| Abstract | Guided by ethics, moral values, and social vision, social entrepreneurs start their enterprises and become agents of change and contribute to social development. It is along this path that students, particularly those considering social entrepreneurship, are groomed to become entrepreneurs with greater purpose. Unfortunately, many social enterprises are confronted with resource issues with low impacts that hinder them from addressing broad socio-economic problems. Many theories have been used to study social entrepreneurship, including the resource-based view (RBV); however, few have explored the Radical RBV approach. With this, the study aims to investigate specific capabilities that determine social impact through the Radical RBV lens. Student social startups were investigated using multiple moderated regression analyses using a stratified sampling technique. Key findings revealed that the social impact of these startups is predicted mainly by stakeholder engagement, earned income generation, and institutional support explaining 63.7% of the variance. Moreover, a high degree of entrepreneur-centered stewardship culture moderated the relationship between stakeholder engagement and institutional support in predicting social impact implying the need to develop an entrepreneurial culture within university backyards. Given that student startupsâ institutional support was weakly evident, it is recommended to establish university TBIs, Fablabs, and other technical laboratories to provide student startups with better access to product development facilities. |
