Abstract(s)

With the downturn in the global socioeconomic panorama, the social entrepreneurship orientation (SEO) and the social performance of non-proft organizations (NPOs) have become subject to growing levels of attention. The objective of this study is to analyze the infuence of SEO on the performance of NPOs. To this end, we deployed a quantitative methodology based on the application of a survey of NPOs, which received a total of 135 valid responses. Our results demonstrate a positive efect for the dimensions of social innovation and social proactivity even while reporting no efect for the acceptance of social risks on performance. These results hold important implications across two diferent levels: in terms of the NPOs and policy-makers.
