The institutional-regulatory environment has a negative and significant effect on the dimension of alertness, but it does not have a significant effect on the dimension of being active. On the other hand, the institutional-normative environment did not have a significant effect on the dimensions of opportunity recognition behavior (being alert and active) and finally, the dimensions of opportunity recognition behavior (being alert and active) have a positive and significant effect on the readiness for social entrepreneurship.
