Abstract

The maintenance of a satisfactory quality of life in rural areas is fundamental for sustainable development. One of the ways to improve quality of life indicators is through the gathering of rural workers in solidarity economy organizations as these enterprises aim to integrate development with economic, social, and environmental sustainability. Because solidarity economy organizations have a robust social purpose, their performance must be evaluated based on both social and financial indicators. The objective of this article is to propose a performance evaluation model for rural solidarity economy enterprises, aiming to support decision making in these enterprises based on multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA), particularly the ELECTRE-TRI methodology. In order to demonstrate the applicability of the developed model and to perform sensitivity analyses, the model was applied to a group of eight family agriculture co-operatives in the southwest state of Paraná, Brazil. All the participating co-ops were considered part of the solidarity economy, and they served 2500 rural producer families across at least 15 municipalities. The results showed the applicability and stability of the model, enabling us to identify the dimensions in which each co-op should concentrate their efforts to improve not only their performance but also the outcomes for the farmers that they serve. Based on these results, organizational and improvement activities can be developed and implemented. This analysis contributes to economic and social indicators by offering improvement strategies for the professionalization and strategic management of RSEEs, thus strengthening these enterprises and, consequently, family agriculture
采用 ELECTRE-TRI 多标准方法衡量巴西巴拉那州西南部农村合作社的绩效
保持农村地区令人满意的生活质量是可持续发展的基础。提高生活质量指标的方法之一是将农村工人聚集到团结经济组织中,因为这些企业旨在将发展与经济、社会和环境的可持续发展结合起来。由于团结经济组织具有强烈的社会目的,因此必须根据社会和财务指标来评估其绩效。本文旨在提出一个农村团结经济企业绩效评估模型,以多标准决策分析(MCDA),特别是 ELECTRE-TRI 方法为基础,为这些企业的决策提供支持。为了证明所开发模型的适用性并进行敏感性分析,该模型被应用于巴西巴拉那州西南部的八个家庭农业合作社。所有参与的合作社都被视为团结经济的一部分,它们为至少 15 个城市的 2500 个农村生产者家庭提供服务。研究结果表明了该模型的适用性和稳定性,使我们能够确定每个合作社应在哪些方面集中精力,不仅要提高其绩效,还要改善其服务的农民的成果。根据这些结果,可以制定并实施组织和改进活动。这项分析为 RSEE 的专业化和战略管理提供了改进战略,从而加强了这些企业,进而加强了家庭农业,从而为经济和社会指标做出了贡献。
