Résumé
In this chapter we intend to analyse the characteristics of entrepreneurial employees. These
employees show characteristics of dynamism, innovation, personal development and ongoing
adaptation, which allow the concept of entrepreneur to move beyond the traditional concept
linked exclusively to business people. In the literature we can find studies of different models
explaining entrepreneurial conduct both as regards personal characteristics and the cultural
characteristics of the societies to which organisations belong. In addition, there are
organisational variables which may develop entrepreneurial behaviour. Both factors
(individual and organisational) constitute a promising future area for study and research in the
area of organisations.
