MENINGKATKAN PERILAKU ENTREPENEURSHIP KARYAWAN MELALUI KEPERCAYAAN TERHADAP PIMPINAN DAN STRUKTUR ORGANISASI

Abstract

Employe entrepreneurial behavior are considered to be an
important driver of innovation and strategic renewal within
companies. This paper focuses on employee behaviour and how it can
be stimulated towards entrepreneurship. We propose and test a two-
step model where formal and informal work context affects
employees’ entrepreneurial behaviour, which then provides the basis
for bottom-up initiated entrepreneurial projects. Our empirical data
consist of questionnaire responses of 176 employees in Star Hotel
Semarang. The results of structural equation model estimations
indicate that organisational structure affect employees’
entrapreneurial behaviour, but also trust in the direct manager. We
also find that innovativeness and personal initiative, but not risk
taking, play a role for an effective translation of employees’ behaviour
into entrepreneurial projects.
