Abstract | Various countries across the East Asian region have witnessed the rapid
proliferation of Work
Integration Social Enterprises (WISEs) in the recent decade. Drawing from
qualitative interviews with a sample of disadvantaged employees and
middle managers currently working in WISEs in Hong Kong, we examined
what working in a WISE meant for disadvantaged employees; and how such work differs from traditional service delivery
organizations or other employment support schemes such as quota
systems. Three emergent themes, namely
Meaningful engagement, Individual Empowerment, and Relational-based
empowerment, were identified as critical outcomes for participants.
Discussion pertaining to the role of social enterprise in the production of
welfare and practice implications for social enterprises are presented. |
