Tactlessly, research works on corporate entrepreneurship (CE)competencies have not considered the mediating and moderating roles of employees perceived feasibility and desirability, respectively, while researching on intrapreneurial behaviour (Afriyie et al. 2020: Arunga 2017: Tatana andGelb 2014 Weaven 2016). Considering CE from the employee perspectives and how the antecedents of CE (organisational and environmental factors) initiate CE competencies will help to throw more light on the link between the three constructs and their influence on CE competencies of employees in the presence of firm structure, management support, resource availability, competitive intensity, technological changes, and market dynamics (Afriyie, 2019 Zarefard and Jeong, 2019).

Furthermore, the few research works on SMEs in Ghana and other developing countries have rather looked at external issues such as access to credit, government support, and policies other than CE competencies (Adu-Darko 2017Afriyie 2019). Though the CE competencies of employees areimportant to the success of SMEs, researchers noted that an assessment of these competencies is still lacking (Chan et al2017 De Jong et al. 2019; Vargas-Halab et al 2017). Again, although the subject of CE antecedents has been examined in the literature, De Jong et al (2019) holds that, in practice, knowledge about antecedents of intrapreneurial behaviours and their influence on CE competencies of employees of SMEs is still deficient; not to mention the moderating and mediating roles underplayed by employees feasibility and desirability perceptions, respectively.
