Abstract

Social entrepreneurship has become fairly popular as an innovative approach to addressing complex social needs although it is often a misunderstood concept. Social entrepreneurship is frequently assumed simply as to be starting and managing a social enterprise, at best considering at least the risks involved in these activities. Indeed, social entrepreneurs can be viewed as a subgroup of genus entrepreneurs. However, the combination of managerial competencies needed for successful social business implementation can significantly differ from the standard model of a prosperous private business. Social entrepreneurship may also require specific personality characteristics in order to thrive. The current article aims to examine the impact of factors on young people aged 15 to 29 in relation to their motivation to develop social entrepreneurship. 477 young people in Slovakia filled in a questionnaire and multinomial logistic regression was used to evaluate the data. The results of the analysis show that the positive relationship of young people to social entrepreneurship is mainly influenced by the level of awareness, the use of social enterprise products and services, their scope, presence of entrepreneurs and people with special needs in the family as well as their status and the region in which they live.
