Chapter 9 in Managing Social Businesses, 2010, pp 142-156 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Goal of the chapter: There is a difference between an executive working for a profit organization and one working for a social business. In profit organizations there is the possibility to reduce the motivation of financial returns. In social businesses, executives as a rule earn much less than in profit organizations. Therefore, there is no financial backdoor. This chapter raises the question: What are the motivation tensions between social mission and market rationale? The reader learns about the elements of the motivation tension when acting between market and civil society possible misinterpretations and pathways for handling the tension.
