Prior research on social entrepreneurship highlights the role and importance of values in managing change, yet few studies examine processes of managing values to achieve social change. Through a longitudinal case study of the social organization Barefoot College, we explored how a social entrepreneur navigated conflicting values to address issues of gender inequality and effect social change. We found that the social entrepreneur engaged in values-related work, purposively interpreting and enacting values-laden practices to bring about a quiet transformation within the community. In our resulting value augmentation model, we capture a process that anchors and amplifies social values, rather than replaces them, and with this model, we develop theory on values work and sustainable social change.

社会企业家精神和价值观工作：实践在塑造价值观和谈判变革中的作用

先前关于社会创业的研究强调了价值观在管理变革中的作用和重要性，但很少有研究考察管理价值观以实现社会变革的过程。通过对社会组织 Barefoot College 的纵向案例研究，我们探讨了社会企业家如何驾驭相互冲突的价值观来解决性别不平等问题并影响社会变革。我们发现社会企业家从事与价值观相关的工作，有目的地解释和制定充满价值观的实践，以在社区内带来安静的转变。在我们由此产生的价值增强模型中，我们捕捉了一个锚定和放大社会价值的过程，而不是取代它们，并且通过这个模型，我们开发了关于价值运作和可持续社会变革的理论。
