Introducción: promover la conducta intraemprendedora es vital en cualquier organización, incluidas las del contexto educativo. Esta conducta se caracteriza por buscar oportunidades, actuar de forma proactiva para aprovechar esas oportunidades, así como adaptarse al entorno y actuar de forma innovadora. Asimismo, si los docentes quieren enseñar emprendimiento a los estudiantes, deben actuar como modelos de rol mostrando un comportamiento innovador, basado en la acción y la experiencia en el desarrollo de nuevos proyectos en el ámbito educativo. Con el objetivo de profundizar en el intraemprendimiento docente, el presente estudio examina empíricamente la influencia de la identificación organizacional en el comportamiento intraemprendedor docente y el papel mediador que puede desempeñar el work engagement en esa relación. Método: se utilizó un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales con la técnica de mínimos cuadrados parciales que permite analizar los datos que reportaron en un cuestionario 234 docentes (63% mujeres; Medad = 45 años) pertenecientes a varios centros educativos, mayoritariamente públicos y del sur de España (Andalucía). Resultados: los resultados muestran que existe una relación positiva entre la identificación organizacional y el work engagement y que, además, ambos influyen de forma positiva en el intraemprendimiento. Se confirma que la relación entre identificación organizacional e intraemprendimiento está totalmente mediada por el work engagement. Conclusiones: a la vista de estos resultados, se recomienda que las autoridades educativas y la dirección de centros de enseñanza promuevan una mayor identificación organizacional de los docentes con su centro educativo para estimular su implicación en el trabajo y un mayor comportamiento intraemprendedor.

Introduction: Promoting intrapreneurial behavior is vital in any organization, including those in the educational context. This behavior is characterized by seeking opportunities, acting proactively to take advantage of those opportunities, as well as adapting to the environment and acting innovatively. Likewise, if teachers want to teach entrepreneurship to students, they must act as role models showing innovative behavior, based on action and experience in the development of new projects in the educational environment. With the aim of delving deeper into teacher intrapreneurship, this study empirically examines the influence of organizational identification on teacher intrapreneurial behavior and the mediating role that work engagement can play in this relationship. Method: We used a structural equation model with the partial least squares technique to analyze the data reported in a questionnaire by 234 teachers (63% female; Mage = 45 years) belonging to several educational centers, mostly public and in southern Spain (Andalusia). Results: The results show that there is a positive relationship between organizational identification and work engagement and that, in addition, both have a positive influence on intrapreneurship. Moreover, results confirm that the relationship between organizational identification and intrapreneurship is totally mediated by work engagement. Conclusions: In view of these results, we recommend that educational authorities and school principals promote greater organizational identification of teachers with their school to stimulate their involvement in their work and greater intrapreneurial behavior.
