“…Sustainable development addresses global challenges while social enterprise discourses the agenda of creating positive social change. The aim of a social enterprise is completely aligned with sustainable development goals, which is to harness a better quality of life [50]. Social enterprises are active in a wide variety of fields, including the fight against the structural unemployment of groups excluded from the labor market, personal social services, urban regeneration, environmental services, and the provision of other public goods or services [51].…”

“…Naturally, the role of social enterprises described in the literature is far more extensive than simple references to particular SDGs. Some, in order to address it, write about the 18th goal [119], others indicate that social enterprises do not pursue only one goal at a time but rather a group of interlinked SDGs [50,120,121]. Nevertheless, showing the role that social enterprises have in sustainable development through their input to particular SDGs is a good way of presenting how closely linked the mission of a social enterprise is to the concept of sustainability.…”

Social enterprises today are a worldwide phenomenon that has had a major impact on local communities and societies. Apart from pursuing their mission within the market, social enterprises are closely linked through scientific theories with the concept of sustainable development. In practice, they are linked with pursuing so-called sustainable development goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015. It is a universal call to action to end poverty. One of the ways of fighting against poverty is providing people excluded from the labor market with decent jobs. It is one of the main aims of many social enterprises. The aim of this paper is to identify internal and external conditions influencing the functioning and development of social enterprises operating in the Warmia and Mazury region, which is underdeveloped according to the EU taxonomy. This paper used survey research conducted among social enterprises in the region of Warmia and Mazury. In the context of sustainable development as a concept, this paper identifies the scale of influence of the analyzed social enterprises on restoring people who are professionally excluded into the labor market. This paper indicates that not only financial and legal issues limit the development of social enterprises, but also elements such as the insufficient number of people willing to do social work or the level of creativity of the employed staff. It has been established that among analyzed enterprises, the level of received support is associated with the number of created workplaces, but it is not connected with gained income, nor is the volume of employment within the analyzed social enterprises correlated with gained income.

“…The growing academic interest leaped to elaborate the sustainable development goals, the focus of Agenda 2030, in September 2015. It is worth mentioning that social businesses have their purpose aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to offer individuals a better quality of life (Kassim et al, 2020). Although the volume is significantly smaller, the SBP topic has also caught the attention of scholars in emerging countries.…”

Objective: This article proposes a systematic review of the literature on social business performance (SBP) measures to analyze its current panorama of studies and propose a research agenda. Methodology: A mixed approach, quantitative regarding the use of descriptive statistical analysis, and qualitative regarding the content analysis. The research considered 241 peer-reviewed journal articles extracted from the Scopus database in English from 2010 to 2021, of which 34 comprised the qualitative analysis. Results and Conclusion: The results reveal a growing interest in this field of research in recent years, especially from 2017 to 2020. Most studies on SBP are concentrated in North America, specifically in the United States (52 articles). Subjective scales are the most frequent as SBP measures, and the scale developed by Miles et al. (2014), which addresses economic and social performance, was the one that stood out the most in the studies. Of the 34 articles that constituted the qualitative analysis, a research agenda composed of four categories can be established. Research implications: The study contributes to research in social business, primarily social and economic performance, evidencing a perception of the evolution of SBP studies in the last ten years. Originality/value: It presents the objective and subjective SBP measures adopted in scientific production. It also presents an agenda for future research that covers the application of studies in other contexts and sectors. The research focused on longitudinal studies, quantifiable and objective measures, and comparisons between social and traditional businesses.

“…Initially, social entrepreneurship emerged from the social economy which emphasizes on nonprofit approaches that seek to maximize social wealth, while allowing for social and community growth (Caroline & Antonio, 2011). Rising societal engagement makes people acknowledge how social entrepreneurship may act as an alternative tool in empowering economy for disadvantaged groups (Kassim et al, 2020).…”

Social entrepreneurship is one of the initiatives to eliminate and minimise social issues. While there are many factors that determine social entrepreneurship performance, the importance of government support and stakeholder engagement in modelling the performance is yet to be fully explored. In line with the government's effort in certifying the status of social entrepreneurship through Social Enterprise Accreditation (SEA) in Malaysia, it is important to figure out what characterizes organization performance to thrive in the sector. Therefore, the research objective is to explore and validate the measurement instrument for social entrepreneurship performance model. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed towards social enterprises in Malaysia with the help of Malaysian Global Innovation and Creativity Centre (MaGIC) by using purposive sampling technique.. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was then carried out by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Based on the results, there are five constructs that are interrelated and form the model which are government support, community/ local resident engagement, employee engagement, organization contribution and social entrepreneurship performance. Notably, major finding of this study is the measurement instrument proved to have four underlying factors measuring social entrepreneurship performance (community/local resident stakeholder, government support, employee stakeholder engagement, organization contribution), instead of just two (government support, stakeholder engagement). The authors suggest future research to employ the developed measurement instrument in a larger sample size to better understand the performance of social entrepreneurship in a different context of study. The analyses presented in this research can be used by policymakers towards the growth and performance of social entrepreneurship in Malaysia. The findings achieved in this research will be of interest for practitioners and academics concerned with developments of social entrepreneurship in Malaysia.
