“…Some findings also indicate that a stimulating work environment improves the well-being of each worker. This confirms the findings of previous research, which shows that quality decision-making is the most relevant aspect of perceived procedural fairness (Depedri et al, 2010). In the Trentino region, research conducted among various businesses indicates that employment in cooperative enterprises increases the social trust of workers by 47.5% relative to employment in public enterprises or 36.9% relative to employment in private enterprises (Sabatini, Modena and Tortia, 2012).…”

“…Previously outlined research (see section 3) has shown that people are motivated and encouraged to act by stimuli other than just salary; they are motivated by social approval, a sense of equity, autonomy and other non-monetary aspects of work. Job satisfaction results from the feeling that the work one is doing reflects their values and offers a sense of purpose (Depedri et al, 2010).

“…The presence of non-material aspects of job satisfaction has in particular been examined in Italy.

Some findings also indicate that a stimulating work environment improves the well-being of each worker.…”

This paper aims to examine the motivations, values, and job satisfaction among the people employed in the sector of social entrepreneurship that were obtained through a qualitative study of ten Croatian social cooperatives. In our analysis, we interpreted the experiences of working in a social enterprise from the employee perspective. Our findings suggest that the participants/employees of social enterprises favour intrinsic motivation and values related to their jobs, that they describe their working conditions in social enterprises positively, and that they share a perceived increase in the quality of life since having started working at a social enterprise. The described relations between motivation, job experiences, and participatory management allowed us to build upon and extend the existing body of research on motivation and job satisfaction in the social economy sector.

Acommonsituation in the analysis of latent constructs is the availability of external information about the data which could affect themodel parameters’ estimation. In this paper a procedure for isolating these information based on the orthogonal projectors in the frame of second order PLS-PM is presented. An application to a case study in the field of the measurement of the subjective quality of work will show the way of functioning and the results obtained from the proposed procedure
