IntroductionRapid growth and ever-changing societies, has made the necessity of training skilled, specialized and entrepreneurial human resources inevitable. In the education system, vocational schools have an important role in training skilled manpower for jobs required by society and the labor market. The main purpose of this research was to identify the dimensions of entrepreneurial competencies of vocational schools in Hormozgan province. MethodThis research is applied in terms of purpose and was conducted base on framework of qualitative approach. To this purpose, 11 academic experts and knowledgeable people were selected with a purposeful sampling strategy based on data saturation and interviewed in a semi-structured way. To analyze the stements of the interview sessions, three-step coding was used. To ensure the validity of the research used of triangulation of the data sources and reviewed by members (interviewees) methods. Also, to calculate reliability were used of the retest and the agreement between the two coder methods. After implementing the content of the interviews and their preliminary analysis, Codes or basic concepts were identified and In order to achieve the main categories, similar codes are placed on specific categories. Finally, for each of the categories, the title that contains the entire codes was select.ResultsThe results of this study led to the extraction of 4 dimensions which are: Personality (individual) competencies, managerial and leadership competencies, technical-professional competencies and cultural competencies.DiscussionThe main purpose of establishing vocational schools is to train entrepreneurial graduates. The four main dimensions of this research can be an effective effective factor in improving the entrepreneurial competencies of vocational schools and have beneficial results in improving the educational quality of vocational schoolsDiscussionThe main purpose of establishing vocational schools is to train entrepreneurial graduates. The four main dimensions of this research can be an effective effective factor in improving the entrepreneurial competencies of vocational schools and have beneficial results in improving the educational quality of vocational schools

The present study was conducted to fit the mathematical-structural model of knowledge commercialization in Payame Noor University. This research is quantitative and based on correlation method using Structural Equation Model (SEM) approach. Statistical population consisted of all faculty members and PhD students in Payame Noor University. In this research, the required data were collected by using the proportional stratified sampling method in two stages, pilot stage (100 participants including 79 faculty members and 21 PhD students) and main stage (245 participants including 200 faculty members and 51 PhD students). A research instrument comprising the researcher-made 114-item questionnaire designed to measure seven existing constructs in research model. Psychometric properties, including reliability and validity, measures of research instrument were evaluated and supported by using the confirmatory factor analysis approach on the data of preliminary stage. In order to analyses the data in the main stage, first by means of data screening (including box plot, Mahalonobis statistic, uni- and multivariate Skewness and Kurtosis coefficients, and scatter plot) the position of outliers' data and assumptions underlying Structural Equation Model (SEM) statistical approach were also investigated. Then, by using a statistical approach of structural equation model, the way the model was fitted and mathematical-structural relationships between its existing constructs were tested. The results showed that preliminary fitted model requires some reforms in format involving deleting of 8 direct insignificant paths among its constructs as well as adding paths of correlation variance errors between indicators of the model endogenous constructs. Thus, the final modified model was perfectly fitted.

The present study aims to design a conceptual model for commercialization of knowledge in the system of higher education with the study put the payame Noor University was carried out. Research method, is Qualitative and based on Grounded Theory with the systematic approach. The statistical population consists of all members of Faculty and specialized doctoral students' payame noor university. On the this research, theoretical purposive sampling method was used in such a way that using the 29 subjective (19 members of the Faculty and 10 doctoral students) the data required that to theoretical saturated were reached was assemble. The research instrument was also included half-structured interview. In order to analyze the data from the three-stage process of coding based on a systematic approach of grounded theory was used. The implementation of open coding process was led to the identification of the 133 concept (the initial open codes) and summarize their in the form of 8 main categories with 33 subcategories (the secondary open codes). Then, paradigm model based on the axial coding process in the form of the causal conditions (environmental capabilities), the contextual conditions (organizational capabilities), the intervening conditions (individual knowledge builder features, characteristics of productived knowledge and knowledge customers), the core phenomenon (knowledge commercialization), strategies (designing and implementation of facilititater mechanisms) and consequences (society of knowledge-based) were graph and finally, The conceptual ultimate model of research using the selective coding process in the form of propositions that had narrative the relationship between the main categories were depicted.
