Abstract :

Research findings have revealed that entrepreneurial trends in Iranian state organizations have not succeeded and to rectify the situation entails reforming enhancing human resource management policies. Thus, based on Mirsepasi’s Model which is one of the underlying principles of human resource management system, the present study intended to offer an appropriate model for absorbing, supplying and adjusting human resources that can promote entrepreneurship in Iranian state organizations. To this end, the service compensation system, job design and employment management were selected from Mirsepasi’s Model and considered via confirmatory factor analysis. Based on expert judgement and Scott’s reliability coefficient, innovation, proactivity and flexibility were also selected as dimensions of corporate entrepreneurship in Iranian public sectors. The research population consisted of 18 active ministries of the Islamic Republic of Iran that were stratified into five categories of educational, economic, political-authoritative, cultural, welfare and general service ministries. Unit of analysis in this study was managers and experts in human resource management departments who were selected using convenience sampling from a single randomly selected ministry from each category. Further, the entrepreneurial hindrances were considered in human resource absorption, supply and adjustment employing LISREL software. The Model presented here is claimed to support innovation, proactivity and flexibility as identified aspects of entrepreneurship in state organizations via service compensation system employment recruitment and job design.
