The Mediating Effect of Entrepreneurial Team Behavior and Transformational Leadership in the Relationship between Corporate Entrepreneurship and Firm Performance

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship and firm performance, focusing on the mediating roles of entrepreneurial team behavior and transformational leadership. A quantitative study was developed using a descriptive design. Data were collected from 400 white-collar employees working in companies within an organized industrial zone in Turkey. The hypotheses were tested using regression analysis. The analyses were conducted using SPSS 23. The research explores the relationships between corporate entrepreneurship, firm performance, entrepreneurial team behavior, and transformational leadership. Findings indicate significant relationships between corporate entrepreneurship and firm performance, mediated by entrepreneurial team behavior and transformational leadership. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing insights into how corporate entrepreneurship influences firm performance. Examining the mediating roles of entrepreneurial team behavior and transformational leadership offers a nuanced understanding of the factors driving organizational success.
