Thus, in this study, the authors explore an intersection of research on factors that contribute to why teachers choose to leave a teaching role in urban and rural school districts in Texas. This is an important area for empirical research because the loss of effective teachers has a significant impact on student achievement and since 1989, the national teacher attrition rate in the United States has increased 50% and remains steady at approximately 8%. Furthermore, in Texas, teachers leave the classroom at more than twice the national average. Findings of a regression analysis highlight the importance of focused support and training for teachers who work with students who are identified as At Risk and/or served by special education in both the rural and urban settings. Findings also illustrated some factors have a different impact on retention of teachers depending on whether the district is in a rural or a major urban setting for both the percentage of a district’s employees who are in a school leadership role and for the percentage of a district’s teachers in their first five years of service. Implications will be explored.","PeriodicalId":227467,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Business Strategies","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133031626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though social enterprises have demonstrated their ability to solve these complex problems, their role and size in the overall scheme of things are too small. This calls for developing a social entrepreneurial mindset (hereafter, SEM) in traditional professionals. However, the problem is the lack of a well-defined construct for SEM. Building upon Transformative Learning Theory, this paper is a maiden attempt to establish and define the SEM as a multidimensional construct. A qualitative essay-based exploratory study, employing grounded theory approach was conducted on management graduates undergoing ‘Sustainability in Practice’ (an experiential project) compulsory course. The findings and analysis identify three main constituents of SEM, viz. prosocial orientation (compassion), entrepreneurial mindset (promotion focus, optimism, self-efficacy, proactiveness, and lowrisk aversion in uncertain conditions) and systemic change orientation. The paper makes a theoretical contribution to the existing literature by proposing a comprehensive SEM framework as an overlap of prosocial orientation, entrepreneurial mindset, systemic change orientation dimensions. This framework can be of great value to both academicians for designing empirical studies to establish the causality as well as for practitioners for developing the best practices.","PeriodicalId":227467,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Business Strategies","volume":"234 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132674344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
