Star intrapreneurs:characteristics of Indonesian corporate entrepreneurs

Abstract

Global competition has been driving many companies globally, including in Indonesia, to develop intrapreneurship within their organizations. The current study offers the concept of star intrapreneurs to examine the intrapreneur character scale which operates at the individual level within the cultural context of Indonesia. The concept of intrapreneurship in this study consisted of two dimensions: the person and the interaction. The dimension of person has three sub-dimensions: pattern of constructive thinking, pattern of positive attitude, and pattern of productive action. Meanwhile, the dimension of interaction also consisted of three subdimensions: friend in thinking, interlocutor, and partner in action. Visually, the six sub-dimensions are depicted in the form of a star with six corner points. Confirmatory factors analysis was used. This study has proven that the two dimensions and the six sub-dimensions of star intrapreneurs are acceptable and correlate with individual work performance as an external validator.
