There are two principal questions
were addressed in this study: (a) Does an entrepreneurial intensity (i.e.
degree and frequency of entrepreneurial actions inside an organization)
contribute to an individual’s level of job stress? (b) Does role ambiguity mediate
the effect of entrepreneurial intensity on an individual’s level of job stress?
The data for the study have been taken from the top 1.000 industrial
organizations of Turkey as of 2015, a typical example of an emerging economy.
The findings reveal that entrepreneurial intensity (both degree and frequency
of entrepreneurship) consistently contributes to lower role ambiguity and an
individual’s level of job stress. It also demonstrates that role ambiguity
positively affects an individual’s level of job stress and partially mediates
the relationship between the frequency of entrepreneurship and his/her level of
job stress. Based on the results, some managerial implications for practice and
useful suggestions for future research are set forth.
