Human Service Organizations as an Arena for Social Intrapreneurship: A Cross‐Country Analysis

Abstract

ABSTRACT A comprehensive comparative study using qualitative methodology was conducted in Israel and the U.S. to examine the goals that social workers seek to achieve through social intrapreneurship, measures of success for social intrapreneurship and motivations to act as social intrapreneurs. Categorical content analysis was used to identify recurring themes according to predetermined study questions. The research findings provide insights into the role of social organizations and social work education systems in designing policies that promote the involvement of social workers in social intrapreneurship to address complex and ongoing social problems.
