Corporate entrepreneurship brings to organizations a new working philosophy, in which the individual ability of each employee can be more effectively developed. Corporations that adopt an intrapreneurial culture will be effective in their market, with intrapreneurs generating innovations and competitive advantages. In this context, this study seeks to characterize intrapreneurial behavior among employees of two universities of Santa Catarina, Brazil, linking it to five organizational factors: managerial support, freedom in the workplace, available time, uncertainty in tasks, and rewards. It also seeks to measure organizational identity to determine if this variable is a mediator in the relationship between the factors and intrapreneurial behavior. Analysis of the data involved the use of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equations Modeling (SEM), seeking to evaluate the relationships proposed between the organizational factors. The results shown that the factors are positively related with intrapreneurial behavior. In regard to the relationship between the factors and organizational identity, the strongest relationship was found with managerial support, followed by freedom in the workplace. The other factors showed a poorer relationship in the coefficients. Finally, the hypothesis that organizational identity is a mediator between organizational factors and intrapreneurial behavior was not supported. The theme in question is very important for providing information and support that can help managers in the strategic decision-making process, as well as increasing knowledge of practices of corporate entrepreneurialism.
