This study investigates whether an individual’s social work experience impacts the relationship between institutional environmental constructs and the perceived desirability and feasibility of establishing a social venture. It extends Urban, B. and L. Kujinga’s. (2017. “The Institutional Environment and Social Entrepreneurship Intentions.” International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behaviour and Research 23 (4): 638–55, doi: 10.1108/IJEBR-07-2016-0218.) social entrepreneurial intent model by comparing two groups of volunteers in Malaysia with different levels of social working or volunteering experience. The results show that the cognitive environment influences perceived desirability, with a distinctly higher path significance for perceived desirability among individuals with higher levels of experience. Perceived desirability has a relatively more substantial impact on social entrepreneurship intention for highly experienced individuals. Interestingly, the results indicate that neither the regulatory nor the normative environment influences perceived feasibility for either group. Governments and other relevant organisations can utilise these findings to devise better policies for promoting social entrepreneurship.

社会创业与志愿服务：志愿者经验水平对社会创业意向模型的调节作用

本研究调查个人的社会工作经验是否会影响制度环境结构与建立社会企业的可取性和可行性之间的关系。它延伸了 Urban、B. 和 L. Kujinga 的。（2017。“制度环境和社会创业意图。”国际创业行为与研究杂志23 (4): 638–55, doi: 10.1108/IJEBR-07-2016-0218.) 社会创业意向模型，通过比较马来西亚两组具有不同社会工作或志愿服务经验的志愿者。结果表明，认知环境会影响感知意愿，在经验水平较高的个体中，感知意愿的路径意义明显更高。对于经验丰富的个体，感知意愿对社会创业意愿的影响相对较大。有趣的是，结果表明，无论是监管环境还是规范环境，都不会影响任何一个群体的感知可行性。政府和其他相关组织可以利用这些发现来制定更好的政策来促进社会创业。
