“…In a second corpus, nonprofit scholars investigated the positive effects of value congruence, mainly on employee satisfaction commitment (Macy, ; Stride & Higgs, ), organization's legitimacy (Nevile, ) and involvement in local communities (Lundåsen, ). According to Chen, Lune and Queen (, p. 857), “researchers have not yet fully conceptualized how values shape organizations' forms, practices, and activities.” Nevile () described how organizational values can be incorporated into programs, and Kerwin et al () studied the enactment of the “management by values” perspective in sports nonprofits, with specific attention to employee involvement in value development and value communication.…”

Normative values are one of the most central motives for the creation of nonprofits and social enterprises. Nevertheless, their actual role in the management of these organizations has been little explored. Furthermore, the social enterprise literature has typically approached the concept of value from a value creation perspective. This paper looks at the role played by normative values in the strategic management decisions of a nonprofit social enterprise and unpacks the dynamics between the enactment of these values and the creation of social and economic value. In terms of practical implications, this research allows for proposal of a value‐based, strategic management decision aid tool that emerged from the in‐depth, longitudinal study of a work integration social enterprise. Our findings suggest that the enactment of normative values can actually feed in economic value creation, which, in turn, allows for strengthened respect of the normative values, thus generating virtuous cycles that ultimately help the organization to find a coherence between its social mission and market.

“…The essential condition for the establishment and development of non-governmental organizations is the social activity of citizens, which is understood as their participation in "organized forms through the joint determination of objectives, principles, methods and forms of activity, the development of conditions and participation in activities" (Hrynkiewicz, 2002). At the local level, NGOs use their organizational capacities and participate in the formation of local communities, improving the quality of citizens' life, as well as taking responsibility for local development, attachment to democratic values and practices (Anheier, 2005;Lundåsen, 2014). In particular, local NGOs bring together the needs of individuals and larger groups, increase the sense of community and identity, and build inter-organizational and interpersonal ties (Bogacz-Wojtanowska, 2013).…”

Background. Volunteer fire brigades are primarily active at the local level; they are an organizational form of a self-organizing community; they build and benefit from social capital and pursue many social objectives. The local community – the main audience of their activities – often clusters around them. The activities of volunteer fire brigades result from legal obligations, but also from the values shared by the firefighting community. Research aims. The research objective was to identify values shaping the organizational communities of firefighters and activities determined by such values. The values adhered to by volunteer fire brigade members as well as their activities for the benefit of local communities were identified, including those dedicated to sustaining the volunteer fire brigades’ existence. Methodology. The strategy for organizing data acquisition and presentation was a collective case study. The research methods that served the purpose of the research included individual interviews, group interviews, participant observations, and analysis of existing documents. Findings. The values that shape firefighting communities comprise a sense of public service, trust, friendship, kindness, loyalty, solidarity, respect and cooperation. By treating their commitment as service, firefighters fulfil the need of a sense of community, which they extend beyond organizational boundaries by dedicating their actions to local communities.
