Resumen
Purpose: This study aims to examine the relationship between psychological empowerment and intrapreneurship at the Individual- Level.
Theoretical framework: This study proposes a model that integrates psychological empowerment and its dimensions (meaning, competence, self -determination, and impact) with intrapreneurship at the Individual- Level.
Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative research approach was adopted to test the research hypotheses. The data were collected by administrating a questionnaire to a sample of (450) employees in the private sector in Saudi Arabia.
Findings: The regression analysis results confirm that psychological empowerment and its attributes (meaning, competence, self -determination, and impact) are correlated positively with intrapreneurship at the Individual- Level.
Research, Practical & Social implications: Examining psychological empowerment and its dimensions as determinants of intrapreneurship can provide a better insight to understand the underlying mechanism of stimulating intrapreneurship at the individual- level. This would contribute significantly in creating a supportive work environment that stimulates intrapreneurship, and reinforces creativity and innovative thinking among employees.
Originality/value: This study can be considered the first to be conducted in the context of Saudi Arabia to test the relationship between psychological empowerment and intrapreneurship at the Individual- Level. Additionally, this study aim to enrich the knowledge on intrapreneurial behavior by investigating intrapreneurship at the individual level using the psychological perspective
