O impacto do empreendedorismo corporativo no desempenho do projeto: o papel do compartilhamento de conhecimento e da confiança da equipe

Abstract

Many projects are still evaluated based on the iron triangle (cost, time, and scope). However, recent research highlights the complexity of project performance beyond these measures, incorporating stakeholder satisfaction and contributions to the company's strategic objectives. Corporate entrepreneurship is generally associated with innovation capacity and the ability to adapt quickly to market changes, enabling the creation of new opportunities within organizations while leveraging existing resources and support to innovate, improve processes, and generate new business. In companies, knowledge sharing is one of the most fundamental activities, involving identification and access to information for use in specific tasks and facilitating the exchange of knowledge, including information, reports, skills, and experiences acquired over time. Therefore, this dissertation aims to assess the role of knowledge sharing and project team trust in the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship and project performance. To achieve this objective, the research was conducted through an electronic survey with 99 respondents. Data were collected between November and December 2024, and the scales used were previously validated in the literature, undergoing a back-translation process assisted by artificial intelligence. Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with the SmartPLS 4 software. The results indicate the rejection of the direct effect between corporate entrepreneurship and project performance, demonstrating that this relationship occurs indirectly through trust and knowledge sharing. This finding advances the understanding of the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship and project performance, showing that merely encouraging entrepreneurial behavior is not sufficient to improve project outcomes. Instead, fostering an organizational environment based on team trust and structured knowledge sharing is necessary.
