The Effect of Social Entrepreneurship Orientation Towards Sustainability Performance in Indonesia

To date, there have been limited discussions and constructs on the effect of the entrepreneurial orientation of social entrepreneurs on sustainability performance in emerging countries. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the social entrepreneurship orientations of proactiveness, risk taking, innovativeness, and socialness in relation to sustainability performance. The study was conducted with 171 Indonesian social entrepreneurs in selected urban cities to test the validity and reliability of social entrepreneurship orientation that incorporated social resources and capabilities as well as sustainability performance. The data was examined using the partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) method. The convergent validity was assessed using factor loading and average variance extracted (AVE), while reliability criteria were assessed using composite reliability (CR) and Cronbach’s alpha. The Fornell-Larcker criterion and heterotrait-monotrait criterion (HTMT) were performed to establish the discriminant validity of the instruments. The findings of the PLS-SEM evaluation of validity and reliability suggested that the scales employed in this research are statistically valid and reliable. This study contributes to our knowledge and understanding of the relationship between social entrepreneurship orientation and sustainability performance. In addition, the study makes a significant contribution to the literature on policy formulation.
