Abstract: This study aims at finding the role of leadership orientation and proactive personality on social entrepreneurial intention. A total of 428 Bangladeshi university students participated in this research study. Correlations analysis, hierarchical multiple regression analysis and analysis of variance were employed to find the relationship among variables and test the hypotheses. The study showed that task orientation, relationship orientation, and proactive personality have a significant positive impact on the intention of social entrepreneurship. The exploratory analysis found that prior voluntary experience also influenced students to become a social entrepreneur. The study is the first to introduce leadership orientation into social entrepreneurship literature.
