Abstract

 
The aim of this study was to design an organizational entrepreneurship model in the Ministry of Sport and Youth of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Organizational strategy and structure (the internal organizational factors affecting entrepreneurship) were considered as the predicting variables and the psychological empowerment was considered as the mediator factor. The statistical population included all experts and managers of the Ministry of Sport and Youth (N=430) and 203 subjects were selected as the samples by stratified random sampling method. To assess internal organizational factors and organizational entrepreneurship, Haghshenas questionnaire (reliability =0.87) and to assess psychological empowerment of employees, Spritzer questionnaire (reliability coefficient=0.81, 12 items) were used. For the analysis of data, statistical methods including one-sample t test and path analysis were used. Finally, the LISREL software was used to design the model. The results showed that the levels of structure, strategy, organizational entrepreneurship and psychological empowerment were less than average. Also, there was a positive and significant relationship between each of the internal organizational factors and the organizational entrepreneurship and psychological empowerment. The model of their relationship had a good fit. These results indicate that the Ministry of Sport and Youth lack the entrepreneurial structure and strategy.
