Abstract
Otantiklik ve otantik liderlik literatürünü okuken bu kavramlar ile daha önce önerdiğimiz sosyal girişimcilik niyeti öncüllerimiz arasında kavramsal olarak güçlü bir kesişme olduğunu fark ettim . Bu makalenin amacı, otantik liderliğin ilgili boyutlarını önceki ortak yazarlı sosyal girişimcilik niyeti modelimiz ile birleştirmektir. Sosyal girişimciler, misyonlarını ön planda tutarak, emeklerini ve zamanlarını ayırarak kurumlarını kurarlar. Hedefleri, misyonları etrafında birleşen bir grup insanın sıkı çalışması sonucunda gerçeğe dönüşür. Sosyal girişimcilerin gücü genellikle değerlerine, problem çözme konusundaki kişisel deneyimlerine ve dayanıklılıklarına dayanır. Bu insanların başkalarının - genellikle kendilerininkine benzer olan- sorunlarını çözmek için ellerinden gelenin en iyisini yapmalarının bir nedeninin, hayat tecrübeleri doğrultusunda artan otantiklik seviyeleri olabileceğini düşünüyorum.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Founders of social enterprises become the initiators of their institutions by prioritizing their missions, and dedicating their efforts and time. Their goals become real as a result of hard work of a group of people, who unite around their missions. Based on the literature of authenticity and authentic leadership (AL), and social entrepreneurial intention formation; it was realized that there is a high degree of intersection between some of the authenticity concepts and the previously proposed antecedents of social entrepreneurial intention. The purpose of this paper is to conceptually merge the relevant dimensions of AL with a previously suggested social entrepreneurial intention (SEI) model. The strength of SEs is often based on their values, resilience, and personal experiences of solving problems. Based on the Constructivist Self Development Theory, it is suggested in this paper that a reason why these people do their best to solve others’ – often similar- problems, may be their increased levels of authenticity throughout their challenging life experiences.
