Proposing a model of manager's strategic intelligence, organization development, and entrepreneurial behavior in organizations

Abstract

PurposeThe main purpose of this article is to examine the relationship among the manager's Strategic Intelligence (SI) with Organization Development (OD), and Entrepreneurial Behaviour (EB) in governmental agencies in underdeveloped countries.Design/methodology/approachTo fulfill the purpose of this study, 274 staff were selected from a population of 480 based on stratified sampling. Descriptive and inferential statistics (including the measurement methods, KMO, Bartlett, Durbin–Watson, and path analysis tests) were performed by using SPSS22 software and Lisrel 8.5.FindingsBased on the results of the analysis, there is a positive significant relationship between the manager's SI and organizational development. Moreover, there is a positive significant relationship between the manager's SI and entrepreneurial behavior. However, examining the moderator variables including demographic characteristics revealed that the demographic characteristics have no effect on the manager's SI–OD relationship and manager's SI–EB relationship. Only gender influences the manager's SI–EB relationship.Practical implicationsThis research proposes a model of the relevant internal variables that have a positive effect on the organization's development and growth. The model is intended to help organizations gain competitive advantage and opportunity by improving the internal factors (managers' SI and entrepreneurial behavior of managers and staff) for the development and survival.Originality/valueThis study proposed a model of manager's SU, OD and Entrepreneurial Behavior in organizations based on data collected from underdeveloped countries. Also, the result of this study could be used by startup and entrepreneurial companies around the world.

“…Issues of strategic planning, namely the development and implementation of strategies are quite common among foreign and domestic researchers. Scientists who have studied the problems of formation and justification of enterprise development strategies are Agyapong and Acquaah (2021), Ahmadi et al (2020), Amatori and Colli (2007), Choi and Kim (2020), Contractor andKundu (1998), Da Silva Lopes et al (2019), Kun (2021), Latysheva et al (2021, Oncioiu et al (2021), Pan et al (2016, Parkhomenko (2020), Romelaer and Beddi (2015), Shirodkar and Shete (2022) and others. The study proves that there is no single approach to monitoring the evaluation criteria or the list of indicators that are the basis for choosing an organizational strategy for enterprise development.…”

Strategic intelligence, organizational development and entrepreneurial behavior

“…Evaluation of OD typically employs a questionnaire survey as an effective tool as sin the case of Weisbord (1976) who developed an organizational diagnosis model consisting of six dimensions – purpose, leadership, rewards, structure, helpful, and relationship mechanisms. In this study Ahmadi et al (2020) use these criteria with an additional measurement of attitude to change.…”

“…A research paper by Ahmadi et al (2020) examines the relationship between manager’s SI and OD and EB and proposes a structural model to illustrate this relationship. Data is gathered from the responses of 274 employees from a government agency in an underdeveloped country to three standard questionnaires.…”
