  abstract     = {{The social entrepreneurship literature increasingly acknowledges that the board of directors is of major importance in dealing with the specific tensions that social enterprises face. Using a team production perspective, we argue that the extent to which board members possess relevant knowledge about stakeholder groups, enhances the engagement of the board in counseling and decision-making (i.e. board service performance). Furthermore, we expect that such engagement is positively related to organizational performance, which is multifaceted, in line with the hybrid nature of social enterprises. Finally, we investigate the contingency factors under which board stakeholder knowledge relates to board service performance and subsequent organizational performance. Particularly, we claim that such knowledge is especially relevant in cases of strong behavioral integration among board members. Using a sample of Flemish social enterprises, we find that board stakeholder knowledge is positively related to board service performance. This relationship is further moderated by strong board behavioral integration, which is strengthening the relationship in cases of high stakeholder knowledge, but has a mitigating effect in cases of low stakeholder knowledge. Finally, while board service performance is positively related to the social goal of hiring disadvantaged people, it is not significantly related to financial performance.}},
