Examined on a nationwide scale with members at nonprofit organizations, this study indicated followings: 1. Innovativeness, Risk Management, and Social Mission. are valid 2. Innovativeness and Social Mission are related to cooperative behavior, 3. Value congruency with each other at an institution exerts positive effect on cooperative behavior, 4. Value congruency over social enterpreneurship and cooperative behavior partially, yet still positively, mediate social enterpreneurship to cooperative behavior. In other words, the higher the social enterpreneurship in each indivisual is, the higher the degree of value congruency among individuals is, leading to more frequent cooperative behavior.

Quality Analysis of PDCA-Based Edupreneurship in 21st-Century Higher Education

“…Research findings show that the PDCA cycle has been designed for this activity, but its effectiveness has not been optimal because there is no student activity unit that specifically accommodates entrepreneurial activities because the university is still relatively new and in the Development stage. Other factors that become obstacles to edupreneur development through student activity units include: a) limited resources (limited budget, teaching staff, and facilities); b) difficulties in implementing the PDCA cycle; c) the level of member engagement; d) changes in priorities; e) difficulty identifying opportunities; f) time constraints; g) difficulty in evaluating impacts; h) difficulties in collaboration; i) change of members; and j) environmental uncertainty (Zakaria et al, 2022) ( Dzisi &;Odoom, 2017) (Chung &;Kim, 2013). Thus, the implementation of PDCA does not stand independently to succeed in achieving edupreneurship goals, but needs to be supported by other factors that encourage optimization in the field.…”
