Proceedings of Annual South Africa Business Research Conference 11 - 12 January 2016, Taj Hotel, Cape Town, South Africa, ISBN: 978-1-922069-95-5 Developmental Influence of Students’ Attitudes, Intentions and Behavior on Social Entrepreneurs in Nigerian Universities Saidi AdedejI Adelekan* and Williamson Mervywn** The Nigeria university system is presently acknowledged as preparing graduates as employee of labor rather than being employers of labor. There is general agreement that attitudes towards social entrepreneurship are determinant factors to decision of becoming social entrepreneurs. Drawing on the theory of planned behavior, this study looked at the approach to the influence of social entrepreneurship education on the entrepreneurial attitudes, intentions and behavior of the Nigerian universities students. This is necessary in order to confirm conventional insight that social entrepreneurship education increases the intention to start a venture. Being a preliminary and study approach, the result is anticipated to showcase that social entrepreneurship education increases some attitudes and the overall entrepreneurial intention and that inspiration is one of the programs with most influential benefits. This study will be a quantitative research. Data will be collected through the use of structured questionnaire from three selected universities in Nigeria. A sample size of 254 will be drawn from the total population of the final year students of 3,777. The data collected will be analyzed using simple descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations) and inferential statistics using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings will contribute to the theories of planned behavior and education and also serve as benchmark for the practice of teaching social entrepreneurship. Recommendations for measures to nurture an evidently existing potential for sustainable social entrepreneurship is hereby proffered. Keywords: Development, Social Entrepreneurs, Nigerian Universities, Attitudes, Intentions, Behaviors _________________________________________________________________________ *Saidi Adedeji Adelekan, School of Management, Information Technology and Governance, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa.
