5. INTRAPRENEURSHIP IN SECRETARIAT
Professionional evolution + responsibility, knowledge and update
The secretary needs to be:
“an innovative, creative and entrepreneur professional and able to perform
their responsibilities while facing numerous socio-economic changes”
Marques dos Santos (2011, p. 5)
6. OBJECTIVE
To identify which factors influence the intrapreneurship in the
specific professional: management assistant
8. RESULTS – INTERVIEWED:
8 secretarial professionals of different companies (informatics
consulting, auto industry, financial advisory, print media, distribution and
logistics);
Age range between 23-51 years;
Higher education in area;
Years of experience: 1-2 (3 ♀); 10-20 (4 ♀) and 30 (1 ♀).
9. DISPOSITIONAL TRAITS
Proactive personality improvement, identify changes, tasks in advance and
exceed expectations (except E2 and E5);
Need of achievement E3, E6 and E8 wanted other challenges: hardworking in
bringing ideas and self motivating;
Locus of control E1 and E8 influence results of their work (eg: empathy);
Self efficacy negative vs natural mistake (> sense of efficacy > challenges).
10. DEMOGRAPHY – AGE
Limited evidence understudied factor
With age the motivation but the capacity to explore opportunities (Stam et al., 2012)
E6 (> 50 years):
Proactive personality
contradicts what people with aging may be - predisposed to change
reinforces that have + capacity and experience to analyze opportunities
11. COGNITIVE ABILITIES – EDUCATION ADN EXPERIENCE
National and multinational
experience:
• E3 enriching knowledge influenced
the vision of work;
• “Always do better” e “fight to get away”;
• People with + experience exploit
entrepreneurial opportunities.
(Shane, 2003)
E5 e E6 = Education level:
• E6 knowledge and confidence to
solve problems;
• E5 without that trust, - prone to
challenges, - proactive and
resigned;
• Education vs personal traits/ job
design.
(Le Pine & Van Dyne, 1998)
12. JOB DESIGN
Type routine with newness (solving attitude) vs rigorous systems;
Autonomy managers expect everything prepared vs limitation of E2 (organization)
and E5 (work);
Variety diversified tasks (SME) vs most rigorous tasks (big enterprise);
13. WORK CONTEXT
Rewards without promotion, performance evaluation, annual premium, salary
increase;
Resources working conditions influence the experience of other behaviors (E3);
Leadership laissez-faire type except for E1 (scapegoat) and E2 (depreciation);
Work group climate favorable with active participation (error without
consequence) vs restrictive rules (E2).
14. DISCUSSION
It seems to have +
influence
Neutral needs + study
It seems to have -
influence
15. DISCUSSION
Big enterprises open-mind, professional recognition, freedom and trust;
Secretariat assumes > importance facilitator and information manager;
SMES secretaries have difficulties to behaviors intrapreneurs:
E2: organization with strict rules, without space to suggestions, employees
can not have initiative or change the form of work;
E5: tasks not included in function, demotivation, rather have +
responsibilities,
16. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE
Results may help companies to identify what are the enablers and constraints
to the development of intrapreneurial skills and attitudes:
EMPLOYEE try to develop personal traits of intrapreneurial ability: a
more proactive personality (take more initiative, be persistent and dynamic),
increase the realization of need’s levels (look for own motivation) and self-
efficacy.
ORGANIZATION should provide a working environment open to
change, reward employees for acting proactively and giving suggestions for
improvement, sufficient autonomy, a participatory leadership style, working
teams and a culture in which mistakes are accepted where people are not
afraid of making mistakes and
17. CONCLUSIONS
The role of intrapreneur is undervalued and little understood (Martiarena,
2013);
Secretaries with particular characteristics and different environments;
Factors that seem to have + influence personal traits, job design and work
context;
Knowing realities and study professional experiences;
Depth analysis would not have been possible with another method.
18. LIMITATIONS
Concept in the growth phase curiosity vs difficulty;
Only one work appointing intrapreneurship factors (Stam et al, 2012.);
Degree of depth vs flexibility interviews and investigator
experience/competence;
Group of 8 people;
+ Investigations to understand what drives one intrapreneur.
