Abstract
Given the importance of the employees’ role in intrapreneurship, this study aims to investigate employees level factors that can positively affect employees’ entrepreneurial behaviors (innovative behavior, proactive behavior, and work-related risk-taking). In particular, the study hypothesizes a moderated mediation model in which (a) psychological safety is directly and positively related to employees’ entrepreneurial behaviors, (b) error orientations (error competence, learning from errors, error risk-taking, error communication, and thinking about errors) mediate the positive relationship between psychological safety and employees’ entrepreneurial behaviors, and (c) innovation climate within the organization strengthens the positive link between psychological safety and employees’ entrepreneurial behaviors and the mediated link between psychological safety and employees’ entrepreneurial behaviors via error orientations. This study used a nonexperimental cross-sectional quantitative research method. The hypothesized model was tested using data collected from 379 full-time employees working at 34 ICT outsourcing companies in smart village, Egypt. Data were obtained using a self-report questionnaire collected via human resources management in the companies. The moderated mediation model was analyzed using path analysis employing a Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) macro named PROCESS. The findings provided partial support for the moderated-mediation model, as well as it carried some unexpected results. The results of the study showed that psychological safety has a significant direct positive effect on all error orientations and on all employees’ entrepreneurial behaviors. Considering the relationship between error orientations and employees’ entrepreneurial behavior; error competence, learning from errors, error risk-taking, and error communication positively affect employees’ innovative behavior. Error risk-taking and error communication positively affect employees’ proactive behavior and work-related risk-taking. But unexpectedly, the study found that thinking about errors negatively influences innovative behavior, and learning from errors negatively affects risk-taking. Furthermore, through the results of the mediation hypothesis, it can be said that error risk-taking is the best explanation of the indirect relationship between psychological safety and employees’ entrepreneurial behaviors. Moreover, the innovation climate moderates the mediating effect of psychological safety on employees’ entrepreneurial behavior via error risk-taking. The research concludes by discussing the results in more detail and discussing theoretical and practical implications.
