An Empirical Study on the Social Enterprise Working Environment and Employee Gratification

Though there have been various researches on social enterprises in the recent years, most of those focused on discussing the institutional aspects and outcomes whereas there were very few studies on the working environment, i.e. the relationships among different individuals and the correlation between workers and organizations. This paper, on the other hand, is based on empirical studies on the social enterprise working environment and employee gratification by investigating the correlations of workers and organizations as well as the relationships among different individual workers while considering the characteristics of social enterprises that have recently been recognized as a new form of organizations instead of focusing on the gratification levels of social enterprise workers purely based on job roles. This study was conducted through surveys of social enterprise workers in Chungcheongbuk-do especially analyzing the changes in gratification levels of working environment among different social enterprise workers according to the changes in individual characteristics. This study illustrates the main viewpoints for solutions by providing a diagnosis of social enterprise working environment to guide the strategic organization management directions for ensuring the continued development and revitalization of social enterprises. The purpose of this study is to provide an essential material for further researches in assisting the development of exemplary social enterprises in addition to nurturing the capacity for social enterprises to grow.
