Abstract

This study aims to systematically map and synthesize the development of Social Entrepreneurship Orientation (SEO) research and to identify future research directions. It employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) combined with bibliometric analysis. Data were collected from the Scopus database using the keyword “Social Entrepreneurship Orientation” in the title, abstract, and keywords fields. A total of 1,174 publications (2017–2025) were identified and analyzed using VOSviewer to examine publication trends, collaboration networks, and thematic structures. SEO research remains in an emerging, fragmented stage despite a rising trend in publications. Research is focused on a few countries and institutions, with limited international collaboration. The analysis highlights that SEO is closely linked to performance outcomes, while contextual, institutional, and innovation-related aspects remain underexplored. SEO research is still developing and requires more integrated, cross-national, and longitudinal studies to enhance theoretical development and empirical validation. The findings provide valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to develop collaborative and context-aware strategies for advancing social entrepreneurship practices. This study offers a thorough bibliometric analysis and highlights key gaps to inform future SEO research.
