Ample studies have confirmed the benefits of intrapreneurship (i.e., employee behaviors that contribute to new venture creation and strategic renewal activities) for firm performance, but research on the personal costs and benefits of engaging in intrapreneurial activities for employees is lacking. Building on job demands-resources and reinforcement sensitivity theories, we examined how employees' reinforcement sensitivity qualified the relationship among their intrapreneurial behavior, subjective well-being, and other-rated job performance. Using a sample of 241 employee dyads, the results of moderated mediation analyses confirmed that employee intrapreneurship related positively to work engagement for employees high (vs. low) in sensitivity to rewards (behavioral approach system), which subsequently related positively to innovativeness and in-role performance and negatively to work avoidance. In contrast, employee intrapreneurship related positively to exhaustion for employees high (vs. low) in sensitivity to punishments (behavioral inhibition system), which subsequently related positively to work avoidance and negatively to in-role performance (but not to innovativeness). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved).
大量研究证实了内部创业（即有助于新企业创建和战略更新活动的员工行为）对企业绩效的益处，但对于员工参与内部创业活动的个人成本和收益的研究却很缺乏。基于工作需求-资源理论和强化敏感性理论，我们研究了员工的强化敏感性如何调节其内部创业行为、主观幸福感和他人评价的工作绩效之间的关系。以241对员工为样本，调节中介分析结果证实，对于奖励敏感性高（相对于低）的员工（行为趋近系统），员工内部创业与工作投入呈正相关，而工作投入随后又与创新性和角色内绩效呈正相关，与工作逃避呈负相关。相比之下，对于惩罚敏感性高（相对于低）的员工（行为抑制系统），员工内部创业与倦怠呈正相关，而倦怠随后又与工作逃避呈正相关，与角色内绩效呈负相关（但与创新性无关）。本文讨论了理论和实践意义。（《心理学文摘数据库记录》（c）2018美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
