Abstract

•We examine the relationship between a self-oriented motivator, status-striving, and social entrepreneurship intent.•Status-striving has a positive and significant relationship with social entrepreneurship intent.•The interaction between status-striving and empathy has a negative relationship on social entrepreneurship intent.•Results suggest that both self- and other-oriented motivators can influence social entrepreneurship intent.
