Abstract
One of the paths chosen by businesses to increase their competitiveness through innovation is by encouraging
employees to adopt a more entrepreneurial attitude. Although studies on Entrepreneurial Orientation have brought
important contributions, anecdotal evidences of entrepreneurial employees not affected by corporate initiatives
drive attention to managers’ roles in developing entrepreneurial behavior. We found good possible explanations
in the theory Induced vs. Autonomous Entrepreneurial Behavior. Thus, the objective of this study is to empirically
analyze the factors that inhibit or encourage entrepreneurial behavior. These factors arose from empirical research
and were consolidated based on a literature review. This is a qualitative study whose data were collected in
interviews carried out with 15 executives from different businesses in Brazil. The results showed that, while some
Entrepreneurially Oriented practices can induce employees to adopt entrepreneurial behavior, autonomous
behavior intrapreneurs are mostly stimulated by manager attitude. Managers use different approaches depending
on the type of intrapreneur whose entrepreneurial behavior is intended to be stimulated, leading to the conclusion
that managers, in some cases, play an important role in promoting Corporate Entrepreneurship.
Key words: entrepreneurial orientation; entrepreneurial behavior; induced behavior; autonomous behavior;
intrapreneur.
