摘要

社会企业(SEs)如何扩大其社会影响是一个重大挑战,特别是在中国这样的转型社会中,社会企业生态系统仍处于初级发展阶段。虽然以往的研究主要关注规模化策略与规模化绩效的关系,但都没有通过实证定量分析来考察规模化策略与规模化绩效之间的关系。为了解决这一差距,本研究首次采用假设检验的定量方法,探讨了不同规模策略对规模绩效的不同影响以及组织资源的调节作用。我们的研究结果表明,三种类型的规模策略与规模绩效呈正相关,并且这种联系的程度从组织成长的知识传播到契约伙伴关系。此外,我们的研究结果表明,财务和人力资源的充分性是正向调节因子,显著放大了组织成长的规模战略对规模绩效的贡献。研究结果为中小企业管理者和从业者提供了重要的启示,帮助他们在考虑中小企业组织资源的情况下,就如何在中国或其他类似背景下选择和实施合适的规模战略做出明智的决策。

The Scaling Strategies and the Scaling Performance of Chinese Social Enterprises: The Moderating Role of Organizational Resources
Abstract It is a significant challenge for social enterprises (SEs) to scale up their social impact, especially for those in transforming societies such as China, where the ecosystem of SEs remains at a nascent stage of development. Although previous studies have devoted attention to scaling strategies and scaling performance, none of them has examined the relationship between scaling strategies and scaling performance through empirical quantitative analysis. To address this gap, this study utilizes a hypothesis-testing quantitative method, for the first time, to investigate the divergent impact of different scaling strategies on scaling performance and the moderating role of organizational resources. Our results demonstrate that three types of scaling strategies are positively associated with scaling performance, and the magnitude of the linkages descends from knowledge dissemination through organizational growth to contractual partnerships. Additionally, our results reveal that the adequacy of financial and human resources perform as positive moderators, significantly magnifying the contribution of the scaling strategy of organizational growth to scaling performance. The findings provide important implications for SE managers and practitioners, helping them make informed decisions regarding how to choose and implement suitable scaling strategies in Chinese or other similar contexts, while considering the SEs’ organizational resources.

期刊介绍: Entrepreneurship Research Journal (ERJ) was launched with an Inaugural Issue in 2011. Professor Ramona Zachary at Baruch College and Professor Chandra Mishra at Florida Atlantic University introduce a new forum for scholarly discussion on entrepreneurs and their activities, contexts, processes, strategies, and outcomes. Positioned as the premier new research journal within the field of entrepreneurship, ERJ seeks to encourage a scholarly exchange between researchers from any field of study who focus on entrepreneurs, and will include both theoretical and empirical articles, with priority being given to high quality theoretical and empirical papers that have managerial or public policy orientation as well as ramifications for entrepreneurship research overall. Topics: -Research Modeling, Design, and Methods: entrepreneurship theories and conceptualizations, entrepreneurship research methods. -The Individuals-Opportunities-Resources Nexus: nascent entrepreneurs, opportunity recognition, drivers of value creation, and emergence, innovation and technology entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial risk and reward, entrepreneurial cognition and behavior. -Inclusive of Near Environments: family entrepreneurship, networks, teams and alliances, venture capital and angel investor groups, entrepreneurial communities, hubs, clusters and public policy, social entrepreneurship. -Distinct Entrepreneurial Stage or Setting: entrepreneurial growth and strategy, boards, governance and leadership, corporate entrepreneurship, international and emerging market entrepreneurship.
