Investigating the Relationship between Social Entrepreneurial Orientation and Entrepreneurial Performance in Non-Profit Organizations Nasim Yadegar PhD Student of Entrepreneurship Development, Faculty of Entrepreneurship, University of Tehran Received: 2020/02/07 Accepted: 2020/05/22 Abstract Entrepreneurial behavior in non-profit organizations (the third sector)1, characterized by prioritizing social goals and prohibiting profit distribution as a distinguishing feature from economic organizations, has attracted the attention of actors and researchers, and the concept of organizational social entrepreneurship has been developed to address it.
The findings showed that social entrepreneurial orientation, defined in this research as having innovative behaviors, risk management, and pioneering conditional on creating social value, has a significant relationship with entrepreneurial performance.
By accepting this research result, we arrive at the important point that the dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation in the field of non-profits must be bound by the creation of social value; otherwise, any innovative, pioneering, or risk management behavior that a non-profit organization undertakes should be considered social entrepreneurship, which is not actually the case.
Hypothesis 2- Increasing the participatory management structure increases the intensity of the relationship between social entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial performance in non-profit organizations.
(2007), showed that a participatory management structure plays a moderating role in the relationship between social entrepreneurial orientation and the performance of non-profits.
Also, as Ridley and Bull (2011) also emphasized, the existence of organizational patterns plays a moderating role in the relationship between social entrepreneurial orientation and the performance of non-profits.
