However, little research examined influences of HPWS on intrapreneurial behavior (IPB). This study examines recognized company support (RCS) as mediating effect on the relationship between HPWS and IPB. A survey sent to mature, big-sized German organizations generated data. HPWS comprised training, compensation, decision-making, and job security, RCS comprised emotional and material support. Mediation revealed a significant positive impact of HPWS on IPB. RCS mediated the effect partially. This research added value considering big-sized, mature German organizations previously disregarded by research. Moreover, material support was never considered as mediating variable.engIntrapreneurshipIntrapreneurial behaviorHigh-performance work systemsRecognized company supportGerman organizationsmaster thesis203313313
