The Role of Culture on Social Entrepreneurship: The Alanya Example

The study examines the impact of cultural dimensions on social entrepreneurship through research conducted on the managers of 35 associations in the Alanya district of Antalya in Türkiye. The study aims to determine how cultural dimensions affect the structure of social entrepreneurship. The data obtained were analysed regarding demographic variables, education level, age, and roles. Using the KEKK path analysis and Smart PLS program, the study reveals the relationship between cultural and social entrepreneurship dimensions. According to the results of the analysis, the majority of participants are male, and there is diversity in age groups, education levels, and roles. Power distance negatively affects perceived social support; uncertainty avoidance positively affects social moral responsibility in the long term; long-term orientation positively affects social moral responsibility; masculinity positively affects perceived social support. These hypotheses are supported hypotheses. The study concludes that the dimension of power distance from cultural dimensions negatively affects perceived social support in social entrepreneurship dimensions.
