Social entrepreneurship within the nonprofit sector has gained popularity as a concept informing the management of high functioning human service organizations. However, research has neglected to quantitatively test and measure factors contributing to this multidimensional model. Addressing this gap, this research collected primary data on executive directors ( n = 306) of human service nonprofit organizations in Canada to validate a pre-identified scale of social entrepreneurial orientation (SEO) consisting of social innovation, risk taking, proactiveness, and market engagement. Findings from confirmatory factor analysis found all four latent variables had strong construct validity and reliability, as did the higher order variable of SEO (including all factors). Results support the adoption of this model as a robust measure of SEO in human service nonprofits, and can be used to inform the management and assessment of specific organization-level factors that contribute to social entrepreneurship
