Abstract Based on self-regulation theory, using 266 two-stage survey data recovered from 16 technology-based enterprises, the study explored the relationship between perceived overqualification and employee intrapreneurship and investigated the mediating effect of intrapreneurial self-efficacy and the moderating effect of chronic regulatory focus. The results showed that perceived overqualification had an inverted U-shaped relationship with employee intrapreneurship and this relationship was mediated by intrapreneurial self-efficacy, while chronic regulatory focus moderates this mediating effect. Specifically, when the chronic regulatory focus was dominated by prevention focus, the curvilinear indirect effect of perceived overqualification on employee intrapreneurship mediated by intrapreneurial self-efficacy was stronger, while such curvilinear indirect effect became weaker when the chronic regulatory focus was dominated by promotion focus.
