Exploring the Interplay between Organizational Culture, Intrapreneurship, and Performance in Young and Mature Startups

In a rapidly evolving entrepreneurial landscape, Tunisian startups must rely on their ability to innovate and adapt quickly. This study examines how organizational culture shapes intrapreneurship and business performance while considering startup age as a moderating factor. By analyzing data from 91 Tunisian startups using structural equation modeling, we demonstrate that organizational culture fosters intrapreneurship and enhances overall performance. However, intrapreneurship does not act as a direct mediator between culture and performance.
