Abstract
"Social entrepreneurship" is an interdisciplinary concept that has been proposed in the fields of management, economics, psychology and sociology, and it can be a suitable solution for solving social problems and a stimulus for social changes and economic development. These types of entrepreneurs play a key role in promoting social entrepreneurship, but there is not enough data about their personal values, especially in Iran. This research, by using the qualitative approach and content analysis of the themes of semi-structured interviews with 17 female entrepreneurs, has analyzed the issue of ethnography of women social entrepreneurs in Tehran based on the formulation of the personal value system. Based on this, the findings indicate that the most important values of women social entrepreneurs are caring for others, improving the standard of living of others, preserving the environment, self-leadership, willingness to change, conservatism and power seeking. These values show the contradictions between individualistic and collectivist values in these women. The values of individualism and collectivism in women social entrepreneurs are relative and help to develop their self-awareness, self-confidence, purposefulness and conscious agency. Based on these values, four types of conservative social entrepreneurs, action researchers, meaning-based, and honorable professionals can be identified.
