<![CDATA[This study investigated how BUMDes Sambimulyo operates as a rural social enterprise under conditions of resource scarcity and examined how bricolage practices contribute to organizational sustainability and community welfare. Despite the growing literature on entrepreneurial bricolage, limited empirical evidence explains how bricolage operates within hybrid public-community enterprises in developing-country rural contexts. Using a qualitative case study based on in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, the study identified three interrelated forms of bricolage: material, human, and institutional bricolage. The findings unveiled that these practices have been manifested through the creative use of existing village resources, the recombination of underutilized assets for new functions, adaptive experimentation in daily operations, the transformation of resource limitations into opportunities for innovation, and the proactive mobilization of institutional and community networks. Collectively, these bricolage practices have strengthened organizational resilience by increasing village revenue, creating employment opportunities, expanding community participation, and enhancing local welfare. The study extends entrepreneurial bricolage theory by demonstrating that adaptive resource mobilization within village-owned enterprises was collectively embedded in hybrid public-community governance rather than driven solely by individual entrepreneurial action.]]>
