Abstract: This study examines the impact of employee characteristics on intrapreneurial behaviour and innovative performance in Tunisian technology firms. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire and used in linear regression and ANOVA techniques. The results show a positive association between intrapreneurial behaviour and innovation capacity. Employee characteristics significantly influence the relationships between independent variables (innovation, proactivity, risk-taking, networking, and opportunity recognition) and dependent variables (innovative performance). This research provides valuable insights for organisations aiming to enhance their innovation capabilities by effectively utilising employee characteristics and cultivating an intrapreneurial culture.

Keywords: innovative; networking; opportunity; risk-taking; performance.
