Resumen

Para mantener su nivel de competitividad, las empresas necesitan crear productos novedosos o procesos cada vez más eficientes, para ello es importante contar con la participación de sus empleados; a esto se le conoce como comportamiento intraemprendedor. El objetivo de esta investigación es identificar los efectos de los factores externos e internos sobre el comportamiento intraemprendedor en el sector manufacturero de Tamaulipas. Con este fin, se empleó un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales con variables de segundo orden, tomando una muestra de 280 observaciones. Los resultados muestran que tanto los factores internos como los externos tienen efectos positivos y significativos sobre el comportamiento intraemprendedor.
