Abstract

Although social entrepreneurship has been well-researched, little empirical evidence reports on social entrepreneurship literacy. To fill this gap, the present case study aims to explore students’ and teachers’ perceptions of social entrepreneurship literacy in a vocational boarding school. Data were collected through a questionnaire and focus group interviews and analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis with reference to Peredo and McLean’s dimensions: goals, opportunities, innovation, risks, and human resources. The findings show that both students and teachers reported that the five dimensions of social entrepreneurship literacy can strengthen social awareness and values among students and teachers. The contribution of this research is to provide empirical evidence on the role of students’ and teachers' beliefs and attitudes towards social entrepreneurship literacy in relation to their entrepreneurial intentions and practices. © The Author(s) 2024
