Epistemological foundations of social entrepreneurship from complex thinking

Abstract

The objective of the study was to establish a relationship between social entrepreneurship and the principles of complex thinking in Peru. The research was quantitative, and non-experimental, with a probability sample of 166 entrepreneurs (X = 55.4 years; 52% women). It was concluded that the structural models for the general objective and the specific objectives were acceptable (YB-X2/gl<5 for both). The values for the general objective were rp= .855 (p<.001) and effect size of r2 = .73). For the specific objectives the correlations in all cases reported statistical significance below p<.001, with large effect size (r2 ≥.25). Therefore, this research established a positive relationship between social entrepreneurship and the principles of complex thinking, contributing to the theory of SE under the lens of complex thinking.
