摘要:Social entrepreneurship (SE) is an innovative entrepreneurial approach that uses business skills to undertake entrepreneurial activities that address socio-economic problems and pursue social values. Among the important roles of SE with regards to society are its ability to reduce poverty, provide basic education, champion gender equality, reduce infant and child mortality, and protect the environment. Despite of its success, the involvement of individuals in SE activities especially in Malaysia is at unsatisfactory level. Past scholars mentioned, “if we are interested in studying new ventures, then we must understand the processes that lead up to their initiation.” With this suggestion, it is essential to know why some individuals create a social enterprise while others do not. To begin, we reveal the cognitive approach for individual to become social entrepreneur. We overview the SE development in Malaysia and summarize numerous relevant theories for intention-based studies. Interestingly, we also identify the most used predictors in SE intention realm. At the end of this article, we proposed potential practical contributions for interested parties who wish to pursue this area.
