Examining the impact of control and ownership on social enterprises’ public value creation using integrative publicness theory
研究了社会企业中公共性(包括内部控制、所有权和外部控制)对公共价值创造的影响,发现内部控制正向关联所有公共价值创造变量,所有权部分关联,外部控制无显著关系,对政策制定者和管理者有实践启示。
This study examined the impact of publicness on public value creation in social enterprises from the perspective of integrative publicness. Our findings show that internal control is positively associated with all variables of a social enterprise’s public value creation. Ownership is also partially associated with the public value creation of social enterprises, while external control does not show any significant relationship. This study provides policymakers and social enterprise managers with the practical implications of the relationship between social enterprise publicness and its social outcomes. This study also contributes to strengthening the relevance of the integrative publicness framework by demonstrating the impact of dimensional publicness on public value creation in the context of social enterprises.
