社会企业等非国家行为体在解决撒哈拉以南非洲地区紧迫的社会需求方面的影响力越来越大。将责任从国家转移到私营企业家需要更好地了解个人如何在严重贫困的背景下实现其社会使命，并且信任和集体规范等非正式制度是强有力的治理机制。这项研究认识到领导者热情是赢得人们对社会企业领导者和社会使命信任的关键因素。定性数据收集了尼日利亚社会企业在健康、妇女权利、儿童权利、艾滋病/艾滋病毒护理和教育以及可持续发展等领域的 37 名领导人。作者根据 100 次半结构化访谈，开发了一个归纳模型，说明领导者热情如何与社会企业组织和成果相互关联。
Nonstate actors such as social enterprises are increasingly influential for addressing pressing social needs in sub-Saharan Africa. Moving responsibility from the state to private entrepreneurs calls for a greater understanding of how single individuals achieve their social mission in a context characterized by acute poverty and where informal institutions, such as trust and collective norms, are strong governance mechanisms. This study recognizes the role of leader passion as a key element for gaining people’s trust in the social enterprise leader and the social mission. Qualitative data were collected on 37 leaders of Nigerian social enterprises in arenas such as health, women’s rights, children’s rights, AIDS/HIV care and education, and sustainable development. Drawing on 100 semistructured interviews, the authors develop an inductive model illustrating how leader passion interrelates with the social enterprise organizing and outcomes.
