Description

ABSTRACT The paper argues that entrepreneurship in an existing organization (intrapreneurship) is the outcome of the interlocking entrepreneurial activities of multiple participants, entrepreneurship is distributed throughout a structure, not mainly the strategic apex, and appropriate organizational settings are required to promote entrepreneurial behavior among organization members. The paper distinguishes among three types/roles of intrapreneurship in the nonprofit sector: social/human service, fund raising, and venture. A set of research questions is tested empirically to assess organizations' environment in fostering entrepreneurship. Survey result (219 nonprofit managers) shows that nonprofits are likely to develop organizational characteristic attributes of entrepreneurship and that certain organizational characteristics are associated with intrapreneurial behavior as measured by organization members' risk-propensity. Also, the result shows that aspects of organizational culture and management style (more controllable factors) seem to have more influence than the organizational structure and resource aspects (less controllable). Nonprofit managers are advised to establish organizational culture and context of receptive conditions for new ideas and the possibility of failure. This study fills a research gap of how nonprofit organizational characteristics foster entrepreneurship or retard it.
