目的
很少有模型试图从能力的角度解释创业行为。因此，本文的目的是通过开发和验证衡量哥斯达黎加组织环境内部创业能力的量表来沿着这一思路做出贡献。
设计/方法论/途径
随后进行了三个阶段的过程。第一阶段考虑了文献综述、专家判断、认知访谈和回译。第二阶段，对 543 名主要在哥斯达黎加私营组织工作的大学专业人士进行了问卷调查。第三阶段评估了所提出的量表的心理测量特性，包括由 SPSS 19 执行的探索性因素分析程序；通过使用 EQS 6.2 版本的结构方程建模进行验证性因素分析程序，最后使用 SPSS 19 执行线性回归模型以获得外部标准相关有效性的证据。
研究结果
本研究提供了员工属性的五个子维度的证据，即“机会推动者”、“主动性”、“灵活性”、“驱动力”和“冒险精神”，这些维度构成了称为内部创业能力的更高层次的结构。该量表提供了收敛性、判别性和标准相关有效性的证据——后者使用了员工创新行为量表。
原创性/价值
该模型为继续研究提供了第一步，旨在开发稳健的内部创业能力模型。这种性质的工具的潜在预测能力对商业部门很有用，特别是作为一种诊断工具，可以在促进公司创新发展和创建新业务的领域加强员工发展流程。
Purpose
Few models have attempted to explain intrapreneurial behavior from the perspective of competencies. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to contribute along this line by developing and validating a scale to measure intrapreneurial competencies for a Costa Rican organizational context.
Design/methodology/approach
A three stage process was followed. The first stage considered literature review, expert judgment, cognitive interviews, and back-translation. In the second stage, the questionnaire was administered to a sample of 543 university professionals who worked mainly in private organizations in Costa Rica. The third stage led to evaluate of the proposed scale’s psychometric properties, including, exploratory factor analysis procedure performing by SPSS 19; confirmatory factor analysis procedures by means of structural equation modeling using EQS 6.2 version and finally, a linear regression model to obtain evidence of external criterion-related validity, performed by SPSS 19.
Findings
This study provides evidence of five sub-dimensions of employee attributes, i.e., “opportunity promoter”, “proactivity”, “flexibility”, “drive”, and “risk taking” that constitute a higher-level construct called intrapreneurial competencies. The scale provided evidence of convergent, discriminant, and criterion-related validity – the latter, using an employee innovative behavior scale.
Originality/value
The model offers a first step to continue studies that aim at developing a robust model of intrapreneurial competencies. This potential predictive capacity of an instrument of this nature would be useful for the business sector, particularly as a diagnostic instrument to strengthen processes of staff development in areas that promote the development of innovation and the creation of new businesses for the company.
