Using a sample of 151 employees from three government organizations, we tested a model of corporate entrepreneurship that is influenced by individual characteristics (represented by the five factor model of personality), context (represented by the firm's memory and learning orientation), and process (represented by the facets of the Corporate Entrepreneurship Assessment Instrument). Our results indicated that contextual and process variables influenced corporate entrepreneurship while the individual characteristics did not. Moreover, corporate entrepreneurship did mediate the relationship between these antecedents and job satisfaction, affective commitment, and performance.
