Thailand's tourism industry contributed to over three trillion baht in 2019. Tourist attractions across Thailand attract tourists around the world with their natural scenery, lifestyles, and cultures, especially in those called "second-tier cities". Community enterprises play a vital role to drive the tourism industry to local areas. However, most community enterprises lack professional accounting knowledge. This research aims to provide guidelines for ecotourism cost management of community enterprises in Thailand. Participatory Action Research (PAR) was employed to investigate the current circumstances of the Banlaem enterprise by using in-depth interviews to identify problems in cost management. Then, the focus and small group meetings were organized to monitor and evaluate solutions. The results reveal that the cost of VIP-Two Days trip was generating the highest net profit and margin, followed by VIP-One Day trip, but net losses were detected on the Students-One Day trip, even though income was greater than the variable costs, revenues didn't cover fixed costs. Thus, accounting knowledge could be a major concern of these enterprises. They should systematically record revenues and expenses, set appropriate labor costs, reduce production costs by using seasonal seafood and make use of vegetables in their gardens, and price products according to their production costs.

마을기업은 지역사회와 지역경제를 활성화하기 위한 공익성과 수익성을 동시에 추구하는 사업방식이면서 지역주민이 주체가 되어 지역자원을 활용하는 공동체 회복을 위한 대안적 노력의 한 형태이다. 이처럼 사회적 가치를 지향하면서도 영리기업의 특성을 함께 가진 마을기업은 자신의 삶에 대한 궁극적인 의미를 가지고, 마을기업의 일을 통해 삶의 의미와 목적을 찾으며, 동료들과 함께 있다는 심리적 정서 즉 공동체 의식이 마을기업에서 중요하다. 이러한 일터에서의 영성은 일반기업에서도 중요하지만 사회적 가치를 가지고 지역과 사회의 문제를 해결하는 목적으로 지역의 공동체를 형성하여, 비즈니스 형태로 해결하려는 마을기업에서도 중요하다 할 수 있다. 오늘날 급격한 경영환경의 변화와 사회적 역동성의 중심에서 개인과 조직의 문제 해결 방법을 제공해 줄 수 있는 대안 중의 하나가 일터영성이다. 일터영성은 만족, 몰입, 헌신, 조직시민행동에 이로울 뿐 아니라, 조직의 성과에 긍정적인 영향력을 발휘한다. 대부분 일반기업을 대상으로 이루어진 기존 일터영성 연구에서 연구 범위와 대상을 확대하여 마을기업에서의 일터영성 효과를 실증 분석하여 마을기업의 발전에 기여코자 한다. 분석결과, 마을기업과 일반기업 모두 동일하게 일터영성은 직무만족, 조직시민행동에 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 직무만족은 조직시민행동에 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 그리고 직무만족은 일터영성과 조직시민행동 간의 관계를 매개하였다. 또한, 마을기업에서의 일터영성은 일반기업과 차이가 있었는데, 마을기업에서 일터영성의 계수와 영향력이 더 높게 나타났다. 일터영성이 영리를 우선으로 추구하는 일반 기업에서도 중요하지만 마을기업에 더 중요하다 할 수 있다. 마을기업을 통한 일의 소명의식, 자신에 대한 내면의식, 타인에 대한 공감의식, 조직에 대한 공동체 의식, 자신을 넘어서는 초월의식인 일터영성은 마을기업 내 촉진되고 정착될 필요성이 있다.
