Entrepreneurial behaviour holds the enabling forces for such innovative and dynamic behaviour and could also become a strategic advantage for an organization. The purpose of this research is to investigate the influence of organizational culture on entrepreneurial capital of employees. A quantitative research methodology was followed to collect the research data. The organizational culture of 185 respondent’s organizations was measured with the organizational culture assessment instrument and was classified according to the competing values model. The entrepreneurial intent, a proxy for entrepreneurial capital, of these respondents was measured with the theory of a planned behavior instrument. Sequential multiple regression analysis was used to analyse the relationship between entrepreneurial intent and organizational culture. The results confirm that an organization’s culture indirectly influences entrepreneurial capital through the antecedent of planned behaviour. This research contributes to explaining why certain organizations are more entrepreneurial than others. lmgibs2015 Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) MBA Unrestricted 2015-03-13T11:35:46Z 2015-03-13T11:35:46Z 2015-03-24 2014 Mini Dissertation Lötter, C 2014, The influence of organizational culture on the entrepreneurial capital of employees, MBA Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/43996> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/43996 en © 2014 University of Pretoria.
