摘要：The scaling of social innovation is an important issue in social enterprises for sustainability. The
scenario is due to the social enterprise capabilities to ensure the social program’s impact on society
to become wider and deeper. Thus, social innovation helps to identify the social problems and
target actions to address the social complex problems by social enterprise capabilities. This study
investigates the factors of social enterprise capabilities in enhancing social innovation for sustainability
and for eliminating the social barriers. In addition, the study discusses the relationship between
social enterprise capabilities to scale social innovation. The study uses cross-sectional design
and collects the necessary data from 136 social enterprises in Malaysia for the survey. The
findings show that social enterprise capabilities for earning generation, replicating, and stimulating
had a positive relationship with scaling social innovation when the level of significance was 0.05.
Accordingly, the social enterprise owners are required to improve their capabilities to reach a
higher scale of social innovation for growth and sustainability.
