    The Role of Transformational Leaders and Intra-organizational Social Capital in Fostering Employees’ Intrapreneurial Behaviour. A quantitative study including an interaction effect

    This thesis explores the complex relationship between transformational leadership and intrapreneurial behaviour, moderated by intra-organizational social capital. Extant research indicates that intrapreneurial behaviour is essential to organizational success. Transformational leaders tend to motivate and encourage intrapreneurial behaviour of employees. Hence, theory suggests that it is valuable to examine this relationship in a context in which intra-organizational social capital is present. The research argues how we are currently doing on intrapreneurship within organizations, how much do we actually encourage bottom-up initiatives by employees? To examine this, research was conducted in a subsidiary of a large wholesale organization, consisting of nine distinct teams. The presence of several teams, offers the researcher the opportunity to examine interactions among employees both within and across different teams. However, the findings of this research are not in line with existing literature and show statistically non-significant effects. Thus, it highlights the need for further exploration of for instance, alternative leadership styles, contextual factors, or a larger sample size that may influence intrapreneurial behaviour. Nevertheless, this study emphasized the need for an appropriate leader and either weak or strong ties among employees to foster intrapreneurial activities and improve organizational performance. Keywords: Intrapreneurial behavior, innovation, transformational leadership, intraorganizational social capital, social networks

    Governance of uncertainty in implementing mobility innovations: A comparison of two Dutch cases

    No full text
    To make the supply of transport services more attractive and sustainable, mobility suppliers and governmental actors expect much from mobility innovations. When developing and realizing these innovations, they experience considerable uncertainty about the future outcomes of implementing these innovations (1), and about other actors' intentions and actions in realizing these innovations (2). Literature on governance under uncertainty often overlooks the experienced uncertainty during interactions among multiple actors. To address this gap, this paper applies a new conceptual model for understanding interacting actor behaviour under uncertainty in the context of two innovative mobility cases in the Netherlands: Mobility as a Service (a digital channel for users to plan, book, and pay for multiple mobility services) and ERTMS (a new European rail traffic control system). Our analysis reveals that actors tend to rely on traditional project management approaches for dealing with uncertainty, even when there is no shared understanding of innovation requirements and scope. However, uncertainty manifests itself most regarding actors’ intentions and actions in the development phase of innovations. This gap underscores the limitations of managing innovations using project management and highlights the need for additional governance approaches to address the major uncertainties that actors face about their mutual relations

    Improving the link between the futures field and policymaking

    No full text
    Policymakers need to make policies for unknown and uncertain futures. Researchers in the futures field have a great deal to contribute to the policymaking process. But, futures research is often neglected as an element of policymaking. The aim of this paper is to improve the link between futures research and policymaking. More specifically, as Policy Analysis has a strong link with policymaking, this paper explores the possibility of linking Policy Analysis to the futures field through the use of an uncertainty typology applied in Policy Analysis. The typology can be used to structure the various forward-looking disciplines (or subfields) of the futures field according to the level of uncertainty that they address. This linkage can add significantly to the use of futures research in policymaking.Rivers, Ports, Waterways and Dredging EngineeringAir Transport & Operation
