Effectiveness of entrepreneurship education in manufacturing industries

The present study seeks to investigate the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education in the manufacturing industry, which either examines the use of structural equation modeling.

The present research method is descriptive (non-experimental) and the research design is structural correlation equation using partial least squares method. The statistical population of the research in the quantitative part includes all managers and experts of manufacturing industries in Tehran. In the quantitative part of the research, stratified random sampling method and to estimate a sufficient number of samples in this research, Cochran's sample estimation formula has been used. The statistical population of the study consists of 5691 people. The number of statistical samples of research based on Cochran's formula includes 384 managers and experts in the manufacturing industry.

The research findings showed that educational program design, educational needs assessment, learner preparation, strengthening skills, building context and strengthening social connections have a significant effect on the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education. Finally, the research model leads to the consequences of increasing individual creativity, increasing productivity and daring to take risks. The findings showed that the tested model is able to predict the amount (0.613) of the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education and also in the current research for the tested model the absolute fit index (GOF) was obtained as 0.41, the value obtained for this The fit index is an indicator of the fit of the tested pattern.

The results of the study of extracted variance values of hidden variables of the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education in manufacturing industries showed that the convergent validity of measuring instruments was confirmed using the extracted mean variance index and the model was acceptable and generalizable.
