Entrepreneurial Behavior in Organizations: Does Job Design Matter?
基于荷兰一家研究咨询机构179名员工的多源调查数据，发现工作自主性正向影响创业行为（创新、主动性和风险承担），而工作多样性则无显著影响。
We take a first step to explore how organizational factors influence individual entrepreneurial behavior at work, by investigating the role of job design variables. Drawing on multiple–source survey data of 179 workers in a Dutch research and consultancy organization, we find that entrepreneurial behavior, indicated by innovation, proactivity, and risk–taking items, is a higher order construct. Job autonomy is positively related with entrepreneurial behavior, as well as its innovation and proactivity subdimensions, while job variety is not. This suggests that interventions related to the vertical scope of jobs will promote entrepreneurial behaviors more than horizontal job expansion.
