AbstractVarious 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.
