Revisiting the political-social dimension of public value
Abstract
Public value research increasingly recognizes that societal value is generated by public, private, philanthropic, and hybrid actors. However, empirical tools for identifying public value beyond the state remain underdeveloped, particularly regarding its political-social dimension. This study operationalizes this dimension by identifying and analytically defining eight constituent elements. It draws on a multiple case study of three Brazilian social enterprises, combining document analysis, field visits, and semi-structured interviews. Findings clarify the dimension’s components and demonstrate how they can be identified in organizational practices and relationships. The study advances empirical approaches to public value and extends research to non-state actors in a non-European context.

重新审视公共价值的政治—社会维度
摘要
公共价值研究日益认识到，社会价值是由公共、私人、慈善和混合型行动者共同创造的。然而，用于识别国家之外公共价值的实证工具仍不发达，尤其是在其政治—社会维度方面。本研究通过识别并分析性界定八个构成要素，将这一维度操作化。研究基于对三家巴西社会企业的多案例研究，结合文件分析、实地走访和半结构化访谈。研究发现阐明了该维度的构成要素，并展示了如何在组织实践和关系中识别这些要素。该研究推进了公共价值的实证研究方法，并将研究扩展到非欧洲背景下的非国家行动者。
