| Abstract: | This study's critical analysis of popular autobiographies of social entrepreneurs provides insight into how marketization forces are shaping the construction of meaningful work within the US nonprofit context. Findings illustrate that although popular portrayals of social entrepreneurship offer a compelling vision of meaningful work centered on solving pressing social problems, they also celebrate a troubling account of work/life balance centered on self-sacrifice, underpaid and unpaid labour and the privileging of organizational commitment at the expense of health, family and other aspects of social reproduction. |
