    Social entrepreneurs as role models for innovative professional career developments
    (MDPI, 2021) Merladet, Jorge; Núñez Canal, Margarita; Álvarez de Mon, Ignacio; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    Through qualitative analysis,this paper examines the role of social entrepreneurs as an example of innovative and alternative professional career development. We review the dominant literature about social entrepreneurs’ distinct intentions,attitudes,abilities,and behaviors. We also directly connect social entrepreneurs’ biographies and discourses with the actual nature of their social enterprises. We have found some fundamental common factors as critical determinants of the final social entrepreneurial decision and result: (i) motivations such as emotional connec-tion,moral judgment,personal dissatisfaction,purpose achievement and change,and social needs; (ii) personal internal resources such as connection skills,conviction,creativity,efficiency skills,and learning orientation; (iii) facilitating external factors such as financial and social support,higher and social education,relevant past events,and previous professional experience. Putting together all these factors,we develop a theoretical framework that can explain social entrepreneurship as an alternative career option and connect it with a dominant social entrepreneur’s narrative and profile. © 2021 by the authors.
