Abstract:
Entrepreneurial leadership (EL) is an important issue as it impacts venture
performance. Research on EL in social entrepreneurship is scant. Based on a survey of 70
social entrepreneurs in Thailand, this study investigates how EL affects and mediates effects
on venture performance. The results show that leadership skills (LS), entrepreneurial
characteristics (EC), and EL are all positively related with venture performance. Surprisingly,
EL does not mediate the effects of LS or EC. Explanations for these surprising findings are
provided. Consequently, the study advances understanding of EL and how EL impacts
performance of social ventures.
