Community-based human service organizations (“HSOs”) employ a variety of strategies in delivering effective services and supporting vulnerable groups. Research has focused on the role of social entrepreneurship in realizing the potential of HSOs to enact change on a wider scale. However, studies in this field remain fragmented and unsynthesized. Addressing this gap, the following study employs scoping review methodology to systematically assess current knowledge while integrating findings into a model representing organizational factors and characteristics that have been found to lead to social entrepreneurship in community-based HSOs, or “Social Entrepreneurial Orientation”. Coded data from selected articles were developed into a conceptual map that included social innovation (product-based, process-based, and socially transformative social innovations), risk-taking, proactivity (planning and forecasting), and market orientation.
