Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to identify the determinants of Islamic social entrepreneurial intentions (ISEI) in the context of Bangladesh. Specifically, how do empathy, moral obligation, self-efficacy and perceived social support influence Islamic social entrepreneurial intentions through the mediation of prior experience of individual? To answer this question, a theoretical framework using the theory of social entrepreneurial intentions provided (TSEI) by Mair and Noboa as its basis was established. Using measurement scales created to assess different aspects of the constructs, a survey instrument was developed to test the various relationships implied by ISEI. Data (n = 249) were collected following random sampling procedure from a business school at a private university in Bangladesh. Data were analysed using the procedure of structural equation modelling. Findings show that prior experience both directly and indirectly predicts Islamic social entrepreneurial intentions. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy has both the largest impact on intentions as well as on prior experience.

摘要

本文的目的是确定孟加拉国背景下伊斯兰社会创业意图 (ISEI) 的决定因素。具体来说，同理心、道德义务、自我效能和感知到的社会支持如何通过个人先前经验的中介影响伊斯兰社会创业意图？为了回答这个问题，建立了以 Mair 和 Noboa 提供的社会创业意向理论（TSEI）为基础的理论框架。使用创建的测量量表来评估结构的不同方面，开发了一种调查工具来测试 ISEI 隐含的各种关系。数据 ( n = 249）是按照随机抽样程序从孟加拉国一所私立大学的商学院收集的。使用结构方程建模程序分析数据。研究结果表明，先前的经验直接和间接地预测了伊斯兰社会企业家的意图。创业自我效能感对意图和先前的经验都有最大的影响。
