Estratégias para o fortalecimento da cultura intraempreendedora da Receita Federal do Brasil

Abstract

Entrepreneurship can provide a model capable of meeting the need for competitiveness and innovation of public or private organizations. The entrepreneur is considered the innovation agent, being responsible for seeking and conducting innovation. Intrapreneurship is characterized by the action of the enterprising individual who ideally finds a favorable organizational culture and freedom in the organization in which he works to develop ideas and bring innovation. The creation and strengthening of an intrapreneurial culture is desirable for any organization and, in particular, in the public sector, it is a determining factor for the improvement of public management in Brazil. This research had as general objective the evaluation of the current intrapreneurial culture of the Brazilian Federal Revenue and the indication of strategies for its strengthening. To achieve this objective, a descriptive, predominantly quantitative research was carried out. The collection procedure was carried out through a survey for convenience, through the use of a structured questionnaire, composed of three scales - intrapreneurial conduct, intrapreneurial culture and organizational identification - and by questions of a sociodemographic nature, disclosed to all employees of the Federal Revenue Service of Brazil. We proceeded with the analysis of the adequacy of the model for the intrapreneurial conduct, through modeling by structural equations. The results indicated that the factors of intrapreneurial culture, available time and clarity in tasks did not have a significant impact on organizational identification. However, the factors support from management, freedom at work and use of rewards had a positive impact on organizational identification, explaining 64% of its variance. It was also observed that organizational identification had a positive effect on intrapreneurial conduct. Based on these results, actions were proposed to strengthen the most relevant factors of intrapreneurial culture for the considered model and can be replicated to other public or private institutions.
