Abstract

Purpose Social entrepreneurship (SE) presents specificities that the entrepreneur must address. Entrepreneurial intention (EI) and entrepreneurial orientation (EO) in SE should reflect specific characteristics of behavior. The purpose of this study is to identify the intention of Brazilian university students to undertake SE, having individual social EO (individual entrepreneurial orientation (IEO)-social) as their predictive behavior. Design/methodology/approach This paper collected study data from Brazilian university students. To test the study’s hypotheses, this paper used confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation model, partial least squares and generalized linear regression model. Findings The results indicate that Brazilian university students positively respond to their intention to become social entrepreneurs in the future, regardless of gender, courses or types of universities. In line with the literature, IEO-Social proved to be a strong predictor of EI-social. Research limitations/implications This study was limited to understanding EI-social from IEO-Social. Besides, its sample is non-probabilistic, therefore, the findings of this study cannot be generalized. Practical implications The results encourage the inclusion of SE in entrepreneurial education programs. They guide the involvement of students from different areas of knowledge in activities aimed at higher education. Social implications Evidence indicates that including the SE theme in entrepreneurial education programs proves to be valuable for opening purposeful career opportunities for students. Originality/value The study contributes to eliminating the gap in studies on EI-social in Brazilian university students. It also offers the IEO-social scale, theoretically constructed and with superior psychometric quality.

社会创业:巴西大学生走向有目标的职业
目的社会创业(SE)提出了企业家必须解决的特殊性。SE中的创业意向(EI)和创业取向(EO)应反映特定的行为特征。本研究的目的是确定巴西大学生进行SE的意图,将个人社会EO(个人创业取向(IEO)-社会)作为他们的预测行为。设计/方法/方法本文收集了巴西大学生的研究数据。为了验证研究的假设,本文采用了验证性因素分析、结构方程模型、偏最小二乘法和广义线性回归模型。研究结果表明,无论性别、课程或大学类型如何,巴西大学生都对自己未来成为社会企业家的意愿做出了积极回应。与文献一致,IEO Social被证明是EI社会的有力预测因素。研究局限性/含义本研究仅限于从IEO Society中理解EI社会。此外,它的样本是非概率的,因此,本研究的结果不能推广。实际意义研究结果鼓励将SE纳入创业教育计划。它们指导来自不同知识领域的学生参与旨在接受高等教育的活动。社会含义有证据表明,将SE主题纳入创业教育计划对于为学生提供有目的的职业机会是有价值的。独创性/价值该研究有助于消除巴西大学生在EI社会研究方面的差距。它还提供了IEO社会量表,从理论上构建,并具有卓越的心理测量质量。
