Abstract
This research was conducted with the aim of factors affecting organizational entrepreneurship in the Tehran Metro Rail Industry: Intelligence in Entrepreneurial Behaviors with a mixed exploratory approach. In the qualitative stage, concepts were identified and extracted using the purposive sampling method and 9 semi-structured interviews with senior managers of the metro rail industry. Data analysis in the qualitative section was carried out using a data-driven approach with open, axial and selective coding methods. Concepts, categories and dimensions emerging from within the data were studied until saturation was reached and were categorized into six dimensions of axial phenomena, causal conditions, background and intervening factors, drivers and consequences based on the Strauss and Corbin model. The statistical population in the quantitative section is 7300 employees of the rail transportation industry, and the sample size was estimated to be 365 people using the Morgan table. After extracting concepts in the qualitative section, the model was validated using structural equation modeling based on SPSS and PLS software. A questionnaire compiled from the outputs of the qualitative section was used to validate the model, and the reliability of the research through Cronbach's alpha for all variables is higher than 0.780, which indicates the desired reliability of the research tool.
