In the recent decades social entrepreneurship has been recognized as a good alternative and sustainable model in solving many social problems. One of them is the problem of social exclusion of people with behavioral problems. The aim of this thesis is to describe experiences and opportunities of social entrepreneurship in the employment of people with behavioral problems in the Republic of Croatia. In order to answer the research questions, a qualitative research approach was used and five interviews were conducted with the organizers of social enterprises that include people with behavioral problems in their activities. In the data processing, the method of thematic analysis was used, which resulted in three topics (experiences in the employment of people with behavioral problems in social enterprises, restrictions in the employment of people with behavioral problems in social enterprises and employment potentials for people with behavioral problems in social enterprises), described through 11 categories. The results of the research show that the organizers recognize a comparative focus on market operations and on providing support to their employees as a difficulty. They also recognize some limitations in employee engagement due to their psychosocial difficulties. However, they see the potential in their numerous qualities that they try to strengthen and the opportunities that employees can gain by working in their organization. Some options are: schooling, work experience or personal empowerment. In the last part of the thesis, the results are related to the relevant literature and suggestions for further research are given.
