Perceived organizational support was sufficient in all configurations of introjected motivation, highlighting its importance in fostering a sense of duty and genuine enjoyment at work. Intrapreneurial self-efficacy was central in cases where the fit between intrapreneurial intentions and behaviors was strong, underscoring the importance of an individual’s confidence in their abilities.
