Abstract
Purpose: Corporate entrepreneurship, as one of the most extensive types of entrepreneurships, provides conditions in organizations that make the process of its implementation faster, more convenient and more effective. Therefore, in this research, we aimed to design and validate a model for corporate entrepreneurship based on information technology in Iran's state organizations.
Methodology: This research used the mixed method (qualitative-quantitative) and applied approach. The statistical population included managers and deputy managers of the Student Affairs Organization together with other government managers and faculty members of entrepreneurship and management fields, whom we selected by purposive sampling method. Applying qualitative analysis of the theme and structural-interpretive modelling methods, data were analysed. Besides, we validated the final model through partial least squares method. In qualitative and quantitative phases, we used Maxqda software, and MicMac and Smart Pls softwares, respectively.
Findings: Results show that entrepreneurial leadership and information technology affect the establishment of entrepreneurial culture. The establishment of entrepreneurial culture affects the entrepreneurial orientation and ambidexterity of information technology; consequently, it leads to an agile organizational structure. By improving the structure, one can achieve the development of training and technological knowledge as well as the technological empowerment of employees. Finally, through the improvement of the entrepreneurial behaviour of the employees, the development of corporate entrepreneurship in the public organizations will be viable.
Originality: So far, no research conducted in Iran has focused on the organizational entrepreneurship model based on information technology.
Recommendations: Public policy makers can establish the necessary rules and regulations for realizing corporate entrepreneurship in state organizations according to the findings of the research.
