Despite the key role of start-ups in economic development and job creation, one of the biggest problems of these start-up businesses is their legendary failure rate. One of the main reasons for the failure of these businesses is marketing limitations in the form of lack of financial resources, time, market knowledge and marketing expertise. Also, these companies lack strategic plans and their management is based on personal experience and business intuition. Entrepreneurial networking is one of the solutions that have been proposed to solve these limitations, because networking is considered to be the factor of restructuring the world trade architecture.

According to statistics provided by the Small Industries Investment Support Fund in 2017, Iranian businesses accounted for only 10% of the country's export volume. Furthermore, technology-oriented businesses with advanced products made up only 1.5% of Iran's non-oil exports, according to the United Nations Development Fund. This indicates that Iran has not been successful in this area, and its rank in this field is lower than that of other countries in the region. Developed countries, on the other hand, emphasize the expansion of agriculture and technological industries. Therefore, there is a significant performance gap and unfavorable state of Iran's economic drivers when comparing the country's statistics and current position with the lofty goals set. Also, since each of the researches have dealt with specific dimensions of the variables affecting the internationalization of businesses and the lack of research that has discussed the intensity of internationalization in relation to strategic agility and entrepreneurial orientation and digital technologies is felt, And since until the research, these structures have not been examined with this combination, this research is innovative in this sense. The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of digital technologies on the intensity of internationalization of technology-oriented businesses, with the mediating role of strategic agility and the moderating role of entrepreneurial orientation.
The current research is a descriptive-correlational type of research with a practical purpose and data collection through a questionnaire. The statistical population of the research includes technology-oriented businesses in Iran since April 2023, which have a history of exporting. To be considered a technology business, the goods and services of these businesses must be in the field of high or medium to high technologies, and the goods offered must be in production or at least at the level of a laboratory sample (capable of technical review) and services must have sales documents. The population of this research includes 305 employees of these businesses who are active in the fields of international trade. A sample size of 170 people was obtained using available sampling based on Cochran's formula and with an error level of 5% at a confidence level of 95%. The researchers used a 13-item questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale (5 = completely agree to 1 = completely disagree) derived from standard questionnaires to collect information. The relationships between variables were investigated using the SmartPLS3 software and the structural equation modeling method, which is a statistical model to investigate the relationship between latent variables and manifest variables.
The analysis of SmartPLS3 software showed that digital technologies have a direct and positive effect on the intensity of internationalization of technology-based businesses. Entrepreneurial orientation as a moderator and strategic agility as a mediating variable have a positive and significant effect as well. Therefore, businesses, especially technology-oriented ones, should consider the impact of digital technologies on the intensity of internationalization. They should digitize their processes by using digital technologies to enter and operate more successfully in international markets. Additionally, they should increase the intensity of internationalization by raising the level of strategic agility and using entrepreneurial orientation in their activities.
Technology-oriented companies operating in technology-intensive environments can expand the market for their technologies through internationalization of sales. They may do so in response to small, mature, or highly competitive domestic markets, or because they perceive greater opportunities in foreign markets. In general, the internationalization of technology-based firms is likely to increase as the world integrates, trade barriers decrease, and transportation and communications become more efficient. Therefore, the use of digital technologies can help businesses build better relationships with customers and suppliers, improve productivity, and facilitate faster internationalization. Therefore, it is better for businesses to consider their strategic agility while investing in the use of digital technologies so that they can quickly change their innovations according to the demands of customers and obtain specific information from competitors and improve their products. Design and develop faster and send to international markets.

The unpredictability and uncertainty of working conditions have necessitated mechanisms of flexibility and change in current applications of job design theory. Organizations should be able to use their existing capabilities and at the same time acquire new and basic capabilities; In fact, they become ambidextrous. For organizations to become ambidextrous, they need leaders with ambidextrous characteristics who manage changes and simultaneously improve creativity and innovation. In this way, the organizations become adaptable and explorative to realize their mission. The organization's entrepreneurial orientation empowers the workforce and encourages them to redesign their duties actively. On the other hand, social exchanges in organizations highlight the socio-emotional aspect of job relationships, such as feelings and attention.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK:

One of the solutions to provide an outstanding performance is to be explorative and innovative simultaneously with the aid of the organization's structure and design, its human resources, and leadership styles. These issues can be incorporated into a distinct concept called entrepreneurial orientation. Previous research showed that ambidextrous leadership increases the entrepreneurial orientation of an organization. In an organization with high-quality social exchanges, employees are more capable of redesigning their work activities, and thus, the social exchange may moderate the effect of ambidextrous leadership on job crafting.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating role of entrepreneurial orientation and the moderating role of organizational social exchange for ambidextrous leadership-job crafting association. The research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population was comprised of active manufacturing companies located in the industrial towns of Rasht, Lahijan, and Bandar Anzali, among which 121 companies were sampled using the convenience method. The needed data was gathered by distributing questionnaires in the form of an in-person survey. Obtained data were analyzed in SmartPls v.2 and Spss v.28 to test the research hypotheses.

The results of structural equation modeling indicated that entrepreneurial orientation fully mediated the effect of ambidextrous leadership on job crafting. The results of hierarchical regression analysis confirmed the moderating role of social exchange. In other words, the interactional effect of ambidextrous leadership and social exchange and job crafting was also statistically significant.

CONCLUSIONS & SUGGESTIONS:

Job redesign in the form of job crafting is like a white canvas on which employees can determine their work content to have meaningful jobs. Therefore, an organization of high entrepreneurial orientation provides an environment to foster such proactive and creative behaviors in line with job crafting. Ambidextrous leaders create a synergy between explorative and exploitative activities to facilitate entrepreneurial orientation, which in turn leads to job crafting. In an organization of having high-quality social exchanges, employees are more committed to the organization and tend to engage in entrepreneurial behaviors and changes. Therefore, job crafting can be a more likely process for ambidextrous leaders of an organization that has entrepreneurial orientation and high-quality social exchanges.
