What is it about?
This article examines the influence of prosocial and intrinsic motivation on social entrepreneurship intentions among female Minangkabau university students. By surveying 250 respondents, the study employs regression analysis to explore the relationship between motivations and entrepreneurial intentions. The findings reveal that prosocial motivation positively influences intentions, although intrinsic motivation does not moderate this effect.

Why is it important?
Social entrepreneurship plays a critical role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study highlights the potential of women to drive positive social change, especially within the matrilineal Minangkabau culture. By understanding motivational factors, we can design better educational policies and support systems to foster social entrepreneurship.
Perspectives
The authors, from Universitas Bung Hatta and Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, believe that deeper insights into women's motivations in social entrepreneurship can strengthen Indonesia's entrepreneurial ecosystem. They urge policymakers and educational institutions to develop programs that empower women to contribute significantly to social and economic well-being.
