Connecting Social Enterprises and Sustainable Consumption: Systematic Review, Bibliometric Analysis, and Conceptual Framework
[Abstract]: The purpose of this study is to explore the meeting point between social enterprises
(SEs) and sustainable consumption, given the proven potential of these hybrid organizations in the
achievement of sustainable development. Paradoxically, scholarly attention has been scarce to this
field of research, particularly from the perspectives of SE products and (potential) customers. Aiming
to shed some light, a systematic literature review was conducted, resulting in 24 scientific publications
descriptively and thematically explored based on a bibliometric analysis. The findings show that
the link between SEs and sustainable consumption is very recent and that empirical articles using
quantitative methodologies prevail focused on the analysis of capabilities and performances of SEs
aiming to positively influence customers’ response. Nevertheless, the attention to the identification
of product attributes and the individual determinants effective enough to press the buy button is
still limited. In response to this shortcoming, the originality of this study consists of assembling
the findings in this regard into an integrated conceptual framework that paves the way for future
analysis in this field of studyMICINN National Project CO-CRESEO ; PID2019-109580RB-I00/AEI/10.13039/
