  Media Entrepreneurship is a novel topic that has recently drawn the attention of scholars in the filed of entrepreneurship, media, and management. This domain investigates the topics related to media markets and entrepreneurs who are active in these markets, as well as a series of issues which are significantly influential. The role of social networks in development of entrepreneurship is of paramount importance, and these social networks pave the way for individuals who could potentially be entrepreneurs in the society. But, in order to investigate the effect of these social networks in more details one should measure the various dimensions of social networks. Thus, in this research we investigate the impact of social networks on entrepreneurial intentions. To do so, we used the bee house model as the theoretical framework. The research population includes firms in creative industries, and 236 questionnaires were filled. The research method was quantitative and Smart PLS was used to analyze the data. The results showed that identity, presence, sharing, fame, groups, relations and conversation positively affected entrepreneurial intention of respondents. Findings of the research could be used by policymakers and practitioners in the field of media, and promote the level of entrepreneurial attention in the society. Manuscript profile

  In the dawn of this new era and the development of knowledge-based economy, entrepreneurship has been recognized as a fundamental factor in the economic progress of countries. Hence, the aim of this research was to investigate the impact of students' entrepreneurial social identity on their entrepreneurial intention, considering the mediating role of entrepreneurial self-efficacy, using the structural equation method. The statistical population of this research was male and female students of Urmia Technical and Vocational University in the academic year 1399-1400, who had completed entrepreneurship units in their courses. As a census, Linan and Chen's (2009) standard entrepreneurial intention questionnaire, Di-Nabel et al.'s (1999) entrepreneurial self-efficacy questionnaire, and Zeiger et al.'s (2016) entrepreneurial identity questionnaire were administered to all students. Finally, 267 questionnaires were examined as a sample. The results indicated that there exists a statistically significant positive relationship between the entrepreneurial social identity of the students in both dimensions of Darwinian identity and Missionarie identity and their entrepreneurial intention (p < 0.05). Furthermore, it was found that entrepreneurial self-efficacy plays a mediating role in this relationship (p < 0.001). Therefore, it is recommended that in providing entrepreneurship trainings and also in the related policies, the compatibility of these trainings with students’ social identity style should be taken into consideration in order to increase their entrepreneurial productivity.

  افزایش نرخ بیکاری در میان دانش­آموختگان نظام آموزش عالی کشاورزی ایران به مهم­ترین مشکل اجتماعی- اقتصادی روز کشور تبدیل شده است. با توجه به این­که کارآفرینی عاملی مهم در جهت کمک به توسعه اقتصادی و اجتماعی است و هم­چنین یکی از عوامل پیش­برندۀ ایجاد اشتغال محسوب می­شود؛ بسیاری از سیاست­مدران و برنامه­ریزان در ایران تلاش نموده­اند که با برنامه­ها و طرح­های مختلف، دانشجویان کشاورزی را به سمت انتخاب حرفه­ای کارآفرینانه سوق دهند. در این راستا، با توجه به اهمیت کارآفرینی و با استفاده از تئوری رفتار برنامه­ریزی شده آجزن (1991)، مطالعۀ حاضر با هدف بررسی عوامل مؤثر بر رفتار کارآفرینانۀ دانشجویان کشاورزی در دانشگاه رازی انجام شد. جامعۀ آماری پژوهش شامل تمام دانشجویان سال چهارم کارشناسی رشته­های کشاورزی در دانشگاه رازی بود (N=300)، که 169 نفر از آن­ها به روش نمونه­گیری تصادفی طبقه­ای با انتساب متناسب برای مطالعه انتخاب شدند. داده­ها با استفاده از نرم­افزارهای SPSSwin23 و AMOS23 در دو بخش آمار توصیفی و استنباطی تجزیه و تحلیل شدند. نتایج حاصل از مدل­سازی معادلات ساختاری نشان داد که نگرش نسبت به کارآفرینی، کنترل رفتاری درک­شده و هنجارهای ذهنی پیش­بینی­کننده­های اصلی نیت و رفتار کارآفرینانه دانشجویان کشاورزی بودند. نتایج این مطالعه دستاوردهای کاربردی مناسبی برای  کمک به مدیران، برنامه­ریزان و آموزشگران نظام آموزش عالی کشاورزی کشور  در جهت ترویج نیت و رفتار کارآفرینانه در بین دانشجویان کشاورزی دارد.  Manuscript profile

  هدف از این مطالعه بررسی مدل توسعه یافته نظریه رفتار برنامه‌ریزی شده در حوزه‌ی کارآفرینی پایدار و شناسایی مهمترین عوامل تأثیرگذار بر قصد کارآفرینی پایدار بود. به‌ویژه، این مطالعه به دنبال توسعه نظریه رفتار برنامه‌ریزی شده  از طریق افزودن جهت‌گیری پایداری و دانش پایداری پیشین بود. داده‌ها از 211 دانشجوی کشاورزی ایران گرد‌آوری شد. نتایج مدل‌سازی معادلات ساختاری نشان داد که قصد کارآفرینانه پایدار با نگرش نسبت به کارآفرینی پایدار و کنترل رفتاری درک شده رابطه مثبت و معنی‌داری دارد اما رابطه بین هنجارهای ذهنی و قصد کارآفرینانه پایدار معنی‌دار نبود. تجزیه و تحلیل میانجی هم نشان داد که جهت‌گیری پایداری و دانش پیشین پایداری بر قصد کارآفرینی پایدار به طور غیرمستقیم از طریق نگرش نسبت به کارآفرینی پایدار و کنترل رفتاری درک شده تأثیر داشته است. به عنوان یک پیشنهاد کاربردی می‌توان گفت آموزشگرانی که به دنبال ترویج راه‌اندازی کسب و کارهای پایدار هستند، باید نه تنها به نقش محوری نگرش نسبت به کارآفرینی پایدار و کنترل رفتاری درک شده فراگیران توجه کنند بلکه همچنین باید جهت‌گیری پایداری و دانش پایداری پیشین آنها را در نظر بگیرند.
