Who Wants to be a Social Entrepreneur? Modelling Antecedents that Matter in Social Entrepreneurial Intention

Abstract

This thesis demonstrates the integration of the three pillars of institutions framework and the Mair Noboa model (MNM) in determining social entrepreneurial intention (SEI). Also, this study considers the interrelationships between the antecedents of MNM and its influence on SEI. A survey was employed to collect data in 2019 from Bangladeshi university students. The SEM-based results of this study advance the existing knowledge on SEI through the novel lens of both institutional- and individual-level antecedents.
