“…Social entrepreneurs have been incessantly contributing to bringing a substantial social change through focusing and actively working on social problems in the society of developing countries (Zeyen et al, 2012). Tiwari et al (2018b) argued that, although SE is beneficial for the welfare and development of the economies, still, the present rate of social entrepreneurial growth is rather slow. This context elevates an essential query for the policymakers and scholars to understand how can the development rate of SE be enhanced and reinforced?…”

The concept of social entrepreneurship (SE) is gaining attention in developing economies for the purpose of greater societal welfare maximization. Still, findings in the field of SE studies have been riddled with conflicting results and counterstatement. Also, the determinants of developing SE are not robustly investigated in developing economies like Bangladesh. This context has mobilized the authors of this current study to focus on determining student's intention to pursue SE as their career choice. Hence, the study aims to examine the predictive determinants of social entrepreneurial intentions (SEI) among Bangladeshi students. The study has investigated the influence of entrepreneurial self-efficacy, social support, prior experience, and educational support on SEI. The survey was conducted from a public university of Bangladesh, and 231 students participated in the study. Questionnaire items under each construct variable have been adopted from pre-tested research studies. Five-point Likert scale questionnaire was applied to measure the variables. SPSS version 23.0 has been used for statistical analysis through which correlation and multiple regression analysis were conducted to measure the impact of the independent variables on SEI. Results exhibited that self-efficacy, social support, and educational support positively and significantly predicted SEI, while prior experience does not influence SEI.

“…Only small differences between the two models which is based on the type of measurement used in the operationalisation process. Tiwari et al (2018;2017a;2017b) explained emotional intelligence as an explanatory variable, whereas Siti Daleela, Abu Hanifah & Wan Mohd Hirwani (2018) specifically address trait emotional intelligence as the critical component to be explored. Trait emotional intelligence emphasizes on selfperceived emotion-related abilities and is measured through self-assessment, whilst AEI emphasizes on actual emotion-related abilities and is measured through maximum-performance tests.…”

“…Offering a comprehensive framework of social entrepreneurship intentions would benefit many parties especially in designing and developing the policy of SE education. Although past scholars addressed those direct relationships, the findings were inconclusive (Aure, 2018;Tiwari et al, 2018;Yu & Wang, 2019). According to Creswell (2014) and Dissayanake (2013), if research findings are inconclusive, inconsistent or contradict the literature, it automatically warrants further studies.…”

“…Past literatures have listed numerous factors that influence intentions, such as in moral judgment, empathy, creativity, and Journal of Sustainability Science and Management Volume 16 Number 6, August 2021: 292-314 self-efficacy. Nevertheless, the dominant views tend to ignore the importance of emotional intelligence (EI) which affects an individual's intention (Tiwari, Bhat & Tikotia, 2018;Tiwari, Bhat & Tikotia, 2017a, Tiwari, Bhat & Tikotia, 2017b. In fact, emotional factors are the major cause for business failure (Walsh & Cunningham, 2016;Shepherd, Patzelt & Wolfe, 2011, Shepherd, Wiklund & Haynie, 2009.…”

This current study introduces aims to advance three studies done by Tiwari et al (2018Tiwari et al ( , 2017aTiwari et al ( , 2017b) from both the theoretical and methodological aspects. Firstly, this study examined the role of trait emotional intelligence (TEI) on social entrepreneurship intentions context, whilst this research embedded it into the theory of planned behaviour's model.…”

Social entrepreneurship (SE) is a recent phenomenon spreading around the world. It has become one of the finest solutions for addressing various socio-economic issues. Unfortunately, the involvement of Malaysian in SE activity is currently 2 % which is far behind of comparable emerging economic. Therefore, it is timely to investigate the factors influencing a student's social entrepreneurship intentions (social entrepreneurship intentions) as recommended by previous scholars to enhance the SE level in Malaysia. Drawing on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) as the theoretical background; this study treats trait emotional intelligence (TEI) as the exogenous variable, while attitudinal constructs of TPB as the mediators to explain the propensity of social entrepreneurship intentions. 419 Enactus students from public and private universities were selected by using stratified sampling technique. The data was then analyzed using IBM Analysis of Moments Structures (AMOS) software version 26.0. The findings exhibit that three factors directly and positively affect the intention to become social entrepreneurs. Surprisingly, trait emotional intelligence has no direct relationship with social entrepreneurship intentions, rather indirectly via the mediator constructs. This study hopes to shed light on the literature by formulating a comprehensive model of social entrepreneurship intentions. Limitations and future directions are also discussed in the study.

PurposeThe study aims to shed light on the role of university support (US), environmental concern (EC) and Sustainable Development Goal knowledge (SDGK) in forming students' intention (SI) to engage in sustainability-driven entrepreneurship. The authors attempted to blend the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and social cognitive career theory (SCCT) as a potentially useful theoretical base for sustainability-driven entrepreneurial intention (SDEI) development.Design/methodology/approachThe responses were collected from university students in India using a self-administered questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and partial least squares structured equation modelling (PLS-SEM) are used to examine the data.FindingsThe university support strongly influences students' attitudes towards sustainable entrepreneurship (ATT) and outcome expectations (OEs). Also, the degree of understanding about SDGs among students was alarmingly low, which has crucial negative consequences for future SDG achievement.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study may assist academicians and environmental strategists in deciding the crucial factors influencing SI to start a sustainable business. The study highlights the importance of universities in promoting entrepreneurial sustainability decisions.Originality/valueThis research will add value to the prevailing literature in the area of sustainable entrepreneurship as it explores the effects of environmental concern, SDGK and the role of US on sustainable entrepreneurial intention (EI) among Indian engineering students.
