“…Nowadays it is used widely for, amongst other things, the objective evaluation of people's needs and subjective levels of satisfaction, the evaluation of results of programs, strategies, and activities aimed at quality improvement carried out by social and welfare services, the collection of relevant information to guide service provision, and policy formulation and planning aimed at the improvement of QoL and people's rights (Bigby, Knox, Beadle-Brown, & Bould, 2014;Brown, Hatton, & Emerson, 2013;Buntinx & Schalock, 2010;Claes, van Hove, Vandevelde, van Loon, & Schalock, 2010;Gómez, Arias, Verdugo, & Navas, 2012;Luckasson & Schalock, 2013;Schalock, Gardner, & Bradley, 2007;van Loon et al, 2013;Verdugo, Navas, Gómez, & Schalock, 2012).…”

Background: This study describes the socio-demographic, clinical and functional characteristics of a representative sample of services users in Italy. The supports provided by formal agencies, natural networks and actual levels of quality of life (QoL) were assessed. Methods: 1,285 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) served by 23 different services participated to the study. The influence of availability of support strategies, environmental factors, client characteristics, personal desires and goals, and support needs on the current QoL status was investigated using multiple regression. Results: QoL outcomes were significantly explained by support needs, client characteristics, personal goals and desires, and marginally by the presence of support strategies and environmental factors. Further, only a minor effect was found from support activities for general QoL outcomes. Conclusions: the results confirmed that the personal outcomes could be predicted providing support activities aligned to the specific personal needs and goals, confirming the importance of Personal Centered Planning process.

There is a growing consensus that the adoption of performance measurement tools are of particular interest for social enterprises in order to support internal decision-making and to answer the demands of accountability toward their stakeholders. As a result, different methodologies to assess the non-financial performance of social enterprises are developed by academics and practitioners. Many of these methodologies are on the one hand discussions of general guidelines or, on the other hand, very case specific. As such, these methodologies do not offer a functional tool for a broad range of social enterprises. The goal of this article is to fill this gap by developing an instrument suitable for the internal assessment and the external reporting of the non-financial performance of a diverse group of social enterprises. To reach this goal, we used qualitative (focus groups and a Delphi panel) and quantitative research methods (exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis), involving multiple actors in the field of social entrepreneurship. Focusing on five dimensions of organizational performance (economic, environmental, community, human and governance performance), we offer a set of indicators and an assessment tool for social enterprises.
