From corporate entrepreneurship to turnover intention: a view from humane entrepreneurship

Abstract

Purpose

Based on the humane entrepreneurship perspective, this study examines the mediating relationship of organizational trust (OT) between corporate entrepreneurship (CE) and turnover intention (TI). In addition, it tests the moderating role of top talent management (TTM) between corporate entrepreneurship and OT.

Design/methodology/approach

This study uses a multi-level research method to provide a conceptually comprehensive understanding of how CE works in an organization by testing the relationship between organizational practices and employees' outcomes.

Findings

This study found the mediating role of OT between cooperate entrepreneurship and employee TI. The authors also found the moderating role of TTM between CE and OT.

Originality/value

In this study, it is meaningful that OT is set as a mediating variable to identify the relationship between CE and workers' attitudes (TI). Although previous studies have shown a positive correlation between CE and TI, there was a lack of specific research on the indirect process by which CE affects workers' attitudes. This study looked more closely at the impact of CE on workers' attitudes using a multiple quasi-analysis.
