Our findings show the existence of compassionate contextual and compassionate personal reasons for why some individuals indulge in social entrepreneurial activities, it also shows other factors to why they continue in the entrepreneurial process and finally suggest that passion is important when starting and continuing with social entrepreneurship. In addition, our findings provide new insights and contribute to the field of social entrepreneurship by shedding light on drivers for social entrepreneurial engagements and activities.
