The second independent varaible is the ratio of the number of sales department crew over number of all employees of each insurance company. The third independent variable is the ratio of number of male salespeople over the number of all sales department of each insurance company. Results indicate that the ratio of the number of male sales department crew over the number of all employees of each insurance company has a negative effect on the average turnover produced by one employee. Moreover, the ratio of number of male salespeople over the number of all sales department of each insurance company is found to have positive effect on the dependent variable. Lastly, the ratio of the number of staff holding a BA degree over the number of all employees of each insurance company has no significant effect on the dependent variable.This study also provides a summary of the basic terms of the concept of insurance and risk. Considering that the profitability is a very crucial issue for the insurance sector as for all other sectors, the profitability ratios of the insurance companies for the last 10 years are provided and analyzed within the study.

Employees’ intrapreneurial engagement Initiatives and its influence on organisational survival

“…Evidently, when intrapreneurial engagement goes up by 1, organisational survival goes up by 0.837. These findings validate the submissions of Irawanto (2015) and Serinkan, Kaymakci, Arat & Avcik (2013). This suggest that when employees are given autonomy to develop worthwhile intrapreneurship innovation with appropriate competitive reward system, it will motivate employees to think and behave like intrapreneurs and as well be committed to chart the course since they are involved in the process.…”

“…The implication of this to the management is that, if conducive working environment that allows employees to think outside the box is provided and efforts are being rewarded, there is every likelihood that employees will turn opportunities at their disposal into new innovations that will enhance organisational sustainability. This validates the submission of Serinkan et al (2013) that if employees are given opportunities to explore and management provides good working environment, it will trigger intrapreneurial initiatives. Another managerial implication is that if employees are empowered and are given autonomy, it will encourage them to think of new business opportunities and innovate to take advantage of the opportunities around them.…”

Entrepreneurial intention, job satisfaction and organisation commitment - construct of a research model through literature review

“…Entrepreneurial intention and organisational commitment Luca and Simo (2016) in a scholarly article found that organisations impose common aims, objectives, rules, chains of command and control to their employees that drastically limit individual initiative and autonomy. Serinkan et al (2013) indicated that, even in large organisations, entrepreneurial behaviour in employees is seen as favourable to increase the competitiveness and performance of the employees. Gbadamosi and Nwosu (2011a, b) articulated that entrepreneurial intention and job satisfaction are the significant predictors of organisational commitment.…”

Profesionalisme, Motivasi Berprestasi, Komitmen Organisasi Dan Pengaruhnya Terhadap Intensi Berwirausaha

“…Penelitian dari Gbadamosi dan Nwosu (2011); Luca dan Simo (2016); dan Serinkan et al (2013) menyatakan bahwa komitmen organisasi berpengaruh terhadap intensi berwirausaha karyawan. Dengan demikian hipotesis penelitian ketiga dinyatakan bahwa komitmen organisasi berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap intensi berwirausaha karyawan.…”

“…Hasil penelitian berdasarkan pembuktian hipotesis ketiga menunjukkan bahwa komitmen organisasi berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap intensi berwirausaha (Gbadamosi dan Nwosu, 2011;Luca dan Simo, 2016;Serinkan et al, 2013). Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa karyawan akan bersedia berkomitmen dengan organisasi apabila mereka merasa puas dengan pekerjaannya.…”
