ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of culture factors of social enterprise in Seoul on their organization’s social performance and economic performance, and to investigate a mediating effect of network activity. In addition, to examine the impact of social performance, which is a characteristic of social enterprises distinguished from general companies, the model was compared and verified by adding a path between social performance and economic performance. Date were collected from 201 social enterprises in Seoul and response rate is 75.6%. Data were analyzed using SEM. The findings of the study are as follows. First, the control culture of social enterprises has a positive (+) influence on social performance, and network activity has a positive (+) influence on social and economic performance. Second, the flexible culture of social enterprises showed a positive (+) influence on social performance, whereas the network activity had a positive (+) influence on social performance only. Third, the network activity has a partial mediating effect on flexible culture and social enterprise performance. In addition, organizations with flexible culture have higher network activity with other organizations. These companies have high social performance and also shown positive effects on their economic performance. From these results, we have discussed how to improve the performance of social enterprises in terms of organizational management.
