Why you don´t and I do? Analysis of the precursors of intrapreneurial intention in sports organizations
Abstract
Intrapreneurship is growing in importance at a professional and scientific level. In this sense, in the sports field there are gaps related to the precursors or facilitators (eg, gender, sport, etc.) of the generation of intrapreneurial intentions in sports organizations. The objective of this study is to analyze some precursors of intrapreneurial intention in workers of sports organizations according to gender, the sport to which their organization is dedicated and the job satisfaction of employees. A total of 296 sports employees from sports organizations participated in the study. The Intrapreneurial Intentions Scale was used as a measurement instrument to assess intrapreneurial intentions, while the Overall Job Satisfaction was used to assess job satisfaction. The questionnaires were administered through Google Forms. The results indicated that gender and the sport did not influence the intention of intrapreneurship, while job satisfaction directly and significantly influenced the intentions of intrapreneurship. This study provides valuable information for managers of sports organizations, since some guidelines are exposed that will allow them to promote intrapreneurship among their human capital.
