Abstrakt: Social entrepreneurship (SE) is an emerging field at the cross roads of government, non-profit and entrepreneurship. Few studies have focussed specifically on millennials and hardly any, which provide a comparative study across countries. The present study provides insights not only into the four factors (deferred gratification, political skills, reputation and attitude towards government) affecting millenials with data from four different countries- China, Philippines, Russia and U.S.A but also the mechanism by which social entrepreneurial self efficacy (SES), culture and life satisfaction affect this relationship. Results provided strong support for negative attitude towards government as a robust predictor of SE across all four countries. Although we found support for the meditational framework of SES, our results did not support the moderating role of culture and life satisfaction. The results, implications and ideas for future research are discussed in detail both from an academic and a practitioner's perspective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
