Abstract

This paper built on the author’s previous research on social entrepreneurial intention by using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), which has the advantage of examining complex models holistically that multiple regression analysis cannot perform. Loosely anchored on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and traditional entrepreneurial intention models, this research uncovered that the relationship of intentions with agreeableness and grit are mediated by perceived social entrepreneurial self-efficacy and perceived social support. As such, it is recommended for educators and policy-makers to develop initiatives that cultivate pro-social beliefs and values, as well as provide opportunities for applied group learning. For future research, social entrepreneurial intentions can be modeled through other lenses, such as the social cognitive theory (SCT) and a closer resemblance to the original TPB. Moreover, the current model can be extended by examining other background factors and variables beyond those advocated by TPB and SCT.
