  Based on the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) surveys and conducting a
panel data estimation to test our hypothesis, this paper examines whether
corruption perceptions might sand or grease the wheels for entrepreneurship
inside companies or intrapreneurship in a sample of 92 countries for the period
2012 to 2019. Our results find that the corruption perception sands the wheel
for intrapreneurship. There is evidence of a quadratic relation, but this
relation is only clear for the less developed countries, which sort of moderate
the very negative effect of corruption for these countries. The results also
confirm that corruption influences differently on intrapreneurship depending on
the level of development of the country.
