Despite the well-documented contributions of intrapreneurial behavior to organizational performance, the manifestations of the psychosocial factors at play remain poorly understood. Drawing on the theory of planned behavior, social exchange theory, and social cognitive theory, we propose that perceptions of organizational support would contribute to employees' intrapreneurial intentions and behaviors, but only insofar as employees feel confident about their intrapreneurial skills. The data were collected from 179 employees of a Canadian small and medium enterprise (SME) specializing in damage insurance. The regression analysis results indicate that the indirect effect of perceived organizational support on intrapreneurial behavior through intrapreneurial intention is moderated by intrapreneurial self-efficacy. These findings reveal that intrapreneurial self-efficacy is a boundary motivational condition for perceived organizational support to act on the intrapreneurial process so that intention can translate into behavior. The paper provides useful avenues for managers seeking to identify contextual and motivational levers to develop, sustain, and improve employee intrapreneurship.

尽管内部创业行为对组织绩效的贡献有据可查，但社会心理因素的表现仍然知之甚少。借鉴计划行为理论、社会交换理论和社会认知理论，我们提出组织支持的感知将有助于员工的内部创业意图和行为，但前提是员工对自己的内部创业技能感到自信。这些数据是从一家专门从事损害保险的加拿大中小企业 (SME) 的 179 名员工那里收集的。回归分析结果表明，感知组织支持通过内部创业意向对内部创业行为的间接影响受到内部创业自我效能感的调节。这些发现表明，内部创业自我效能感是感知到的组织支持对内部创业过程起作用的边界激励条件，因此意图可以转化为行为。本文为寻求确定背景和激励杠杆以发展、维持和改善员工内部创业精神的管理者提供了有用的途径。
