Diversos grupos de actores y beneficiarios estan recurriendo a este tipo de organizacion para responder a retos urgentes en la sociedad. Combinar la busqueda de un impacto social positivo con una emprendimiento comercial puede crear tensiones al reunir dos fuerzas opuestas que traen sus propios valores, metas, y estrategias. Aunque la investigacion de las tensiones que se derivan de la combinacion de las logicas sociales y comerciales ha recibido gran atencion en la literatura, no queda claro que otros tipos de tensiones pueden surgir en las empresas sociales y como se pueden gestionar esas tensiones. Esta tesis doctoral, basada en las teorias de las organizaciones hibridas, la coopeticion y los modelos de negocio, pretende poner de manifiesto los tipos de tensiones que los empre...

By embedding it in organizational ambivalence theory, our analysis of four volunteer-dependent community ventures reveals two mechanisms through which entrepreneurs strengthen volunteers’ emotional connectivity. We first identify emotion-focused practices that form volunteers’ emotional attachment to the venture, and then demonstrate how duality-focused practices, in the form of managing inherent organizational duality, complement emotion-focused practices to foster volunteers’ emotional loyalty to the venture. Theorizing from our findings, we introduce a model of managing volunteers’ emotional connectivity, and conclude by discussing its implications for prosocial venture research on volunteerism and affective commitment.

Based on an in-depth, qualitative study with work integration social enterprises in the secondhand clothes industry, we uncover the dynamics of simultaneous cooperation and competition. Our analysis shows that social enterprises simultaneously—rather than sequentially—engage in coopetitive actions at three levels of action: operational, stakeholder, and environmental interface. At each level, social enterprises engage in different coopetitive actions that do not easily fall under the commercial–social tension usually studied in the social entrepreneurship literature. Social and economic goals motivate both competition and cooperation, but we argue that this plays out differently at each level of coopetition. We conclude with implications f...
