The aim of the research is to explore the influence of democratic-participative management style on the intrapreneurship tendencies of employees. A survey is conducted with 136 employees working in the aviation sector. Survey data are analysed using multiple regression analysis. The reliability of the intrapreneurship scale and democratic-participative management style scale is found to be high (Cronbach's alpha = .915 and .942). According to the results of the regression analysis, the democratic-participative management style has a statistically significant, positive and high-level effect on the proactiveness dimension of intrapreneurship (p <.001). There is no significant effect on autonomy and risk taking dimensions
