Abstract

Digital intrapreneurs (DIs) act and behave in a similar way to typical digital entrepreneurs without the risk of the venture. Digital Intrapreneurship, however, is under the influence of different organizational factors. This study is meant to focus on the relationship between digital intrapreneurship behavior and the workplace climate—specifically, how the workplace climate can influence DIs’ ability to innovate and exploit digital technologies. Our study revealed that three key workplace climate dimensions play into the formation of digital intrapreneurship behavior: individual, situational and organizational factors. The individual factors are represented by motivations, digital literacy, goals, needs, and the DI’s mindset. The individual factors are affected by the different situational factors that consist of collaborative norms, workplace culture, and group dynamics. The situational factors are in close relationship with organizational factors: mission, core values, and the reward system. The study also concludes that technological factors like digital infrastructure play a key role in the relation of the DI work climate and DI activity enabled said factors.
