Although previous research works show that, in average, the financial performance of companies with good internal climate is higher than the others, not all companies that invest in organizational climate see their performance overcoming their competitors at the same size and industry. The theory presented in this research suggests that good organizational climate is not enough to reach superior performance, therefore the organization should create the elements for the rising of entrepreneurial initiatives from the employees. To defend this theory, the study evaluates the relation among intrapreneurship and organizational climate charcateristics and financial performance, through the usage of a database obtained from FIA/USP (Administration Instituto Foundation at São Paulo State University), elaborated for the Best Place to Work For Annual Guide preparation that has included, in the 2008 version, specific questions about intrapreneurship and consider financial data of the years 2005, 2006 and 2007. The theoretical references which the study is based in consider previous studies that establish the relationship between organizational climate and performance, conceptualizes intrapreneurship and provide constructs definitions that launches de founding elements of the variables utilized at the research. The statistical results obtained through multiple regression analysis and analysis of covariances (ANCOVA) confirm the theory that, for companies at the same size and industry, intrapreneurial characteristics explain financial performance better than organizational climate characteristics. As the conclusion, we come up with suggestions for companies to reach higher performance by adopting actions to create an environment that foster employees innovative and entrepreneurial behavior within the organization.
