Popis: Social entrepreneurship focuses on solving problems of a collective nature through new ideas that allow the improvement of the environment. This research aims to advance in the understanding of the crucial factors that profile the social entrepreneur, which represents new opportunities to identify, strengthen and design strategies from the University aimed at the creation of enterprises with social value. This research is quantitative, non-experimental and descriptive. A survey was applied to an incidental sample of 515 university students and the data was processed based on a Principal Components Analysis (ACP), which presents the factors that have the greatest influence on the two selected components. The coefficients found indicate that the first component is related to the factors: creativity and innovation; self-confidence or internal control; adaptability and tolerance to failure; while the second component receives a greater contribution in the factors: perseverance and commitment; adaptability and tolerance to failure; and finally self-confidence and internal control.
