Khaliq Ur Rehman , Mostak Ahamed Galib
Abstract
Drawing on the “Triple Failure” theory, current research explores the nexus of so-cial value creation and social entrepreneurship. Triple failure theory explains that due to the non-availability of a permanent source of income, governments, non-profit organizations, and commercial markets of under-develop countries are prone to resolve social problems. Social entrepreneurs need to arise and resolve social issues through social value creation in such circumstances. Current research also studied the role of pro-social behavior and resilience of the entrepreneurs for social value. Current research engages the social entrepreneurs and en-terprises to understand the phenomenon mentioned above and its mechanism. Seven hundred sixty entrepreneurs take an active part in this research from Pakistan. This research points out that social entrepreneurial intention develops the social behavior among the entrepreneurs and encourages them to work for social value creation. Entrepreneurial curiosity also plays a vital role in turning the intensions into social projects. Social entrepreneurs sometimes face difficulties due to family pressures and financial constraints, but their resilience keeps them motivated towards their objective of social value creation.
