Results showed that Improving the results of social entrepreneurship and its influence on regional communities primarily depends on effective leadership, which encompasses both transformational and transactional approaches. Transparency, accountability, and social responsibility are the cornerstones of ethical behavior, closely linked to improved social entrepreneurship outcomes and increased community well-being. Market orientation dramatically enhances the results of social entrepreneurship and its influence on the community. It encompasses market research, customer feedback, and market-based strategy. The study's findings offer the potential to improve social entrepreneurship theory, which strongly emphasizes market responsiveness, ethical principles, and leadership.
