The presentation of a model which investigates and explains the role of mortmain properties (waqf) on government size in the economy, with an emphasis on the role of social entrepreneurship

The present research seeks to investigate, identify and explain the impact of mortmain properties or waqf on government size in the economy. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the application of this role while employing the Descriptive-Survey Method. The text of the interviews and the background of the research was analyzed using the Theme Analysis Method. Furthermore, the questionnaire and the investigation of the role of social entrepreneurship as a mediator variable, was assessed by the use of structural equations and the Amos Software. The statistical community is made up of experts in the field of economics and management. In this study, the sample size for the interview was 18 people and the number of samples for the questionnaire, based on the application of purposeful sampling, was 62 people. The Cronbach alpha deduced was 0.812, which indicates that the reliability of the questionnaire was appropriate. The research findings show, in order to minimize government through waqf, social factors including "educational factors" and "cultural factors", and process factors including "developmental factors" and " health factors", should be considered as waqf accelerators. In addition, the role waqf plays, as a mediator variable, in social entrepreneurship which leads to the minimization of the government, should be emphasized.
