Abstract: Using a sample of 101 managers, an attempt is made to assess and validate the Intrapreneurship Scale developed by Lessem way back in 1988. This scale comprised seven conceptually defined dimensions, namely, adventurer, innovator, designer (enabler), leader, entrepreneur, change agent and animateur. The study concluded that the alpha coefficients at the item level as well as the overall alpha and split half reliabilities establish the relevance and usefulness of four out of seven dimensions. These are adventurer, innov ator, entrepreneur and animateur. However, the other three dimensions, i.e., designer, leader and change agent subscales showed relatively poor consist ency estimates. In the context of all future researches, the authors suggest that there is a need to assess more extensively the intrinsic properties of the Intrapreneurship Scale using the interval level measurement more than the ordinal level measurement.
