“…Thus networking ability is one of competencies that determines social entrepreneurs success. Orhei et al (2015) study results about organizational knowledge, organizational skills, project management as social entrepreneur competencies mentioned by some informants but they were not supported by data consistently.

In this reality accountability has turned into an institutional foundation and measurement defines value as per increasing requirements of stakeholders. The motivation behind this paper is to address change and its effects in progress on a social level. No matter the harbinger of change is social entrepreneurial ventures, social innovation or socially obligated activities, it deciphers into a change in business as standard of the society. In this way, the dialogue of our paper spins around quality, social issue, enterprise and it associates them to the effect on social level they produce by introducing the systems used to quantify this effect and their essential reservations. The systems for measuring the societal effect found in the literature inclines toward measurement in monetary sense and it tends to disregard the significance of the psychological influence an organization may have over its objective customers. Moreover, social effect is translated from organizational aspects and of the financial specialists, disregarding the clients that are the object of the influence. Additional discoveries expose that there is no appropriate legal enactment to manage this turf and no specific regulatory frameworks to administer the social affect. Three standards are proposed supporting social effect estimation model (supportability, included quality and adaptability).

Social enterprises have been widely recognized as tools to solve societal problems. As the soul of social enterprises, social entrepreneurs help social enterprises overcome resource constraints and achieve survival and development. However, existing studies have focused limited attention on the effects of social entrepreneur characteristics on social enterprise performance. Drawing on the institutional logics perspective, this paper constructs a theoretical model of social entrepreneurial passion and entrepreneurial competence affecting social enterprise performance through organizational legitimacy and examines the moderating effect of regulatory uncertainty. Data were collected from 198 social enterprises in China. The results indicate that organizational legitimacy mediates the relationships between social entrepreneurial passion, entrepreneurial competence, and social enterprise performance. Regulatory uncertainty positively moderates the relationship between organizational legitimacy and social enterprise economic performance. The findings of this study contribute to research on social enterprise performance and organizational legitimacy. This paper also offers practical suggestions that social entrepreneurs should exert their passion and competence, obtain organizational legitimacy, and analyze the institutional environments to promote the development of the enterprise.
