Within this context, in the studies it has been alleged that when intrapreneurship is supported it is likely to obtain performance increase, to create new job opportunities, strategic renewal, and foresee new business expansion opportunities. Here has been a consensus on entrepreneurship literature that people who are prone to be intrapreneurs have a set of common characteristics such as innovativeness, risk taking, proactiveness and autonomy. Considering the fact that in today’s business environment these three generations working together, and contemplating on their differences, our first hypothesis then becomes, if an organization is seeking intrapreneurship from its employees, there will be generational differences regarding the characteristics. While processing, the effects of variables such as educational differences, years of employment, and gender are also investigated. Within the quantitative research design, we employed descriptive statistics, ANOVA and the Kruskal-Wallis H. and tested the proposed hypotheses.
