Decision criteria in the evaluation of potential intrapreneurs

摘要

Social cognition theory constructs were applied to systematically identify decision criteria underlying managers' selection of individuals for intrapreneurial and general administrative manager positions. Results revealed 19 attributes uniquely ascribed to the role of intrapreneur, 24 attributes uniquely ascribed in the role of general administrative manager, and 37 attributes held in common across the two roles. Differences in the average number of attributes elicited varied across sample groups, with a larger number of attributes elicited from individuals with greater entre/intrapreneurial expertise. Implications for researchers, orgnaizations, and aspiring in- trapreneurs are discussed.
