Abstract: The current study focuses on factors affecting social entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial attitude among management students in south India. The business operation is considered to be very complex in a competitive business environment which is constantly changing with fast technological advancements. An entrepreneur is expected to interact with these environmental forces which require him to be highly competent in different dimensions like intellectual, attitudinal, behavioral, technical, and managerial aspects. Entrepreneurs are therefore permanently challenged to deploy a set of competencies to succeed in their entrepreneurial endeavors. It is imperative to note that key social entrepreneurial competence that is critical for perceived performance is the willingness to self-correct (self-evaluation), a quality that seems to distinguish a young social entrepreneur and their older and established counterparts. There is dearth of previous literature explaining the factors affecting social entrepreneurial intention. No studies empirically tested the relationship in India. This study intends to address this gap. Specifically, the research question in this study is to identify the factors contributing to social entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial attitude.

Keywords: Social entrepreneurial intention, entrepreneurial attitude, social vision, social innovation orientation, sustainable values
