Abstract

Social entrepreneurship as a global phenomenon affects society by applying innovative approaches to solve social problems. Having a commitment to nature and the principles of sustainability and emphasizing on preserving the environment is considered as a part of the strategy of entrepreneurs in the social field. This research is applied-developmental in terms of purpose and qualitative research (meta-composition) in terms of implementation. In order to collect information, related articles were reviewed between 2015 and 2022. By using the meta-combination method while paying integrated attention to all aspects of social entrepreneurship, the indicators that are effective in the formation of environment-based social entrepreneurship according to researchers were identified. In this research, the results and findings of previous researchers were analyzed and by performing the seven steps of Sandelowski and Barroso (2007), the final model of social entrepreneurship was identified. In order to extract data from the texts, according to the extensive study of social entrepreneurship literature, primary coding was done and concepts and categories were extracted. After putting together and integrating the indicators obtained in the meta-synthesis stage, a total of 24 primary codes and 6 themes and 3 categories including infrastructural factors (supportive and structural), cognitive factors (skills and personality) and environmental strategy (biological orientation and environmental behavior) was identified.
