| dc.description | Social entrepreneurship (SE) is a recent phenomenon spreading around the world. It has become one of the finest solutions for addressing various socio-economic issues. Unfortunately, the involvement of Malaysian in SE activity is currently 2 per cent which is far behind of comparable emerging economic such as Thailand, Indonesia and Argentina. Having realized that SE is desirable, yet, the participation is very low; one pressing question is emerged: how can the level of SE involvement in Malaysia be increased? The dominant view suggests that the quantity and quality of entrepreneurship can be boosted via empowerment among potential social entrepreneurs. Therefore, it is timely to investigate the factors of social entrepreneurship intention (SEI) among undergraduates in Malaysia. Drawing on theory of planned behavior (TPB) as the theoretical background; this study treats trait emotional intelligence (TEI) and perceived social support (PSS) as the exogenous variables, whilst, attitudinal constructs of TPB as the mediators; to explain the propensity of SEI. This study is quantitative in nature and employs cross-sectional approach. Respondents are selected among 419 Enactus students from public and private universities using two-stage sampling technique. The data was then analyzed using IBM Analysis of Moments Structures (AMOS) software version 26.0. The structural equation modelling was executed to test the studied variables. The findings exhibit that PSS, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control directly and positively affect the intention to become social entrepreneurs. Surprisingly, TEI has no direct relationship with SEI; rather indirectly via the mediator constructs. This study contributes to shed light on the literature by formulating a comprehensive model of SEI; whilst offering several important practical implications for Malaysia HLIs, Enactus Malaysia Foundation and students. Limitations and future directions are also discussed in the study.,Ph.D | |
