Intraempreendedorismo secretarial : um estudo nas secretarias do Centro de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas da Universidade Federal de Sergipe

Abstract

This work aimed to investigate secretarial intrapreneurship in the context of the secretariats of the Center for Applied Social Sciences at the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS), with the aim of understanding how employees perceive, apply, and face challenges related to innovation in the institutional environment. The research, which used a qualitative and quantitative approach, was conducted through semistructured interviews and a questionnaire administered to administrative staff. It is exploratory and descriptive, using a case study as a research strategy. The results reveal that there is openness to intrapreneurial practices, although limited by factors such as lack of resources, lack of ongoing training, and difficulties in interdepartmental communication. Despite this, employees demonstrate initiative, creativity, and a willingness to contribute to improvements in the secretariat's processes. It is concluded that strengthening intrapreneurship requires institutional encouragement, a favorable organizational culture, and professional development policies, aiming at modernization and improving the efficiency of the services provided.
