“…The social performance of a SE is the result of its contribution, social value, and sense of duty, goals pursued by all SEs ( Luke et al, 2013 ). Although such enterprises must achieve both social and economic performance, they depend on government support ( Bae et al, 2018 ). SE reflects a range of public-interest achievements, including employing vulnerable groups, providing social services, improving the community’s quality of life, and facilitating community integration ( Brammer et al, 2006 ).…”

Social enterprises (SEs) are a new concept, integrating corporate profitability and social purposes. SEs seek to realize sustainable social values, rather than short-term profits. It is therefore important to study the factors that affect the sustainable management of SEs. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is known to improve corporate image and performance; it can also promote the sustainable development of companies. Innovation has been described as the driving force behind corporate growth and ultimate performance. This study aims to investigate whether CSR can affect sustainability through the economic and social performance of SEs. In addition, it attempts to verify the moderating role of innovativeness in the relationship between CSR and social enterprise (SE) performance. Using survey data from 226 employees of 204 SEs in Korea, we have empirically tested this conceptual framework. The results suggest that, while CSR can improve sustainability through economic and social performance, innovativeness has no moderating effect on the relationship between CSR and SE performance. This study enriches our understanding of the important role played by CSR in driving SE sustainability. It provides new insights into the mechanisms through which SEs can achieve sustainable development. It also contributes to the literature by emphasizing the need for innovation through technical support for SEs.

“…Therefore, SNA is an increasingly interdisciplinary field that focuses on a set of actors and the relationships that link them (Borgatti et al, 2009). The theory of social networks aims to explain the structure of relationships between social entities and how social structure influences other social phenomena, such as psychological well-being, reciprocal support and social capital, knowledge management, and financial risk-adjusted performance (Bae et al, 2018;Rossi et al, 2018).…”

“…Network centrality is the structural position most strongly linked to performance-related results (Carboni and Ehrlich, 2013). For Bae et al (2018), centrality can be defined as the power and influence of an actor within a network, where the actor is defined as an individual that has diverse connections with other people. Centrality indicators using SNA are considered important because they allow us to investigate the degree of network connectivity, as well as identify individuals with more and fewer interactions within the network (Alarcão and Neto, 2016).…”

This study aims to analyze the mediating role of psychological capital (PsyCap) in the relationship between network centrality and internal learning in teams. A questionnaire was administered to 480 undergraduate students to test this relationship. The results confirmed the positive relationship between network centrality and internal learning in teams, and a mediating role of PsyCap in the relationship between student network centrality and internal learning in teams. This study suggests that it is important to promote centrality in advice networks among undergraduate students. In addition, this study might raise awareness among students, teachers, and public policymakers about the need to promote a socially responsible environment in higher education institutions.

Mentorship of counselling for men who have sex with other men and gay youths is understudied. The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of how the Mentor Modelling Programme may increase the sexual health knowledge and practices of gay youths. As an expansion of a previous study with the application of the conceptual framework, this study mapped a sexual health promotion plan and the six-month-long Mentor Modelling Programme with the coordination of eight health and social care professionals and 40 gay youths. The researcher found positive and supportive feedback of how the Mentor Modelling Programme could increase sexual health knowledge, promote long-term relationships, and encourage referral of other vulnerable people. The results indicated two directions. The first solicited the perspectives of health and social care professionals and gay youths on how they would describe the relationship, application to, and experience of the Mentor Modelling Programme and second, assessed how this Mentor Modelling Programme influenced and changed the ideas and senses about counselling services and mentorship. This study reflected the current limited sexual promotion between traditional and inclusive sexual health materials. It further indicated the necessary concerns and areas of attention needed to upgrade the materials and host inclusive sexual health materials for both youths and adults in the communities.
