Abstract:

This study contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship and organizational performance by developing and testing a normative model, which clarifies the nature of the influences of corporate entrepreneurship and its individual, environmental and organizational antecedents on organizational performance. In fact, the purpose of this paper is to identify the key dimensions of corporate entrepreneurship and determine how antecedents influence the corporate entrepreneurship and organizational performance. The empirical paper is based on questionnaire survey and statistical analysis. Mailed structured questionnaire data for this study were collected from agricultural extension organizations in Iran (315 usable responses). Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the collected data. According to the results, individual, organizational and environmental factors are the most important antecedents of corporate entrepreneurship and hypotheses on the relationships among these factors and corporate entrepreneurship were mainly and significantly supported across this study.
