“…As for the members' participation, results revealed that there is a strong positive relationship between members' participation and co-operatives' performance which is consistent with past studies (Gray and Kraenzle, 1998;Mahazril'Aini et al, 2012;Othman et al, 2012Othman et al, , 2014Ünal et al, 2009). This result suggested that active participation of members in the co-operative's activities would help to maintain the direction of the cooperative and ensure its success in the long term.…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors affecting cooperatives performance by focussing on the roles of its intangible assets which are in the form of intellectual capital and members' participation. Design/methodology/approach-Questionnaires have been distributed among cooperatives board of members of the 100 best cooperatives in Malaysia. This study used Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis to examine the impact of intellectual capital and members' participation on the cooperatives performance and determine the most influencing factors that affect the performance. Findings-Results showed that there is a positive relationship between structural capital, relational capital and members' participation with the cooperatives performance while human capital has been found to have a negative relationship. This is further supported by the findings based on the multiple regression analysis whereby all the independent variables were found to be significant expect for structural capital. Based on the findings, this study proposed a model for co-operatives' performance which is based on its intangible assets. Practical implications-Findings of this study would provide guidance for the cooperatives sector to improve its performance and indirectly help the government in realizing the nation economic goals. Originality/value-This study provided a better understanding on the performance of the cooperatives by focussing on the roles of its intangible assets. Apparently, there are very limited studies on intellectual capital which is based on cooperative framework and thereby this present study would fill in the gap. In addition, due to the objective of the cooperatives which differs from other types of organization, findings of this study might provide significant contribution on the study of intellectual capital.

This study assessed the performance of 32 village unit co-operatives (KUD) in Yogyakarta Special Region during 2011 to 2012. The efficiency level of the KUD were evaluated by employing the data envelopment analysis and multiple regression analysis using panel data to determine the factors affecting efficiency level. Efficiency analysis was decomposed into three dimensions to explore possible sources of inefficiency. According to Marwa and Aziakpono (2016), the first dimension was technical efficiency, which explored the overall effectiveness of transforming the productive inputs into desired outputs compared to the data-driven frontier of best practice. The second dimension was pure technical efficiency, which captured managerial efficiency in the intermediation process. The third dimension was scale efficiency, which explored whether KUD were operating in an optimal scale of operation or not. The results found that the average scores are 64%, 92%, and 68% for technical, pure technical, and scale efficiency respectively in 2011, while in 2012 the average scores are 57%, 94%, and 60% for technical, pure technical, and scale efficiency. Factors having significantly positive impact on several measures of efficiency are incentive and dummy variables (agriculture inputs and hand tractor). Accounts receivable only has positive relationship to pure technical efficiency. On the other hand, rice milling unit and electricity services have negative impact with several measures of efficiency.

The sustainable social enterprises (SEs) literature shows that SEs have to simultaneously pursue economic, social, and environmental aims. However, tensions between these objectives can make this a challenging task and lead towards mission drift. This work investigates if the cultural dimension can forecast the mission drift. We empirically analyze this relationship in three stages. In the first stage, we identify a homogeneous dataset of 287 sustainable SEs from seven EU countries from 2011 to 2020. Then, in the second stage, we apply the data envelopment analysis (DEA) methodology to calculate the efficiency of the SEs. An efficient SE has to simultaneously achieve social, environmental, and economic aims. We calculate a proxy of the mission drift and generate a dichotomous category variable that assigns value 1 to the SE not affected by mission drift, 0 otherwise. In the last stage, we implement the 2SLS logistic regression between the variable that identifies the SEs affected by mission drift and three cultural dimensions: avoidance of uncertainty, masculinity, and short‐term orientation.
