“…Germak and Robinson (2014) finding are also quite similar, as are those of Miller et al (2012), who suggest that social entrepreneurs perceive social ventures as desirable because of specific emotional and cognitive attitudes. Petrovskaya and Mirakyan (2018) and, more recently, Tiwari et al (2020) explain compassion as a key motivator and suggest social entrepreneurs rate higher on altruism, humility, empathy, trust in others and integrity as compared to commercial entrepreneurs. Dickel et al (2020) propose links between social entrepreneurship and direct or indirect experience of a problem or deficit in childhood as a strong influence.…”

“…Empirically, studies that have applied traditional models of entrepreneurial intent to social entrepreneurship have tended to add cognitive and affective factors such as empathy, personal values and moral obligation as antecedents, with affirmative results. Tiwari et al (2020), for example, evidence a direct relationship between individuals engaging in social entrepreneurial behaviour and high levels of empathy and moral judgement (also Ernst, 2011 and Hockerts, 2017). Bacq and Alt (2018) find further that empathy indirectly affects social entrepreneurial intention through two mediating factors of self-efficacy and social worth.…”

PurposeThe paper refers to the drivers of social entrepreneurship and critically explores the notion that it is prompted by a personal mission to enable some social or ideologically motivated altruism. It refers to Shapero's Entrepreneurial Event Theory and the adaptation of it for social entrepreneurship in Mair and Noboa (2006) and develops these so that both agency and context may be considered.Design/methodology/approachFieldwork comprised a qualitative sample of 12 life-story narratives of social entrepreneurs in Central Scotland. The location was chosen because of its reputation for support of social entrepreneurship, and the qualitative methodology allowed for a depth of inspection and analysis of complex and situational experiences.FindingsFindings include observation of altruism but there are other drivers, including the appeal of the social entrepreneurship business model. Context emerges as a critical feature of social entrepreneurship too, including spurs for altruism and the human, financial and social capitals, skills and experiences of social entrepreneurs.Originality/valueThe paper finds that the social entrepreneurship process involves both agency and context and is complex, and for some, reflects a strategic approach similar to commercial entrepreneurship. The paper also proposes further adaptation to Entrepreneurial Event Theory to capture this complexity of the social entrepreneurship process.

“…In this phase (yellow color) the relationship between personality traits and social entrepreneurial intention, i.e., the distinctive traits that distinguish the personality of social entrepreneurs, is discussed through the Big 5 model [88]. Subsequently, specific psychological factors are also studied, such as risk-taking propensity and proactivity [89][90][91], empathy and prosocial motivation [92,93], resilience and self-efficacy [94,95], moral obligation [96,97].…”

Social entrepreneurship (SE) is an emerging research field that has received much scholarly attention in recent years. Given the global scope of this attention, this review explores the existing scientific literature on social entrepreneurship to contribute to a systematization of the research field. Based on the publications in Web of Science and Scopus, a total of 1425 scientific articles were analyzed. We used the bibliometric method to describe the evolution of social entrepreneurship research (e.g., evaluation by years, authors, scientific journal articles, and countries in the SE literature that have had the greatest impact in terms of production). In addition, we used the mapping of knowledge networks through the citations and co-citations analysis to identify schools of thought. A keyword co-occurrence analysis was performed to detect key research topics over the years. The results show that, although the research is still in a nascent phase, it has a multidisciplinary character. Furthermore, social entrepreneurship appears to be a concept closely linked to three schools of thought: commercial entrepreneurship, sustainable entrepreneurship, and social innovation. The keywords analysis allowed us to isolate the constructs that the literature has considered antecedents (e.g., socio-psychological factors) and accelerators (e.g., education, network, culture, and gender) to the development of social entrepreneurial intention. We will further discuss the ways researchers can explore this research field and contribute to the global literature.

“…Empathy is suggested as being able to nurture one’s capabilities in recognising consumers’ needs, fostering social innovation, tackling workplace stress, and motivating employees [ 37 , 38 ], which are essential in starting and operating a social enterprise. Because empathy can also enhance the desire and passion to take action in contributing to society [ 39 ], empathetic individuals may be more aware of the different means for relieving social problems and may recognise the social and economic value of social entrepreneurship. Consequently, they may form favourable attitude towards social entrepreneurship or even starting a social enterprise.…”

Following the emergence of social, environmental, and public health issues, this study analysed the determinants of nascent social entrepreneurial behaviour. This research investigated the effects of empathy and prior experience with social problems on nascent social entrepreneurial behaviour through social entrepreneurial self-efficacy, outcome expectations of social entrepreneurship, and perceived social support. Through utilising the quantitative survey method, this study gathered a total of 560 valid responses, comprising 258 Chinese respondents and 302 Taiwanese respondents. Outcome expectations and perceived social support positively influenced nascent social entrepreneurial behaviour for the Chinese sample, whereas social entrepreneurial self-efficacy and perceived social support positively influenced nascent social entrepreneurial behaviour for the Taiwanese sample. This research enriches the existing literature by taking account of social entrepreneurial behaviour, instead of merely analysing social entrepreneurial intentions.
