Abstract

Recently, social entrepreneurship has attracted a great deal of attention from scholars, practitioners and policy makers since it presents one of the main solutions for solving social, economic and environmental problems. To participate in this research area, we carry out in this work an empirical investigation of the impact of both entrepreneurial competencies and motivations on the formation on the social entrepreneurial intention based on 310 questionnaires from Tunisians who are pursuing incubation programs in the context of social entrepreneurship. Using the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) method, we have shown that entrepreneurial competencies and motivations positively influence social entrepreneurial intention. This reinforces the conclusions that said entrepreneurial competencies and motivations have an effect on entrepreneurship in general. In addition, these findings may attract the attention of incubators who can act on these two determinants to stimulate social entrepreneurship.
