Abstract

The goal of this research is to identify and describe the distinguishing elements of an organization that contributes to social transformation. Seeking to understand the relationship between its purpose and its organizational model, as well as between the purpose of the organization and the well-being of the people who constitute it.

Presented as the case study of Impact Hub Donostia S. Coop, this work has been carried out following the inductive method, with the aim of constructing a faithful narrative to the reality experienced by the people who are part of it –without being conditioned by a previous theoretical framework–. For this matter, six categories defining the organizational model of the cooperative have been obtained and framed in the theoretical context deduced from the empirical results. Concluding that the alignment of people’s individual purpose with the purpose of the organization, as well as the collective wisdom achieved through a level of group consciousness, are key elements to move towards organizational models that respond more effectively to people’s needs.
