Title: Results from Fieldwork: Relevant Data for the Accountability of Private Institutions of Social Solidarity
Abstract: A fascinating alternative for addressing social issues is the social economy (SE). There are, however, some issues with these institutions’ capacity for accountability. The purpose of the current research was to ascertain whether private social solidarity institutions (IPSS) are ready to increase their accountability in order to meet management requirements. IPSS are social economy businesses in Portugal. We conducted qualitative research on 31 Portuguese IPSS using an exploratory focus. Inquiries with those in charge of these organizations were conducted between June and July 2019. A semistructured script developed using the results of a literature review served as the basis for the interviews. After conducting a content analysis, it was discovered that, despite acknowledging the value of doing so, the board of directors in the majority of the institutions whose members were questioned does not utilize management tools like performance analysis, social impact assessments, strategic planning, and quality management systems. This is a result of a lack of access to or understanding of their application. Additionally, the vast majority of IPSS participants who were questioned expressed concern regarding the honesty and morals of managers. Current strategic management techniques are particularly geared toward for-profit businesses and can jeopardize the values of investing in social and human issues.
