Venturing for Others with Heart and Head: How Compassion Encourages Social Entrepreneurship
提出同情心通过整合思维、亲社会成本收益分析和减轻他人痛苦的承诺三种机制转化为社会创业，并分析了促进这一转化的制度条件，对创业和社会创业研究有贡献。
Social entrepreneurship has emerged as a complex yet promising organizational form in which market-based methods are used to address seemingly intractable social issues, but its motivations remain undertheorized. Research asserts that compassion may supplement traditional self-oriented motivations in encouraging social entrepreneurship. We draw on research on compassion and prosocial motivation to build a model of three mechanisms (integrative thinking, prosocial cost-benefit analysis, and commitment to alleviating others' suffering) that transform compassion into social entrepreneurship, and we identify the institutional conditions under which they are most likely to do so. We conclude by discussing the model's contribution to and implications for the positive organizational scholarship literature, entrepreneurship literature, and social entrepreneurship literature.
