Abstract
Social entrepreneurship (SE) has gained considerable momentum worldwide as it aspires reconcile and integrate the twin goals of sustainable development and wealth creation, contributing to improved environmental quality and social well-being. We examine the antecedents and contextual forces of SE. Built on imprinting theory, we analyze the impact of previous work experience in nonprofit organizations (NPOs) and the institutional factors on SE decisions. Based on a comparison of 50 countries in the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor database, we find that the processes and driving forces associated with SE are embedded in a matrix of imprinting factors. Specifically, individuals with previous NPO work experience have a higher propensity to engage in SE, while business entrepreneurial experience weakens this relationship. Institutional and environmental factors such as unemployment rate and the existence of a long-term orientated national culture also strengthen this relationship.
