues recently affecting SEs and extract findings that can act as a reference for follow-up studies.
