The Mechanism Of Community-based Social Enterprises To Reconstruct Social Capita

Social enterprises are enterprises whose mission is to solve social problems instead of pursuing maximum benefits.In recent years,social enterprises have played an important role in the fields of providing for the aged,employment of the disabled,protection of vulnerable groups,poverty alleviation and community governance.As a special type of social enterprise,community-based social enterprise refers to "a social enterprise born in the community,based on the needs of the community,serving the interests of the community,and committed to solving the problems of community governance".Community-based social enterprises have the characteristics of endogenous community and have the function of participating in community governance.During the COVID-19 pandemic,as a grass-roots governance unit,the importance of community is self-evident.The effect of community governance directly affects the speed at which community lifts lockdown and the results of epidemic prevention and control.Community governance has become a widespread concern of the public under the background of epidemic situation.The emergence of community-based social enterprises provides new ideas and schemes to solve the problem of community governance.In the process of urbanization in China,there are more and more demolition and reorganization communities and transitional communities.Most of the residents of these communities are resettled in a community due to village demolition.Due to the destruction of the original village structure,interpersonal relations and social networks to varying degrees,new trust,institutional norms and social networks have not been established,This has led to some difficulties in community governance.The governance of these communities has become a difficult problem perplexing China’s grass-roots governance.The problems caused by the lack of community social capital and imperfect community governance,such as the low quality of community public services,the weak awareness of residents’ participation in community governance,the unclear division of rights and responsibilities of community governance subjects,and the difficulty in implementing rules and regulations in the community,have become more and more prominent.Chengdu took the lead in carrying out community governance by using the new organizational form of social enterprises in the country,and community-based social enterprises came into being.This study took five-star Qiyang Community Service Co.,Ltd.as the research object,and used the grounded theory to study the function mechanism of community-based social enterprises in reconstructing community social capital.The first chapter mainly introduced the background,purpose and significance of the study,and defined the related concepts.The second chapter analyzed the theories that may be used by combing the literature,and put forward the research framework and ideas of this paper,specifically: this paper reviewed the research direction and research progress of social enterprises,studied the classification of social enterprises,and reviewed the research of community social enterprises.This paper also analyzed the social capital theory and examined whether patnan’s social capital theory is applicable to China’s community governance.And this paper studied the theory of cross sectoral collaboration and read the case study of social enterprises participating in cross sectoral collaboration.The third and fourth chapters are the research design and case study process respectively.We collected rich first-hand information through open-ended or semi-structured interviews with residents of five-star community,neighborhood committees and heads of Publicity Department of five-star Qiyang Community Service Co.,Ltd.At the same time,We Chat Official Account,news reports of newspapers and periodicals,How Net papers and other channels are used to collect reliable second-hand data.Then,through the grounded theoretical research process of open coding,spindle coding,selective coding and saturation test,a total of16 sub categories,5 main categories and 2 core categories are established.The five main categories are: "lack of community social capital","cultivation of tripartite mutual trust","construction of diversified collaborative governance","development of community organizations" and "redistribution of community interests".Finally,it included two core categories,namely "lack of social capital" and "reconstruction of social capital",and then constructed a theoretical framework and explained the relationship between categories.The fifth chapter expounded the contribution and deficiency of this study,and put forward policy suggestions.The conclusions of this paper are as follows: community-based social enterprises have a contradiction reconciliation mechanism,and realize the reconstruction of trust by cultivating the tripartite mutual trust among residents,neighborhood committees and social enterprises;Community-based social enterprises give full play to the intermediary platform mechanism,through participating in cross departmental coordination,build diversified collaborative governance,realize the redistribution of community interests,and reformulate the missing system and norms;Communitybased social enterprises also have the function of organizational reconstruction.Through the development of community organizations,they can reorganize the originally fragmented community social network.This is the mechanism of community-based social enterprises to reconstruct social capital.The innovation of this paper is to study the mechanism of social enterprises participating in community governance from the perspective of community social capital reconstruction,which has important theoretical and practical value.The deficiency of this paper is that it is difficult to quantitatively evaluate the effect of community social capital reconstruction,and there is a lack of horizontal comparison of social enterprises embedded in the community from the outside.
