Design/Methodology: Questionnaires consisting of closed-ended questions were distributed to achieve these goals. The reliability, validity, and correlation analyses were used to assess the factors that make up the suggested model.

Findings: As a result, it was found that the connection between social change (SC) and social enterprise (SE)  can be explained by R square values of 0.910 and 0.749 to the extent of 91.0 and 74.9%  and that the beta coefficient values of all the factors, which are 0.559 and 0.865, fairly represent the effects of the factors on social entrepreneurship (SE) and social change (SC).

With a clear agenda for social change, the increase in social entrepreneurship offers a more morally-conscious form of entrepreneurship by emphasizing the creative use of resources to discover and seize opportunities that sustainably address societal needs.
