The Effect of Social Entrepreneurship on Organizational Performance

Purpose: This paper empirically analyzes the effect of social entrepreneurship on organizational performance by mediating government support. In most previous studies, it is reported that social value orientation has a positive effect on the performance of social enterprises. Research design, data, and methodology: In order to verify the mediating effect of government support on the r ela tionship between socia l entrepreneurship and organizational performance, a survey was conducted on social enterprise workers (managers, managers, and practitioners) across the country. The survey was conducted for about two weeks from January 3 to January 17, 2022. A survey was conducted through the Naver online survey link, and a total of 200 people pa rticipa ted in t he s urvey. Among t hem, t here w a s no i nsincere r esponse, a nd data analysis was conducted based on the data of 200 people. The data collected in this study were analyzed by the following procedure using SPSS 25. Results: As a result, as shown in , all scores and extracorporeal values of all sub-factors were -.672 to -.100. The kurtosis values were -.556∼ 1.013, and the extraversion of all variables was within the absolute value │2│, and the kurtosis was within the absolute value │7│. Through this, it can be understood that all variables met the criteria for forming a normal distribution suggested by Curran, West, and Finch (1996). This study analyzed the correlation between variables by calculating Pearson’s correlation coefficient to understand the correlation between the independent variable social entrepreneurship, the mediating variable government support, and the dependent variable organizational performance. Implications: As a result of correlation analysis between variables, the correlations among all variables were found to be statistically significant.
