Empreendedorismo corporativo: uma análise das relações entre cultura intraempreendedora e competências empreendedoras individuais em uma instituição federal de ensino (IFNMG)

Abstract

Corporate Entrepreneurship is a phenomenon that involves behavioral aspects at micro and macro organizational levels, which interact seeking mutual growth, oriented towards stimulating and spreading innovation in organizations. At the micro, individual level, there are Entrepreneurial Skills (ES), which represent a set of knowledge, skills and attitudes that are decisive for entrepreneurial people. At the macro level, which represents the organization itself, the Intrapreneurial Culture (IC) is presented, as a set of attitudes that, if adopted in a conscious and continuous manner by organizations, result in the creation of an internal environment favorable to learning, creativity and employee innovation. For public sector organizations, corporate entrepreneurship is an organizational factor that expands the possibilities of creating value for citizens and addresses social opportunities. Given the above, this study aimed to investigate what is the relationship between an intrapreneurial organizational culture and the individual entrepreneurial skills of employees at the Federal Institute of Northern Minas Gerais - IFNMG. To achieve the proposed objective, a descriptive, analytical and quantitative research was carried out. The research population, selected for convenience, was composed by Technical-administrative servers in Education and EBTT Teachers, from all units of the IFNMG. Two research questionnaires were applied, the first of which sought to identify the entrepreneurial skills in the servers, and the second questionnaire aimed to verify the perception of the employees about the dimensions that make up the intrapreneurial culture in the researched institution. The questionnaires were sent to the entire population, with 209 complete answers returned. Quantitative analysis of the data confirmed the existence of entrepreneurial skills in all servers, with greater or lesser intensity, with emphasis on Persistence, Quality and efficiency requirements, Commitment and Search for information that obtained the best results. The study revealed that most employees have a high perception of the dimensions of the intrapreneurial culture, with highlights for Organizational Identification and Reward. The test of correlations between the factors of the two constructs did not confirm the existence of significant relationships between them. This study contributes to the development of academic research in the field of corporate entrepreneurship in the public sector, as well as to the evolution of organizational practices at the IFNMG, since the results indicate the existence of entrepreneurial skills in all servers, which can be intensified through the adoption of strategies and actions aimed at innovation and corporate entrepreneurship. It is also considered that the IFNMG's experiences for strengthening intra-entrepreneurial culture and disseminating innovation may be replicated in other Brazilian federal educational institutions.
