摘要

个人创办和加入社会企业是为了促进社会影响，但可能在主观上并不认为他们的工作有影响力。在这篇文章中，我们归纳地揭示了社会企业成员何时质疑他们工作的影响力，以及他们如何参与意义建构来体验他们的工作是有影响力的。通过对两家具有不同使命的社会企业成员的经历进行探索，我们提供了在影响力中产生歧义或差异的实例的见解，并揭示了个人如何在不同的情况下通过两种不同的意义构建实践:内化和补偿。我们揭示了体验有影响力的工作所需要的努力，强调了保持这种感知的异质性和能动性，并提出了社会企业成员和使命的潜在阴暗面。

Working For Impact, But Failing to Experience It: Exploring Individuals’ Sensemaking in Social Enterprises

Individuals start and join social enterprises to catalyze social impact but may not subjectively experience their work as impactful. In this article, we inductively uncover when social enterprise members question the impactfulness of their work and how they engage in sensemaking to experience their work as impactful. Exploring the experiences of members across two social enterprises with different missions, we provide insights into instances creating ambiguity of or discrepancies in impactfulness and unearth how individuals navigate these in different circumstances with two distinct sensemaking practices: internalizing and compensating. We reveal the efforts required to experience work as impactful, highlight the heterogeneity and agency in maintaining this perception, and suggest a potential dark side for members and missions of social enterprises.
