The Evaluation Model on an Application of SROI for Sustainable Social Enterprises

The evaluation of social enterprises has been criticized for not being able to reflect the positive social aspects of the company through the financial evaluation. SROI (Social Return on Investment) is a social concept applied to the measurement of economic return on investment that aims to measure the social added value of social enterprises and reflect them in their performance. It is necessary to research for the provision of support and management for sustainable social enterprises, and to prepare a method for evaluating social enterprise by applying SROI. The Delphi 1st and 2nd surveys for the development of evaluation model for social enterprises using SROI were conducted by 50 social enterprise CEOs and experts. To produce the results of this study, the SPSS 20.0, AMOS 24 and Expert Choice 11 programs were used and the pairwise comparison analysis method was performed to analyze importance and priority. The results of the Delphi and AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) analysis showed that employment was the most important factor in social enterprises with the highest share of newly hired personnel. Employment-type social enterprises have the highest priority in terms of employment, income (income increase for vulnerable workers), and community contribution (affordable of social services), while the social service type was in order of employment, community contribution, and income (income increase for the vulnerable workers). On the other hand, the mixed type was employment (newly hired personnel), income (income increase of vulnerable workers), employment (social work participants’ switch to similar work after contract expiration), and community contribution (affordable of social services). This study makes efforts to form social capital by raising the public’s awareness of social value with efficient management through various evaluations of social enterprises and the emergence of various social enterprises. This study also emphasizes the need to better understand social enterprises as a multi-scholar and multi-dimensional organization that includes a multi-faced mechanism of social, economic, and environmental community development, away from understanding social enterprises as a specific business model.

Impacts of travellers' social awareness on the intention of bus usage

The literature on psychological studies includes numerous documented efforts to explain traveller behaviour under the pro-environmental approach. However, this approach was found to perform weakly compared to the self-interest approach. A review of the pro-environmental approach showed that the existing pro-environmental models generally discussed travellers' mode-use obligation under a narrow background of environmental awareness. This would probably lead to results showing no difference in mode-use obligation between private vehicles, which have environmental concerns, and public vehicles, which have both social and environmental concerns. In addition, findings of non-mode-choice studies have suggested that awareness of social value would likely be involved in deciding pro-environmental behaviour. As such, it was suggested that social-awareness factors may influence travellers' obligations to transportation modes. However, it was surprising that the literature on mode-use behaviour showed few efforts aimed at the impacts of social-awareness factors on travellers' mode-use behaviour. This study, therefore, provided an examination of the necessity of expanding travellers' mode-use obligations towards social-awareness aspect by considering various social awareness factors in the mode-use model. Empirical results from 333 respondents in Hidaka City, Japan, showed support for the expansion of the travellers' obligations through observation of novel social-awareness factors, including social-awareness of consequences and perceived service interruption, as predictors of bus use intention.

Från aggression mot konstruktivt beteende

SUMMARYVarious theories of aggression and their implications to the possibilities and ways to control aggressive behaviour are shortly reviewed. The author is in favour of the social learning theory but lays a strong emphasis on cognitive aspects in the control of aggression. She appraizes critically the applications of the reinforcement-paradigm to the regulation of aggression and considers cognitive clarification as an important condition of teaching constructive behaviour. Cognitive clarification increases the feelings of empathy and awareness of social values as well as of behaviours in accordance with them. A simulation method developed by the author for group guidance towards constructive behaviour is described. It consists of exercises in creative problem solving, an analysis of series of slides on conflict situations, and of role playing. The ethical problems of behaviour modification are discussed with the conclusion that if the aim of the training is to increase awareness of behavioural alternat...
