“…At the same time, purchasers tend to impose their own priorities on partners that receive funding from them (Jones 2019). They may, for instance, resort to work integration enterprises with the intention of preparing users for a rapid transition to poor-quality jobs or for inculcating behavioural habits, such as professional appearance and punctuality at a workplace -whereas many non-profits in this field pursue more ambitious projects (Aiken and Bode 2009;Sama 2017;Bandini et al 2021). Caseworkers in private firms may feel compelled to contribute to profit-making while simultaneously being bound to work (re-)integration targets.…”

“…When a public enterprise seeks to achieve social value by understanding its publicness from a public value perspective, the nature of a public enterprise becomes closer to that of a social enterprise, which is at the crossroads of the market, public policies and civil society (Nyssens, 2007). A social enterprise, the primary purpose of which is to pursue social goals and to generate benefits for the society, interprets social value as public value (Bandini et al, 2020). Bandini et al (2020) also point out that a social enterprise is required to combine two very different objectives of social and financial objectives in fundamental ways.…”

Numerous scholars have noted social issues such as inequality and insufficient social capital as limitations of efficiency-oriented neoliberal development strategies. In this context, the Moon Jae-in administration in South Korea declared social value as the core value of the state. Therefore, public institutions are required to prioritize social value. Beyond ideological discussions, these social and policy changes suggest the need for concrete discussions on how to practically realize social value. Public institutions have strengthened their social responsibility, contributing to local communities and low-income groups. However, companies often consider social responsibility a cost, which impedes growth. As public enterprises, a type of public institution, have the characteristics of a company, their inherent goals of profitability or entrepreneurship may be limited by enhancing publicness to realize social value. Therefore, public enterprises face the challenge of realizing social value in a way that benefits both society and business. To devise measures to realize social value by strengthening publicness while ensuring profitability, this study focuses on Creating Shared Value (CSV), which benefits both companies and society. Publicness and profitability, two values that public enterprises pursue, are discussed, and Corporate Social Responsiblilty (CSR) is compared with the CSV perspective, which aims to benefit both. This study devises measures from the CSV perspective for realizing social value in the Korea Expressway Corporation, a public enterprise. Implications for other public enterprises are highlighted. Points for practitioners As the need for public institutions to solve social issues has increased, public enterprises face the challenge of realizing social value while ensuring profitability. In this context, this study took the CSV approach and conducted a case study on the Korea Expressway Corporation to present plans for public enterprises to create social value by fulfilling their purpose. By suggesting a process and detailed projects from the CSV perspective, this study will help practitioners to create social value tailored to the characteristics of each public enterprise.

“…In academia, cooperatives have become a significant focus, with research areas that include governance structures (Borgstro ¨m, 2013;Puusa & Saastamoinen, 2023), economic sustainability (Bandini et al, 2021;Borzaga et al, 2021), social impacts and welfare (Sabatini et al, 2014;Testi et al, 2017). The significance of cooperatives in economic and societal development, as well as their member-driven structure and ownership, position them at a crossroads (Pansera & Rizzi, 2020), navigating between two contrasting paradigms (Cornforth, 1995).…”

This study explores the dynamics of cooperatives, with a focus on the internal challenges associated with sustaining democratic governance and promoting active member participation. The emphasis is on individual-level participation within the workplace, an often-neglected aspect in cooperative literature. An empirical model examines how member loyalty influences constructive and destructive voice behaviours. Leader–member exchange (LMX) relationship and integrative mechanisms are the proposed mediators in this context. Analysing data from 301 members of 19 worker cooperatives in Italy revealed different mediating effects through LMX, integrative mechanisms and a combined sequence. These findings enrich the cooperative literature by highlighting the importance of loyalty and voice behaviours in regenerating cooperative principles and member participation. The study also underscores the role of interpersonal relationships in affecting operational processes and explaining members’ loyalty and participation dynamics, proposing suggestions for cooperative management upholding democratic governance rooted in trust-based relationships, organic organisational models and mutual values.
