| description | The study investigated the impact of personality traits on intrapreneurial behavior.
Data was collected from 306 employees working in higher education institutions. Structural
equation modeling technique was utilized with the help of SmartPLS software. The findings of
the study revealed a positive association of extroversion, openness to experiences and emotional
stability with intrapreneurial behavior, while a negative impact of conscientiousness,
agreeableness on intrapreneurial behavior was recorded. The findings of this study have several
implications in the context of HEIs. To enhance the intrapreneurial behavior in the higher
educational institutes, the management of the institutions should take positive steps to ensure
that employees have personality traits which have shown a significant impact on the
intraprenuerial behavior in this study. One strategy top management could consider is that, at
the time of recruitment, preference should be given to candidates with higher levels of
extroversion, openness to experience and emotional stability. However, among all the traits, the
most indicative marker is extroversions followed by emotional stability. Therefore, hiring
employees with high levels of extroversion and emotional stability could facilitate more
intraprenuerial behavior, which ultimately, will help improve the performance of HEIs. This
study with its focus on the micro level foundations of intrapreneurial behavior is one of the first
studies in the domain of intrapreneurship. |
