THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MINDFULNESS AND SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION WITH PERCEIVED BEHAVIORAL CONTROL AS MEDIATOR

Abstract

Nowadays,  governments  face  a  conflict  between  economic  development  and addressing  social  needs, especially in developing countries. Social enterprises have been shown to help them solve this problem. However,  universities,  which  have  educated  social  entrepreneurs,  are  focusing  their  attention  on corporate  social  responsibility,  while  the  research  on  social  entrepreneurship  has  yet  to  receive adequate attention. The purpose of this study is to find out the relationship between mindfulness and social entrepreneurialintention and the intermediary role of perceived controllability and self-efficacy for  giving  ideas  to  universities  to  make  appropriate  policies  for  the  development  of  new  social entrepreneur  generations.  This  study  used structural equation modelling  (SEM)  to  test  the  research hypotheses. There were 294 students at all levels (bachelor, master or,PhD) of universities in southern Vietnam who participated in this study. The data was collected between August 2019 and October 2019 by  using  questionnaires.  The  results  have  shown  that  there  is  a  positive  relationship  between mindfulness and social entrepreneurialintention(SEI). Besides, students’ perceived controllability and self-efficacy can enhance this relationship, especially self-efficacy.
