ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses that the 'under-performance' discourse in the context of social entrepreneurship could provide some answers to the debate. The results of the survey carried out in Morocco and Spain confirm that Spanish women are not so different from Moroccan women in terms of their social entrepreneurial intention. Social business is undoubtedly one of the forms of economic activation of women who are unemployed or threatened with unemployment. The chapter aims to illustrate the process through which empathy operates in developing women's social entrepreneurial intentions. It describes women's entrepreneurial passion as the passion they feel about a cause and undertaking a business-like activity that earns money to support that cause. The phenomenon of female entrepreneurship is observed in many economies; the intensity of it may be higher or lower, depending on the country analysed. A discussion of the entrepreneurial intention process requires rigorous attention to the important aspect of how decision-making is thoroughly intertwined with emotional appraisal.
