Although the notion of social entrepreneurship is not new to us today, it has not yet gained widespread acceptance and development in Vietnam. Although there are numerous study publications on the relationship between empathy and social entrepreneurial intentions, this problem has yet to be studied much in the context of Vietnam's, particularly among youth. The goal of this study is to see if young empathy is linked to their desire to start a social enterprise. Reliability analysis using PLS-SEM software and a binary regression model will be used to examine data obtained from 339 university students in Vietnam. According to the findings, as well as the theory of planned behavior and the theory of action phases, (1) empathy does not directly affect social business intention, but rather indirectly through two mechanisms, social worth and social entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and (2) individuals who are confident in their own abilities have more social entrepreneurship intentions. We provide recommendations based on these findings to inspire young people to pursue social entrepreneurship, contribute to the development of a sustainable economy, and contribute positive values to society.
尽管社会创业的概念如今对我们来说并不陌生，但它在越南尚未得到广泛认可和发展。虽然有许多关于同理心与社会创业意图之间关系的研究出版物，但在越南的背景下，这个问题尚未得到充分研究，尤其是在年轻人当中。本研究的目的是探讨年轻人的同理心是否与他们创办社会企业的愿望有关。将使用PLS-SEM软件进行可靠性分析，并采用二元回归模型来检验从越南339名大学生那里获得的数据。根据研究结果以及计划行为理论和行动阶段理论，（1）同理心并不直接影响社会创业意图，而是通过社会价值和社会创业自我效能这两个机制间接影响，（2）对自己能力有信心的个体有更强的社会创业意图。我们基于这些发现提出建议，以激励年轻人投身社会创业，为可持续经济发展做出贡献，并为社会贡献积极价值。
