The entrepreneurial process in the social sector: interactions between opportunities, resources, and actions

Social entrepreneurship remains one of the main drivers of economic and social activity, particularly in developing countries. This study aims to better understand the entrepreneurial process in the social sector by analyzing the impact of opportunities, resources, and actions on the performance of entrepreneurial projects. Using a mixed method of primarily quantitative data collection, we developed a structured questionnaire with closed-ended questions. It was administered online to a sample of 50 Moroccan social entrepreneurs from different sectors: health, education, and social inclusion. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, and linear regressions. The results show a significant correlation between a positive perception of opportunities and the effective mobilization of human, financial, and social resources influencing entrepreneurial actions and project performance. This research will further expand the literature on the social entrepreneurial process and motivate entrepreneurs and their supporters to take it into account.
