This research aims to analyze which combinations of sports entrepreneurs' personal characteristics and actions performed have been most and least effective in mi…
How to foster intrapreneurial intentions of sport science students? A cross-cultural symmetric and asymmetric approach
Intrapreneurs are needed in the sport sector due to its competitive nature. However, little attention has been paid to this topic within sport entrepreneurship literature. This paper aims to examine the cross-cultural applicability of Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior for predicting the intrapreneurial intentions (II) of sport science students from two European countries and to discover if there is a moderating effect of country’s culture on the…
