Abstract: Need for achievement is an element of the personality of entrepreneurs which can be important
for the inception, development, and business performance of small firms. Intrapreneurship can be
developed in small firms because of the level of need for achievement possessed by entrepreneurs, and
can influence firm growth. Hypotheses are stated and empirically tested on the basis of responses to a
structured questionnaire completed by a sample of Slovenian small and medium-sized enterprises in
tourism and trade. The research results indicate positive relationships between the need for achievement
of the female entrepreneur and intrapreneurship, and between intrapreneurship and firm growth.
Keywords: Need for achievement, entrepreneur, intrapreneurship, growth, tourism, trade
