Abstract:

Regional endogenous development can be reached through the interaction of regional entrepreneurship along with other variables such as leadership, institutions, market-fit and resource endowment. In this way, regional entrepreneurship is one of the mediating variables of endogenous regional development and can facilitate the process of achieving development like a catalyst. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between these factors in endogenous development through analyzing statistics related to case study. Therefore, after determining some criteria and indicators related to main variables of regional entrepreneurship (human capital and new knowledge) from various sources, the existing relationships between the indicators with each other, indicators with variables and independent and mediating variables with dependent variable will be analyzed by using methods such as PLS method and structural equations and relying on available and collected statistical data. Since in the research measurement model, the factor loadings between each of the variables and their indicators are more than 0.4 and also the Cronbach's alpha coefficient and the combined reliability coefficient of each of the variables are more than 0.7, as a result, the reliability of the research model is acceptable. Also the average extracted variance of all variables is greater than 0.5, as a result, the convergent validity of the model is also within the acceptable range; On the other hand, the values on the main diameter of the Fornell and Larcker matrix are larger than all the values in the corresponding column. Therefore, it can be concluded that this model has acceptable divergent validity. the structural model of the research shows a regression coefficient of 0.698 between the two variables of entrepreneurship and regional endogenous development at a significance level of less than 5%, which proves the relationship between these two variables and as a result the research hypothesis at an acceptable significance level. At the end of the research and by proving the mediator role of entrepreneurship in the process of regional endogenous development, the development level of all the Tehran counties has been shown based on the research data and statistics, and then policies and action plans aimed at improving the development level of less developed counties based on entrepreneurship have been suggested.
