Abstract: The literature on social enterprises has largely examined tradeoffs at the organizational level. In this paper, we look at tradeoffs at the employee level. By analyzing the case of an Ecuadorian microfinance institution, we show that tenure of social enterprise employees affects individual social and financial performances differently: the relationship between tenure and social performance is a positive one, whereas that between tenure and financial performance is an inverted U-shaped one. Furthermore, our results suggest that social enterprise employees with the longest tenure are the least inclined to experience tradeoff tensions.
