business ventures as their future careers through the lens of social vision, risk-taking motive,
and attitude.

data and examined the proposed relationships in the conceptual model, PLS-based SEM was

Findings: The results explore that Business Graduates' risk-taking motive and social vision
have a direct influence on their attitude towards starting social-based business ventures and an
indirect influence on their intention to start a social-based business as a future career.
Practical Implication: The findings contribute to the body of knowledge in social business
literature as well as can be a source of policy implications for young entrepreneurs who
intends to adopt social-based ventures as a future career.
Originality: This research has made a significant contribution to the body of knowledge in the
attitude-behavior paradigm (e.g., the theory of planned behavior) in social-based business
research.
Limitations: The sample size for this research was minimal, therefore, further study is
recommended to include a large sample from the same population to generalize the findings | en_US |
