Abstract
Democratization can be defined as the autonomy of decision-making and unbiased contribution, and access to data and information. Therefore, public sector democratization can give more liberty to the public sector employees to trigger original viewpoints that can initiate a more innovative and ambitious-driven work environment. Such democratization can create governmental, corporate entrepreneurship where public servants can explore entrepreneurial opportunities. The process is similar to knowledge-based business transformation, where organizational culture needs to change to achieve better use of knowledge and human resources management. In this paper, such a modification will be adopted by implementing a Holistic Model for governmental entrepreneurship, by integrating the Kotter’s Model for change management, the Self-determination Theory for employee motivation, and Democratic Governmental Intrapreneurship Model (DeGIM) for knowledge management. The paper is based on data and information from the Balkan’s region public sector and sets the base for future adaptation elsewhere.
