Resumo

The need for social entrepreneurship today is highly emphasized as a fast and efficient tool to address the complex socio-economic and humanitarian crises that today's world is plagued more than ever in history. Nevertheless, there has been few research on the underlying factors, individuals' intention to create a new social enterprise, especially in at least developing countries like Yemen. Therefore, this study aims to fulfill this gap by proposing a conceptual framework on how social entrepreneurial intention can be among university graduates. It seeks particularly to examine the combined effect of classical entrepreneurial orientation and prosocial orientation as elements of social entrepreneurial personality on social entrepreneurial intention.This framework could be useful for universities and other stakeholders to produce graduates with holistic social entrepreneurship traits that guide them to choose social entrepreneurship as a viable career path. Pursuing a career in businesses with social aim graduates will have high potential in transforming from job seekers to opportunity generators, thereby bridging the existing gab in social needs.
