Abstract

The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive picture of the organizational factors affecting the entrepreneurial university through the synthesis of literature. The research method was qualitative with a meta-synthesis approach. To this end, after the exploration of the databases in the period 1998-2017, 325 articles were collected in the field of entrepreneurial university, and finally 65 articles that directly examined the subject of entrepreneurial university were selected through a purposive sampling method and were included in the analysis phase. To analyze the data, coding method was used. Analyzing the findings of previous researchers and synthesizing the results, 21 codes, 10 concepts, and 5 factors were identified and validated through Kappa coefficient and the importance and priority of the identified codes were determined by Shannon's entropy method. According to the research findings, strong, comprehensive, and supportive leadership, flexible and distinctive structure, entrepreneurial spirit and attitude of members, and entrepreneurial organizational culture had the strongest coefficients of importance in the development of entrepreneurial university. Finally, after the research process was completed, the model of effective organizational components for the entrepreneurial university was generated. The results confirm the important role of leadership and culture in the transformation of universities toward entrepreneurship. By adopting a comprehensive approach, this research provides valuable insights into entrepreneurial universities.
