Testing Mediating Mechanisms of Intrapreneurship on Public Sector Innovation Capability and Organizational Performance
This study explores how entrepreneurial leadership influences innovation capability within public sector organizations. It proposes a model linking leadership behaviors to specific organizational outcomes through mediating mechanisms like psychological safety and digital readiness.
In plain words
Some public sector leaders act like entrepreneurs inside their organisations. This study would test how that leadership turns into a greater ability to innovate, through things such as staff feeling safe to speak up and being ready for digital change.
Primary research question
How do specific mediating mechanisms translate intrapreneurial leadership into measurable innovation capability within public sector organizations?
Knowledge gap
What remains worth asking
The source suggests that while leadership and innovation literatures exist, it remains useful to test the proposed mediating mechanisms and contextual moderators in diverse public sector settings.
Potential contribution
Why it may matter
Understanding these mechanisms can inform administrative reform and leadership development strategies to improve public sector adaptability.
