Abstract

The purpose of this study is to predict social entrepreneurial intention in higher education students using the model proposed by Mair and Noboa (2006) and the incorporation of the prior experience construct proposed by Hockerts (2017). An electronic questionnaire was administered to 4,147 students at a Mexican public university. A total of 1,042 completed questionnaires were received. An exploratory factor analysis was performed on these data, followed by a confirmatory factor analysis and a structural analysis. The results are consistent with those of Mair and Noboa (2006) and Hockerts (2017), who found that the constructs with a statistically significant effect on social entrepreneurial intention are self-efficacy and social support. Prior experience has a significant influence on social entrepreneurial intention, mediated by self-efficacy, social support, empathy, and moral obligation. It should be added that the originality of this work lies in the fact that it is one of the few studies that replicates Mair and Noboa's model, as well as Hockerts' proposal, with Latin American higher education students. Furthermore, the results show that it is a reliable tool for predicting social entrepreneurial intentions in Mexican students.
