500			_aABSTRACT ABSTRACT The idea of social entrepreneurship has recently captured the attention of numerous experts and policymakers globally. Among researchers, entrepreneurship stands out as a crucial area of investigation, evident in the increasing number of studies emphasizing the importance of global corporate education. Virtually all nations promote entrepreneurship as a means to stimulate economic development, create wealth, and generate employment. The research identifies a problem in Brunei Darussalam, pointing out a lack of knowledge about social entrepreneurship in the country, which could be seen as an opportunity for public benefit. Consequently, the study aims to uncover and evaluate social entrepreneurial intentions while exploring the moderating impact of entrepreneurial education on these intentions. The study employs the Structured Equation Modeling (SEM) method, specifically Partial Least Square (PLS), to analyze the gathered information. Given the growing complexity of the research objective, the study opts for theoretical extensions of existing theories through exploratory research for theory development. This approach also allows flexibility in handling more intricate models, particularly testing the moderating relations. The methodology choice is justified due to the study's relatively small sample size (202 valid responses), for which Smart PLS 3 is utilize for analysis. The study's PLS-SEM analysis indicates that perceived behavioral control, attitude toward behavior, and subjective norms significantly predict social entrepreneurship intentions. However, the study observes no clear association between the goals of social enterprises and opinions regarding their desirability (empathy, moral obligation) or practicability (self-efficacy, social support). Acknowledging limitations, the study's sample frame includes only students, the unemployed, and self-employed individuals in Brunei Darussalam, constrained by time and resource limitations. Despite a comparable sample size to other studies, caution is advised in generalizing the findings to the entire country's population. In conclusion, the study advocates for more research on social entrepreneurship in Brunei Darussalam, emphasizing its relative obscurity in the local population. The investigation sheds light on various public perceptions of social entrepreneurship, encouraging additional research to enhance conceptual understanding and gain deeper insights.
