Abstract
Certain structures in the healthcare system hinder the innovative environment for employees. However, innovations are crucial to enable the best possible treatment of patients and to mitigate the increasing cost pressure. Therefore, we are investigating how the quantity and quality of employee-driven ideas can be enhanced in hospitals. Through DSR research, we are developing an incentive mechanism that can be employed in the hospital setting. It is based on the theory of nudging and aims to subtly motivate employees to submit more innovative ideas. The results demonstrate that (1) nudging for intrapreneurship in the healthcare sector is promising, (2) besides the incentive mechanism, organizational enablers are also important for intrapreneurship, and (3) an inspiration wall may combat the challenges present at hospitals hindering intrapreneurship.
