Abstract

Entrepreneurship in Oman is generally perceived as the potential and ability of young people to create a new venture. On the one hand, individuals start businesses with an aim of gaining and getting financial benefits as it entails the recognition of potential opportunities available in the market and the generation of employment opportunities for the purpose of promoting the income and infrastructure. Social entrepreneurship (SE) is, on the other hand, carried out for the greater social good. However, studies that particularly deal with the interrelationship between social and economic factors are almost seldom and rarely found in Oman. Hence, this paper seeks to delve into the potential determinants that drive graduates’ social entrepreneurial intentions (SEI) and understand the moderating role of self-efficacy between the desire and the graduates’ intention toward social entrepreneurship of among higher educational institutions in Oman, in light of the fact that the country places special emphasis on entrepreneurship by pressing HEIs to include it as one of the required courses that students should take in their undergraduate studies.
