Objective: This study aimed to develop a social entrepreneurship model based on a social capital approach within the Khorasan Razavi Welfare Organization.
Methods: A mixed-methods design was employed. Data were collected from three groups—elites and faculty members, managers and assistants, and employees—through semi-structured interviews to capture diverse perspectives and deepen insights. Qualitative data were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin’s (1998) three-stage coding process (open, axial, and selective coding). In the quantitative phase, a researcher-designed questionnaire was administered, and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to validate the variables and related items.
Results: Findings revealed that causal, contextual, intervening, and strategic factors significantly influence social entrepreneurship when viewed through the lens of social capital.
Conclusions: The proposed model offers practical implications for developing strategies that strengthen social entrepreneurship in welfare organizations and similar institutions by leveraging social capital.
