Abstract
Although previous research has demonstrated the positive relationship between self-efficacy and intrapreneurial behavior, there is an imperative need to examine this relationship in the remote work environment. Considering the potential negative impact of remote work mode on employees, this research intents to explore the effect of employees’ self-efficacy on their intrapreneurial behavior under the moderation effects of work stressors and family distraction during the COVID-19 crisis. To execute this research, empirical data was derived from a technological solutions-based firm by distributing a validated survey among its employees, and in total, 67 employees participated and filled in the survey. Overall, this paper reveals that the effect of self-efficacy on intrapreneurial behavior reduces in extraordinary situations. This effect tends to be lower in the presence of family distractions, and seems to be more robust in a stressful remote work environment. Additionally, a positive correlation between family distractions and work stressors had been explored in this paper. In sum, this study delivers an updated overview to the managers of the challenges faced by remote workers during the COVID-19 crisis, and how these difficulties can be handled and minimized. As well as encourages managers to foster a well-supported and collaborative atmosphere for remote workers.
