社会影响措施没有得到广泛认同，也没有被第三部门组织实施。社会影响的中观指标不发达。金融化的方法，如社会投资回报率，只能说明确定的项目和活动的直接结果。任何此类活动的更广泛的社会影响都被低估了。本文概述了一个接地的理论方法的发现，以确定一个大型澳大利亚标志性的第三部门组织内的社会影响的措施。本研究揭示了几个关键因素，讨论了它们将社会影响归因于项目特定结果之外的组织活动的潜力。基于这些发现，本文得出结论，开发一种工具来衡量第三部门组织的中观社会影响是可以实现的。
Social impact measures are not widely agreed, nor implemented by third sector organisations. Meso level indicators of social impact are underdeveloped. Financialised methods such as Social Return on Investment can only account for direct outcomes of defined programs and activities. The broader societal impacts of any such activities are undervalued. This paper outlines the findings of a grounded theoretical approach to determining measures of social impact within a large Australian iconic third sector organisation. Several key factors revealed in this study are discussed in regards to their potential for attributing social impact to organisational activities outside of a program specific outcome. Based on these findings the paper concludes that the development of a tool to measure meso level organisational social impact of third sector organisations may be attainable.
