“…Academics have increasingly highlighted the significance of the non-governmental sector in economy in particular social economy. The relation-ship between entrepreneurship and economic development has been extensively re-searched and shown to be positive [ 5 ]. Such research has pushed governments to place a greater emphasis on social entrepreneurship.…”

“…This paper is one of the few that will look at the major themes in the literature about social entrepreneurship, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and how globalization affects both. Earlier academics, such as Giddens (1984) and Wright (1982), saw social entrepreneurship as a humanitarian and idealistic endeavor [ 5 ]. Social entrepreneurship in developing economies is a new notion that is heavily reliant on the government, not necessarily for money, but rather for supporting it through legislation.…”

Social entrepreneurship (SE) is an all-encompassing concept in comparison to a typical non-government organization (NGO). It is a topic that has captured the interest of academics investigating nonprofit, charitable, and nongovernmental organizations. Despite the interest, few studies have examined the overlap and convergence of entrepreneurship and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), in congruence with the new phase of globalization. The study gathered and evaluated 73 peer-reviewed papers using a systematic literature review methodology, mainly from Web of Science but also from Scopus, JSTOR, and Science Direct, and supplemented by a search of existing databases and bibliographies. Based on the findings, 71 percent of studies suggest that organizations must reconsider the concept of social work, which has evolved rapidly, aided by globalization. The concept has changed from the NGO model to a more sustainable one, such as that proposed by SE. However, it is difficult to draw broad generalizations regarding the convergence of context-dependent complex variables such as SE, NGOs, and globalization. The results of the study will significantly contribute to a better understanding of the convergence of SE and NGOs, as well as the recognition that many aspects of NGOs, SE, and post-COVID globalization remain unexamined.
