ABSTRACT
Intrapreneurship is a key to addressing the problems of increased market competition and rapid innovation cycles. This is the reason why established firms have been encouraging intrapreneurial behaviour within their firms. Despite the importance of intrapreneurship, there is a growing concern whether or not organizations are able to successfully implement intrapreneurship in the business. Therefore, this study addresses this concern by conducting a systematic literature review (SLR) using peer-reviewed articles available on Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases. From thematic analysis, this study found that the key drivers for intrapreneurship can be divided into three main categories, namely organizational drivers, individual drivers and environmental drivers. Specifically, the organizational drivers for intrapreneurship are (i) organizational support, (ii) intellectual capital, (iii) leadership style, (iv) learning organization, (v) firm size and (vi) empowerment and autonomy, which play a significant role in promoting intrapreneurship. From the perspective of individual drivers, the factors include (i) individual personality traits, (ii) individual intrapreneurial orientation, (iii) gender and (iv) job satisfaction. It is also found that environmental factors such as dynamism, technological opportunities, industry growth and demand for new solutions will enhance intrapreneurship culture. This study advances existing research on intrapreneurship by offering a comprehensive and systematic categorization of the drivers for intrapreneurship.
