Abstract

Social entrepreneurs’ behaviour and performance are critical for social enterprises’ success, along with the actors’ affective commitment, work engagement and personal values, as conceptualised by Schwartz’s value theory. This study is set to explore the interrelationships among these variables collecting quantitative data from 226 Greek social entrepreneurs. Seven research hypotheses are tested offering evidence in support of the influence of affective commitment and work engagement on entrepreneurs’ performance, while considering affective commitment as precursor of work engagement. Further, evidence is placed for the effect of the higher-order values of Self-Transcendence, Openness to Change, and Conservation on the above variable relationships.
