Abstract

Purpose Using trait activation theory (TAT), this paper aims to empirically assess that work drive (WD) personality characteristics of employees will express better towards intrapreneurial behaviour (IB) outcomes in higher levels of job autonomy (JA) at the workplace. Design/methodology/approach Using cross-sectional design, a total of 258 engineering employees from the automotive industry of Pakistan were surveyed. The partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) statistical method was used to evaluate the hypothesised theoretical model. Findings Statistical results revealed a significant and positive relationship between WD and IB. WD personality was also found to be activated with its interplay with JA for personality expression towards IB. Practical implications The present study offers a deeper insight into the interplay of organisational and individual factors as determinants of IB of employees. The study's findings suggested the importance of the rightful application of organisational situational cues in person–situation interaction for positive workplace behaviours by employees. Personality assessment of employees and their interplay with situational cues, as per conceptualisation of TAT, can assist the corporations towards enhanced levels of employees' behavioural tendencies towards intrapreneurship. Originality/value The application of TAT from the present study's perspective is novel theoretically as the literature on the activation of personality traits towards IB outcomes is non-existent. Also, the assessment of situational cues in JA will open avenues for organisational behaviour researchers to seek more organisational situational moderators for their assessment of various personality–outcome relationships in diverse contexts to activate personality traits.
词典中只有成功先于工作:基于特质激活理论的工作自主性对创业内行为的作用
目的运用特质激活理论(TAT),实证评估工作自主性(JA)水平越高,员工的工作驱力(WD)人格特征对企业内部行为(IB)结果的表达越好。设计/方法/方法采用横断面设计,对来自巴基斯坦汽车工业的258名工程员工进行了调查。采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)统计方法对假设的理论模型进行了评价。研究结果表明,员工敬业度与员工敬业度之间存在显著的正相关关系,敬业度人格与员工敬业度人格的相互作用也激活了员工敬业度人格的表达。研究结果表明,在人-情境互动中正确应用组织情境线索对于员工积极的工作场所行为至关重要。根据TAT的概念,对员工的人格评估及其与情境线索的相互作用可以帮助企业提高员工的内部创业行为倾向水平。从本研究的角度来看,TAT的应用在理论上是新颖的,因为关于人格特质对IB结果的激活的文献是不存在的。同时,情境线索的评估将为组织行为学研究者寻找更多的组织情境调节因子来评估不同情境下的各种人格-结果关系以激活人格特征开辟道路。
