The influence of entrepreneurial competencies of project leader on innovative idea generation in the ict firms

초록

To be more adaptive, innovative, and remain competitive in challenging business environment, entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship are becoming increasingly important for high-technology firms as well as ICT and software firms to renew strategic innovation. This study examines the impact of entrepreneurial competencies of project leaders on the innovative behavior of IT experts and software developers during the new ICT and software development processes. We especially focused on the mediating role of team intrapreneurial climate and self-efficacy of team members between the independent variable and the performance variable. Structural equation model was constructed from the theoretical hypotheses, and the model was proved based on responses from the survey of knowledge workers who have experience in the ICT and software development projects. The conclusions would give some implications for the ICT and software companies who intend to form and develop successful intrapreneurial climate for project teams and to increase self-efficacy for innovative work behavior of their employees. ? 2005 - ongoing JATIT & LLS.
