Intrapreneurship refers to an entrepreneurial activity that is performed by an employee, who already works in the firm. The phenomenon has several antecedents that create the optimal organizational climate and structure to foster innovativeness on the firm level, which result in product/service and process innovations. Firms' innovativeness is a sub-dimension of intrapreneurship concept and it is defined as the engagement capacity of the product and new market development. In this regard, the basic aim of this research is to determine the effects of intrapreneurships' antecedents in organizations on firms' innovativeness and to demonstrate the controlling effect of the firm size. The results of the research indicate that there is a positive and significant relationship between intrapreneurships' antecedents and firms' innovativeness; in addition, firm size has a controlling effect on these phenomena. Among all the antecedents, as 'managerial and organizational encouragement', 'individual motivation', 'transparency, openness and communality' and 'encouragement to innovation' and 'development' have a positive and significant relationship, on the contrary, 'enabling working environment' and 'individual competence' has a negative relationship with firms' innovativeness.
