Abstract
The increasing number of social enterprises and number of charities becoming
social enterprises is heartening in terms of the potential impact that we will see in the
future on our society and the environment. Social enterprises might be recognized as a
new phenomenon in Thailand, but actually there are many frustrations regarding their
performance. The objectives of this study, then, were to investigate the role of social
entrepreneurship and the social capital of the social enterprise in terms of resources
and performance, to examine the effects of social entrepreneurship and social capital
on organizational resources and performance, and to make recommendations for
management and government policies to promote social enterprises as part of public
service providers.
The research employed both quantitative and qualitative methods. Of the
1,000 social enterprises that were mailed the survey, 158 (15.8%) returned completed
questionnaires. The proposed path analytic model was tested using structural equation
modeling to evaluate the theoretically-specified constructs in order to measure and
examine the proposed causal relationship model. The results of the hypothesis testing
indicated that only three of the six hypotheses were significant, social
entrepreneurship had a positive effect on social capital, social capital had a positive
effect on organizational resources, and organizational resources had a positive effect
on organizational performance.
Integrating resource dependence theory with the resource-based view can be a
better link to organizational performance than using only one theory. The study
results make contributions to those that are involved in administration and politics.
Social entrepreneurs will have a better understanding of the factors affecting their
performance. Managers should build and use their entrepreneurship to gain social
capital and organizational resources. For further research, the model proposed in this
study should be examined using other types of social enterprises or organizations.
Social return on investment may be seen as a part of organizational performance.
Comparative study between modern NGOs that have adopted the concept of social
entrepreneurship and traditional NGOs could be conducted, and the barriers or
obstacles of social enterprises could be studied to enhance and sustain their
performance.
