Resultado económico y de empleo en las organizaciones sociales de origen familiar

Social enterprises are a tool to correct socioeconomic imbalances in modern welfare states. In the European context, they are responsible for the creation of economic growth, social impact and employment. These organizations can have different origins based on the cultural tradition and the evolution of each country. In the Spanish context, the majority of social enterprises are created by families, although the influence of these families in the interaction between economic result and social impact has not been studied yet. For this reason, the aim of this paper is double. Firstly, we study the relationship between the economic result and the level of employment, as indicator of social impact. Secondly, we analyze possible differences in this interaction taking into account the profit-making nature of the family structure. Both aims enable us to identify possible behaviors of social enterprise in this specific context. In our study, we evidence the development of a similar behavior from for-profit and nonprofit legal forms.
