Intrapreneurial behaviour are said to be a channel through which innovative skills are shown in the corporate work. In view of this, the authors assessed the effect of three selected work attitudes on intrapreneurial behaviour. These were psychological empowerment, employee commitment and organizational citizenship behaviour. The study conveniently sampled 230 participants who are administrators of organizations in selected municipalities: Ayawaso West-Wuoguon, La-Nkwantanang and Ga East Municipalities. The data was analyzed using structural equation modelling. It was observed that psychological empowerment and organisational citizenship behaviour were positively related to intrapreneurial behaviour whereas employee’s commitment was seen to have a negative significant influence on intrapreneurial behaviour. Implications of the findings for theory and practice are discussed.
