Abstract

The entrepreneurial behavior of employees is an important factor that determines the competitiveness, success and sustainability of hotel businesses. Managers play an important role in the workforce exhibiting such behaviors. In this context, the aim of the study is to determine the effects of digital leadership behaviors and managerial power usage of hotel business managers on the intrapreneurial behaviors of employees. The study was conducted with a causal scanning design, one of the quantitative research methods. The research universe consists of hotel employees operating in Istanbul. In order to ensure that the participants represent the universe more, “stratified sampling” and "easy sampling" techniques were used. The research data were collected from 947 hotel employees in 42 different hotels with the survey technique. As a result of the study, it was determined that position power, one of the managerial power dimensions, had a negative and significant effect on the intrapreneurial performance of hotel business employees. No significant effect was observed on the intrapreneurial performance of other managerial power dimensions and digital leadership. However, it was determined that digital leadership did not produce any significant effect on intrapreneurial behavior.
