Abstract
Which individual-level factors motivate women to become a social entrepreneur? To answer this question, we examined the direct impact of problem-solving skills, networking ability, and entrepreneurial knowledge with social entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, we tested the indirect effects of these three factors through self-efficacy. The study hypotheses were tested using a sample of 234 Bangladeshi women. In this research, Smart PLS 3.0 has been used to assess the study hypotheses. Our findings confirmed a positive and significant relation among problem-solving skills, networking ability, and entrepreneurial knowledge with social entrepreneurial intention. Moreover, our data confirmed that self-efficacy mediates the relationship among problem-solving skills, networking ability, and entrepreneurial knowledge with social entrepreneurial intention.
