Abstract

Entrepreneurship is an evolving and fascinating subject in the field of business management, yet there is a lack of research on social entrepreneurship. A lack of knowledge about social entrepreneurship makes it impossible to address the issues that young people in developing nations confront, such as unemployment, poverty, environmental issues and societal issues for which the government is unable to offer a solution. Social entrepreneurship will improve national economic growth by overcoming several economic challenges. This study used a qualitative research design in which eleven semi-structured interviews were conducted to get rich data from MBA students. The thematic analysis was conducted to obtain the findings related to the social entrepreneurial intention of the students. The study’s findings showed that students are enthusiastic about choosing social entrepreneurship as a career. It is observed that optimism and self-efficacy were equally important in building social entrepreneurial purpose, but the fear of failure frequently caused students to be less resilient. Despite possessing social capital, financial capital, and entrepreneurial education, psychological capital must still be prioritized.
巴基斯坦学生将社会创业作为职业选择的决定因素
企业家精神是企业管理领域一个不断发展和引人入胜的课题,但对社会企业家精神的研究却很少。缺乏对社会企业家精神的了解使得发展中国家的年轻人无法解决他们面临的问题,比如失业、贫困、环境问题和政府无法提供解决方案的社会问题。社会企业家精神将通过克服若干经济挑战来促进国民经济增长。本研究采用质性研究设计,对MBA学生进行了11次半结构化访谈,获取了丰富的数据。通过主题分析,得出与大学生社会创业意向相关的研究结果。研究结果显示,学生们热衷于选择社会创业作为职业。可以观察到,乐观和自我效能在建立社会创业目标方面同样重要,但对失败的恐惧往往导致学生缺乏弹性。尽管拥有社会资本、金融资本和创业教育,心理资本仍然是必须优先考虑的。
