Abstract
It is commonly assumed that Social Enterprises (SEs) are able to meet social outcomes and also be financially viable, however, little research supports this claim. Using hybrid organizing as a lens to analyse case study interview data from ten SEs delivering adult day care services, we identify three factors which affect a SEs ability to simultaneously achieve social outcomes and financial sustainability and thus create value-spillovers for society. These are: diverse income streams to strengthen financial viability and reduce reliance on service-level agreements and grants; delivering social quality (quality of social impact) as well as service quality, and a hybrid workforce.
