Abstract: This article investigates the determinants of social entrepreneurial intention (SEI) based on the extended model of SEI, further extending it by incorporating the social entrepreneurial role model (RM). It proposes that their relationship is mediated by empathy, moral obligation, social entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and perceived social support. The structural model is based on 711 surveyed data indicating partial support for such an extension, with the findings suggesting no direct or mediating effect of empathy and moral obligation on SEI. It finds that prior experience and social entrepreneurial RM are related to SEI through social entrepreneurial self-efficacy and perceived social support. This study contributes to SEI theory by modelling the relationship among prior experience, social entrepreneurial RM, social entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and perceived social support.
