Abstract

SVENSSON, Christian Franklin. "Making money is not an end in itself": creating meaningfulness among employees of social enterprises. Antipod. Rev. Antropol. Arqueol. [online]. 2014, n.18, pp.241-255. ISSN 1900-5407.

The different experiences, motivations and negotiations associated with the social and profit-making dimensions of money are of central concern to the employees of social enterprises. These negotiations become apparent because the social dimension plays a primary role within such organizations. Consequently, it is very important for employees that a balance should be achieved between the two. The meaningfulness of what social enterprises do in expression of their social relations introduces a broader discussion of employees as actors who are embedded within and act across several dimensions and traditions.

Keywords : Social enterprise; meaningfulness; negotiation; plural economy.
