In order for social enterprises to secure self-sufficiency and maintain sustainability, the role of government subsidies for social enterprises is important. This study examined whether there is a difference in the degree of sustainability of social enterprises based on whether or not they are supported by government subsidies. An analysis was conducted on whether there was a difference in the degree of sustainability of the social enterprise based on the type of social enterprise.
The empirical analysis results of this study are as follows:
First, it was found that government-supported social enterprises are statistically more significant than not-supported enterprises and have a greater degree of social enterprise sustainability. In addition, among government-supported enterprises, enterprises that received direct support have greater sustainability than those that have not been supported. Furthermore, it was found that the type of job provision among government-supported social enterprises is not statistically significant but has a greater degree of social enterprise sustainability than other types of enterprises.
Social enterprises are highly dependent on the use of government subsidies to carry out business activities, and this study believes that stable government subsidies is still a necessary government support policy for social enterprises to grow into sustainable organizations.
