Social entrepreneurs employ market-based methods to fill gaps in the provision of social

goods or services. In the growing field of academic research on social entrepreneurship,

surprisingly few studies investigate the factors that drive social entrepreneurs to create value

for others. This Book presents two qualitative studies and one quantitative study that

examine motives experienced by social entrepreneurs and the rewards they receive.

The first two studies are based on a qualitative, phenomenon-driven case study exploring the

motives and rewards for social entrepreneurship. In contrast to the social entrepreneurship

literature, findings from these studies suggest that social entrepreneurs experience both selfand

other-oriented motives. Further, the distinct emotions of passion and frustration precede

self-oriented motivation, while the emotions of sympathy and empathy precede otheroriented

motivation. Having a successful venture is a key reward for social entrepreneurs

and awareness that the venture is achieving social aims contributes to social entrepreneurs'

experience of personal growth and well-being. Although financial rewards are not primary

drivers of social entrepreneurship, there seems to be a threshold of financial returns, below

which it is difficult to sustain engagement in the venture.
