| Abstract: | This study investigates the relationships among the external environment, intrapreneurship and performance of Turkish manufacturing
firms. As a multidimensional construct, intrapreneurship is examined in terms of innovativeness, new business venturing, self-renewal,
risk taking, and proactiveness. The environmental munificence and hostility are examined as the external determinants of intrapreneurship
activities. Firm performance is considered as a multifaceted structure that covers financial and non-financial measures. Based
on the data from 331 Turkish manufacturing firms, empirical results showed that environmental factors have statistically significant
impact on the intrapreneurship activities of these firms. Profitability is negatively and significantly associated with self-renewal,
while it is positively and significantly related with dimensions of innovation and risk taking. Growth is found to be significantly
and positively correlated with only new business venturing. Finally, innovation is the only dimension that is positively and
significantly associated with both customer and employee satisfaction, which are the main non-financial firm performance measures. |
