Abstract:
Social entrepreneurship is considered as a solution in reducing
unemployment and poverty. Social entrepreneurs in this study are called as
sociopreneurs. This study aims to identify the social characters as predictors of
sociopreneurs’ motivation in Bandung, Indonesia. In addition, this study also
explores more deeply how sociopreneurs prioritize social values, and the
impact of becoming sociopreneurs. This study attempts to overcome gaps in
understanding social entrepreneurship broadly by taking the perspective of
social-oriented, using qualitative methods and a case study approach. Empirical
data is collected by conducting in-depth semi-structured interviews with
sociopreneurs in Bandung as respondents in this study. This study identifies
several social entrepreneurship values which include social values, civil society, innovation, economic activities, and social impacts (outcomes). In
addition, personal values influence the creation of social enterprises through the
values of personal experience, the desire to make changes and the willingness
to do something meaningful in one’s life.
