description The purpose of the research is to investigate the relationship between psychological capital attributes and social performance and explore the impact of civic network participation on the relationship between psychological capital (efficacy, optimism, hope, resilience) and social performance. For this, depending on psychological capital, this study pays attention to the interaction effect of social entrepreneurs’ psychological capital and civic engagement on their social ventures’ performance. In the Korean context, social enterprises have another function to provide jobs and increase employment rates in low economic growth and economic inequality. Given this situation, researchers must investigate what psychological capitals of social entrepreneurs are helpful to obtain better social performance and civic engagement may have moderating effects on the relationship between the psychological capitals of social entrepreneurs and the social performance of social ventures. In the results, first, social entrepreneurs’ optimism and hope are positively related to the social performance of their social ventures. Second, civic engagement by social engagement enhances the positive relationship between hope in social entrepreneurs’ psychological capital and their social venture’s social performance.
