The purpose of this study is to examine the driving characteristics behind intrapreneurs. Based on the review of literature, locus of control and motivation were found to be significant traits among intrapreneurs. For assessing the same, locus of control orientation inventory & motivational profile inventory was administered on 60 intrapreneurs in the region of Delhi and NCR. The sample was selected from six multi-national organisations using Purposive Random Sampling Technique.Cent percent of the sample indicated internality in locus of control orientation, which appeared to be a common characteristic of those who act as change agents. Findings of the present paper also indicate that majority of the respondents were achievement driven and were likely to be successful intrapreneurs. The paper corroborates the results of past researches. The findings, thus, emphasize the presence of achievement motivation and internal locus of control among intrapreneurs, who fortify organizational success.
