Antecedents of Social Enterprise Creation at the Base of the Pyramid

Antecedents of women’s social entrepreneurship: values development and the perceived desirability and feasibility of social venture creation

“…Their team-based, social activism demonstrated a rejection of the lone, heroic social entrepreneur archetype (Cunningham et al, 2022), reflecting the collectivism they had witnessed as children. The importance of social support has been noted as a powerful antecedent to perceived feasibility in the SEI literature (Boughattas and Claey e, 2022).…”

“…Perceived desirability is most affected by experiential issues including prior exposure to/ experience of, social/environmental problems (Boughattas and Claey e, 2022;Ip et al, 2017) and capacity-building (social) entrepreneurial experiences (Lacap et al, 2018;Pansuwong et al, 2023). Perceived feasibility is most affected by the concurrent development of selfefficacy and robust networks of support (Hockerts, 2017;Keles Taysir and Asarkaya, 2021).…”

However, there remains a dearth of research and theorising focussed on women's SE (Garcia-Lomas and Gabaldon, 2023;Rosca et al, 2020) and motivations (Humbert and Roomi, 2018), alongside the role that personal values play as antecedents to SE (Paramita et al, 2022), particularly amongst women (Borquist and de Bruin, 2019).…”
