“…For the formation of entrepreneurial intentions, the influence of the perception of norms (Ajzen, 1991) is verified, that is, it is the perceived beliefs of an individual that act on their expected behaviour, which can strengthen or diminish their entrepreneurial intentions (Schlaegel & Koenig, 2014;Forster & Grichnik, 2013).…”

The significant importance of entrepreneurship for the economic development, job creation and innovation have increased the concerns of researchers and decision makers at different levels for the understanding and investigation of the factors that could have an impact on the level of entrepreneurial activity. In fact, differences in entrepreneurial activity and entrepreneurship are substantial, persistent and distinct from their background in different nations and / or regions, especially in Europe. Theoretical studies and empirical studies confirm that the entrepreneurial activities of individuals are the main drivers of the development of entrepreneurship, namely in terms of economic growth, mainly through the contribution to the creation of new jobs, the development of competitiveness and innovations at the enterprise.For this purpose, we used two Global Databases Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) of the year 2015, which were duly adapted and thus created the database for the analysis of this study, having as justification performed literature review considered the variables necessary for this purpose.Results reveal that the key determinants of the entrepreneurial intention in the European countries are: "perceived capacity" by the individual; the "entrepreneurial intention" itself which will, in fact, influence the "rate of nascent entrepreneurship"; the "governmental and political factors" in relation to the respective "financing for the entrepreneur", and the "basic education and training" in entrepreneurship which influence "research & development".

“…In Ernst (Ernst 2011) study she failed to find out any link between empathy and social entrepreneurial intention. To validate the Mair and Noboa (2006), model an attempt has been made by Forster and Grichnik (Forster and Grichnik 2013). In their paper, they adapt Mair and Noboa (2006) model and test its applicability on the sample of 159 corporate volunteers.…”

“…(2011) that university support can prove an important tool in boosting social activities among students at the university level (Kirby and Ibrahim 2011). Limitation of Forster and Grichnik (Forster and Grichnik 2013) model is that they used corporate social volunteers to predict social intention formation process. But comparing corporate volunteers with social entrepreneurship is not advisable (Hockerts 2015).…”

The present study aims at identifying the social entrepreneurial intention among undergraduate students in Indian context by using the theory of planned behaviour as the research framework. A 72 item questionnaire was responded by 390 students of premier technical universities of India. A method of sampling used was systematized random sampling. 69% (N = 269) of the respondents were male and 31% (N = 121) were female and the average age of the respondents was approximately 20 years. The questionnaire measured emotional intelligence, creativity, and moral obligation, attitude toward becoming a social entrepreneur, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control. The result shows that the proposed model in the present study explains 47% of the variance, explaining the social entrepreneurship intention. Creativity showed a strongest positive relationship followed by emotional intelligence. This research study contributes to the social entrepreneurship literature by introducing emotional intelligence and creativity as new antecedents that also explains social entrepreneurial intention formation.

Social enterprises follow the dual mission of achieving social aims as well as attaining financial sustainability and therefore elude easy categorization into either a non-profit or for-profit organization. Consequently, social enterprises might struggle with their image since external stakeholders (e.g., job applicants and customers) could hold back their support when the enterprise's dual aims seem unusual to them. Despite the importance of the image to gain stakeholder support, factors that determine how individuals perceive social enterprises are underexplored, especially in their early life stages before they have developed reputational capital and brand recognition. Following human value theory, we propose that stakeholders' self-transcendence ("other-oriented") versus self-enhancement ("self-centered") values explain how they evaluate social versus commercial enterprises. In a vignette study with 945 individuals, we reveal that social enterprises are more likely to attract self-transcendent individuals whereas individuals with stronger self-enhancement values are less likely to feel attracted to social enterprises.
