The effect on economic development of creative class versus human capital
The creative class thesis considers the creative class, compared to human capital, as a better driver of regional economic development. We test this thesis for Germany. We measure creative class and human capital by occupation and education, respectively using classification codes from The Sample of Integrated Labor Market Biographies (SIAB), and proxy regional economic development by per capita income and employment. Our panel estimation results…
Governing cooperatives in the context of individual motives
Purpose This study aims to examine the relationships between the rules that a cooperative membership decides upon and members' motives for action. It considers individual self-interest in relation with motives that are consistent with the values of cooperation. Design/methodology/approach This paper comprises two parts. The first is theoretical and discusses cooperative governance's features in the context of individual motives. The second part i…
Co‐operative enterprise anti‐cyclicality and the economic crisis
The theoretical and empirical literature reports that worker co‐operatives protect employment better than investor‐owned firms (IOFs) do, especially during economic downturns. This paper introduces the new hypothesis that not only worker co‐operatives but all co‐operative types (e.g. worker, producer, consumer, credit) protect employment better than IOFs do because they all satisfy their members’ needs—instead of maximizing shareholder value—by d…
Why are social enterprises good candidates for social innovation? Looking for personal and institutional drivers of innovation
The last few years witnessed theoretical and practical contributions to the field of social innovation and social enterprise. However, analysis of the interplay between these two different realms is still limited. This article aims to fill some gaps in this respect. We deal with historical reconstruction of the concept of Social Enterprise and Social Innovation, and their conceptual premises. We consider the process of creation of social innovati…
The ‘protective function’ of social enterprises
We study the problem of the renewal of workers’ intrinsic and pro-social motivations in democratic work settings, as found in Italian social enterprises, organizations in the social economy that deliver social and welfare services. Building upon institutional, system, and management theory we hypothesize that social enterprises value and protect pro-social motivations as crucial resources. Specifically, hypothesis-testing examines the effect of t…

The Institutions of Livelihood and Social Enterprise Systems
The Extended Governance of Cooperative Firms
This work aims at providing a framework for the analysis of governance in networks of cooperative firms. It builds on four bodies of literature: cooperation, transaction costs, monopoly capitalism, production networks. The framework associates the specific principles that define the identity of cooperative organizations (self-help, member ownership, democratic control, financial participation, limited capital remuneration) alongside more general …
Do cooperative enterprises create social trust
Productivity, wages and intrinsic motivations
Worker Motivations, Job Satisfaction, and Loyalty in Public and Nonprofit Social Services
Exploiting a unique data set created in 1999 on a sample of 228 public, nonprofit, and for-profit organizations operating in the social service sector, and on 2,066 workers, the article tests whether workers’ satisfaction and loyalty to the organization is influenced by workers’ motivations and by the incentive mixes offered by different organizational forms. As for satisfaction, intrinsic and relational attitudes toward work exert the greatest i…
