Does a Society’s Culture Affect Its Rate of Entrepreneurial Employee Activity?

Despite abundant research on entrepreneurship, there is still a gap in understanding the sociocultural aspects behind entrepreneurship activities, especially in the literature on intrapreneurship. This study contributes to under- standing the influence of a society’s culture on intrapreneurship from a national perspective. Data from Hofstede Insights and the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) are used to conduct a multiple re- gression analysis of 34 countries from 2016 to 2020. According to the findings of this study, high-power social cultures have a negative impact on employee start-up activities, whereas social cultures with a high degree of individual priority or autonomy have a positive impact on entrepreneurial employee activities. This study not only promotes research on intrapreneurship at the national level but also provides some reference value for the competitive strategies of multinational corporations in host countries.
