Examining the Relationship Between Volunteering Motivation and Social Entrepreneurship Tendencies: Canonical Correlation Analysis

Abstract

Volunteering and social entrepreneurship are similar concepts that aim to do useful work for the benefit of people and society. While volunteering is defined as an activity for other people in the society without any financial gain, social entrepreneurship aims to create social value with entrepreneurial ideas and practices in order to meet more complex social needs.In this study, the relationship between volunteering motivations and social entrepreneurship tendencies of young people between the ages of 15-29 engaged in volunteering activities was examined by canonical correlation analysis. As a result of the analysis, a positive and statistically significant relationship was determined between volunteering motivations and social entrepreneurship tendencies.
