ABSTRACT

Social enterprises (SE) – organizations with a dual mission to generate economic and social value – have become important players in the delivery of public services in the UK and elsewhere. While public sector value-for-money imperatives encourages these hybrid organizations to provide estimates of their social and economic impact, relatively little is known about who does so. Using institutional perspectives and large-sample data produced by Social Enterprises UK, we empirically document the uptake of social impact measurement in this sector and the extent to which context, the nature of the impact and stakeholders involvement explain differences in participation rates.

抽象的

社会企业（SE）是承担经济和社会价值双重使命的组织，它们已成为英国及其他地区提供公共服务的重要参与者。尽管公共部门以物有所值的要求鼓励这些混合组织提供其社会和经济影响的估计，但对于谁这样做却知之甚少。使用机构观点和英国社会企业提供的大量样本数据，我们以经验的方式记录了该部门对社会影响度量的采用以及背景，影响的性质和利益相关者参与程度在多大程度上解释了参与率的差异。
