Abstract

The phenomenon of banking entrepreneurship has become one of the major problems of the banking system today. The banking system is the main source of financing the production sector and the country's economy, but, unfortunately, banks' involvement with entrepreneurship has created serious challenges for their financing of the country's economy. Certainly, one cannot blame entrepreneurship altogether, and if it is performed within the framework of the country's regulations and interests, it can benefit the country's economy under sanctions. The purpose of this study is to extract and identify the factors affecting bank entrepreneurship in Iran. This research is practical in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of data collection. Structural equation and partial least squares methods have also been used to analyze the data. The results confirm ten factors that lead to the creation of entrepreneurship, and has placed each factor under one of the hidden variables of government, central bank, banking performance and macroeconomic environment in regard to the proposed conceptual model. In the end, the most important solutions are suggested.
