My research explores the ethical and moral dimensions that drive social entrepreneurial activities and intentions. By systematically reviewing existing literature and conducting empirical studies, I analyze how moral values, ethical frameworks, and decision-making processes influence social entrepreneurship. Integrating Moral Foundations Theory (MFT), my study aims to bridge the gap between ethical theory and social enterprise practice. The findings contribute to understanding the ethical motivations behind social entrepreneurship and inform policies and support mechanisms for social enterprises.
