Abstract: This study examines the critical impact of adopting corporate entrepreneurship (CE) in the public organisations on the level of innovative performance (IP). Several studies examined the impact of adopting CE on the organisation performance in the private sector. However, it is noted that insufficient studies investigated thoroughly entrepreneurship in the public sector and its reflections on IP under the critical impact of knowledge sharing. A quantitative study was held by a validated questionnaire on the Jordanian Social Security Corporation. The structural equation modelling technique is adopted to analyse the purposeful sample of 300 valid surveys. The outcomes showed that the research model variables explained 72.8% of the variance of the IP variable. Also, it confirmed the significant positive relationship between CE and IP and the significant positive relationship between organisational support factors and CE. Moreover, these results contribute to the existing body of knowledge on CE by linking it to IP in public organisations.

Keywords: corporate entrepreneurship; public sector; innovative performance; knowledge sharing; organisational support.
