Abstract

In recent years, social entrepreneurship plays an important role in the process of social governance and gains increasing attention from scholars. This research focuses on a famous social enterprise in China to identify its impacts on employees. The results show that the social enterprise has impacts on the internal staff. These impacts include enlarging people's knowledge and skills, providing employments, bringing psychological changes, improving staffs' sense of social responsibilities and voluntary spirits and making people more innovative. Among these impacts, there are differences between social enterprises and other organizations which are social responsibility and voluntary spirit, level of innovation and empowerment. The analysis enriches current research on social impacts of social enterprise and also highlights issues for future practice.
