Abstract

This research is interested in studying the role of some organizational and individual determinants in increasing employees' intrapreneurship behaviors. It also focuses on investigating the favorable situations upon which those determinants could enhance intrapreneurship behaviors. Specifically, the study investigates the effect of organizational climate for psychological safety, psychological ownership, achievement motivation, and big five personality traits on employees' risk taking, proactiveness and innovativeness behaviors. Furtheremore, it tests the moderating role of transformational leadership in strengthening the above direct relationships. Using both of on-line and handled questionnaires, in addition of using hierarchical regression analysis, on a convenient sample of 495 employees working in different private sectors in Alexandria, the results came to full and partial supports of most of thestudy hypotheses, while rejecting others. The findings revealed significant positive effects of organizational climate for psychological safety, psychological ownership, achievement motivation, extraversion, emotional stability, conscientiousness, and agreeableness on intrapreneurship behaviors, while an unexpected negative relationship between openness to experience and those behaviors was revealed. Importantly, transformational leadership played the interactive role with most of those determinants in enhancing employees' intrapreneurship behaviors.
