众所周知，社会企业作为混合型组织面临着两难境地，在这种形式下，它们努力平衡商业可行性和社会使命的实现，信仰型社会企业还有一个额外的维度：它们的灵性表现为基于精神价值观和传播信仰的使命的组织文化和实践。通过采用批判现实主义的制度逻辑和基于身份和传记的方法来社会企业家精神，本研究确定了柬埔寨基督教社会企业的不同混合形式的类型学以及与之相关的紧张局势。此外，本研究探讨了他们的社会企业家如何以及为什么创造和维持这种形式。我分析了12个基督教社会企业的定性数据，主要是从他们的企业家访谈。从广义上讲，分析表明，这些企业的混合形式取决于企业家的代理人，而企业家的代理人又受到企业家个人经历和背景的影响。特别是，除了企业家拥有和制定多重身份之外，董事会（作为背景的一部分）及其问责压力对于基督教社会企业实现商业可行性，社会使命和精神成果的三重底线至关重要。
On top of the well-known dilemma of social enterprises as hybrid organizations, the form in which they struggle to balance business viability and the fulfillment of social missions, faith-based social enterprises have an added dimension: their spirituality manifested as organizational culture and practices based on their spiritual values and mission to spread their faith. By employing critical realist institutional logics and an identity-based and biographical approach to social entrepreneurship, this study identifies a typology of different hybrid forms of Christian social enterprises in Cambodia and the tensions associated with them. Moreover, this study explores how and why their social entrepreneurs have created and sustained such forms. I analyzed the qualitative data of 12 Christian social enterprises mainly from interviews with their entrepreneurs. Broadly speaking, the analysis revealed that the hybrid forms of these enterprises depend on the entrepreneurs’ agency, which is influenced by their biographies and contexts. Particularly, in addition to the entrepreneurs’ possession and enactment of multiple identities, boards of directors (as part of the context) and their accountability pressures are crucial for Christian social enterprises to achieve the triple bottom line of business viability, social missions, and spiritual outcomes.
