The present study aimed to analyze the perception of employees in companies within the automotive service sector in Gama-DF regarding Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO), understood as a set of behaviors associated with innovation, autonomy, proactiveness, and risk-taking. The research employed a quantitative approach, applied through a structured questionnaire with 14 statements on a Likert scale, adapted from seminal authors such as Miller and Friesen (1982) and Lumpkin and Dess (1996). The sample was composed of employees from small automotive companies located in the Multiple Activities Sector (Setor de Múltiplas Atividades). Data were analyzed via SPSS using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. The results indicated that hierarchical level and length of service are variables significantly associated with the perception of EO. Employees in management positions perceive greater autonomy and openness to risk, while the operational level reports limited participation and an absence of structured policies to incentivize innovation. It is concluded that the predominant organizational culture remains centralizing, lacking formal mechanisms to foster intrapreneurship at all levels.
