On the basis of the lack of measurement tools and the research gap regarding social entrepreneurship, three studies were conducted to develop a new measure of social enterprise (SE) performance that is empirically valid and easy to administer. The purpose of this measure was to examine the relationship between entrepreneurs' personality traits and their perceived SE performance. The results indicated that SE performance can be assessed using four dimensions: personal issues, social aspects, business elements, and service programmes. Extraversion positively influenced service programmes, and openness negatively affected service programmes. Neuroticism and conscientiousness positively predicted personal issues and service programmes, and agreeableness positively predicted all dimensions of perceived SE performance. The results also demonstrated the curvilinear relationship of the U-shaped curve between neuroticism and personal issues and the social aspects of SE performance. Furthermore, the results showed the curvilinear relationship of the inverted U-shaped curve between agreeableness and the four dimensions of SE performance. (original abstract)

Wobec braku narzędzi pomiaru oraz istnienia luki badawczej w zakresie przedsiębiorczości społecznej, przeprowadzono trzy badania mające na celu opracowanie nowego sposobu pomiaru wyników przedsiębiorczości społecznej, który byłby trafny empirycznie i łatwy do zastosowania. Opracowane narzędzie pozwala na badanie relacji między cechami osobowości przedsiębiorców i postrzeganiem przez nich wyników w zakresie przedsiębiorczości społecznej. Wyniki wykazały, że przedsiębiorczość społeczna może być oceniana w czterech wymiarach: aspektów osobistych związanych z przedsiębiorcą, aspektów społecznych, elementów biznesowych, oraz świadczonych usług. Ekstrawersja pozytywnie wpływa na świadczone usługi, natomiast otwartość ma na nie wpływ negatywny. Neurotyczność i sumienność wykazywały pozytywny związek z aspektami osobistymi przedsiębiorcy i świadczonymi usługami, a ugodowość miała pozytywny związek z wszystkimi wymiarami postrzeganych wyników przedsiębiorczości społecznej. Wyniki badań wykazały również krzywoliniowy związek w kształcie litery U pomiędzy neurotycznością i aspektami osobistymi przedsiębiorcy oraz aspektami społecznymi wyników przedsiębiorczości społecznej. Ponadto, zaobserwowano krzywoliniową, U-kształtną zależność pomiędzy ugodowością a czterema wymiarami wyników przedsiębiorczości społecznej. (abstrakt oryginalny)
