What motivates social entrepreneurs? A meta-analysis on predictors of the intention to found a social enterprise
这篇元分析整合了21项研究、8697个样本，发现个人、社会和经济层面的因素都会显著影响创办社会企业的意向，且国家经济阶段、样本构成和意向测量方式会调节这些影响。
Social entrepreneurship (SE) is acknowledged as a valuable tool for tackling social problems. Whereas SE intention (SEI) is considered an important prerequisite for founding a social enterprise, empirical research on SEI-antecedents lacks structure and quantitative integration. We use a newly developed framework featuring individual-, social-, and economic-level antecedents of SEI to summarize prior research on SEI in a meta-analysis (k = 21; N = 8697). Results show that our framework is empirically feasible, as significant effects of individual, social, and economic variables on SEI emerge. Furthermore, we find that the national economic stage, sample composition, and SEI-measurement act as moderators.
