This study seeks to identify and measure the association linking sustainable entrepreneurship and social innovation, through corporate social performance as a mediating variable. To assess the research model, five determinants of sustainable entrepreneurship are identified which can generate social innovation. The hypothesis test is based on a quantitative approach in which data was gathered through a questionnaire distributed to 180 SMEs in Saudi Arabia. The study applies a structural equation model in order to verify the relative importance of corporate social performance, alongside its mediating effect. The results demonstrate a mediating effect from corporate social performance between sustainable entrepreneurship extrinsic motivation and sustainable entrepreneurship outcome as determinants, and social innovation. This mediating effect seems to be less important for other determinants such as knowledge resource acquirement. The results define a critical pathway for social innovation in order to facilitate its definition and try to operationalize the process of its generation. In fact, this study provides an operationalized approach for social variables.

可持续企业家精神和企业社会绩效在社会创新中的作用:以沙特阿拉伯的私营工业部门为例

本研究旨在通过公司社会绩效作为中介变量,来确定和衡量将可持续企业家精神与社会创新联系起来的关联。为了评估研究模型,确定了可持续创业能力的五个决定因素,它们可以产生社会创新。假设检验基于一种定量方法,该方法通过分发给沙特阿拉伯180家中小型企业的调查表收集数据。该研究应用了结构方程模型,以验证企业社会绩效及其中介效应的相对重要性。结果表明,企业社会绩效在决定可持续性企业家外部动机和可持续企业家成果与社会创新之间起着中介作用。对于其他决定因素,例如知识资源的获取,这种中介作用似乎并不那么重要。结果为社会创新定义了一条关键途径,以促进其定义并尝试使其生成过程可操作。实际上,这项研究为社会变量提供了一种可操作的方法。
