The population under study consisted of senior students, of whom 143 students were selected as the participants in the sample using Bartlett table. The instruments used in this study were a number of questionnaires whose validity and reliability were tested using the expert panel and structural equation modeling, respectively. The results indicated that the participants’ entrepreneurial willingness was at an average level. Besides, the participants’ low satisfaction with themselves and exclusion of entrepreneurship in career options were problematic for them. The results of structural modeling showed that norms, belief in self-efficacy, and attitudes have a positive impact on entrepreneurial willingness, respectively. According to the structural model, achievement motivation and subjective norms have a direct and positive effect on internal control and the latter, in turn, affects the belief in self-efficacy. Entrepreneurial internship, creative problem solving, entrepreneurial fairs emphasizing new products, self-regulated learning strategies, and development of entrepreneurial culture via producing documentary films are also discussed in detail in this study.https://www.oajre.ir/article_125028_b62b25801a53795cb2fe1ede7067f0de.pdfIranian Business Management AssociationInternational Journal of Resistive Economics2345-49548120200101Social Entrepreneurship, A New Approach in Business1530125029ENMohammad RezaBabaei FishaniTechnology Trends Aliabad Katoul Branch, Islamic Azad University, Aliabad Katoul, Iran.EbrahimAbbasiDepartment of Management, Aliabad Katoul Branch, Islamic Azad University, Aliabad Katoul, Iran.Journal Article20210126The social entrepreneurship term is used for to refer to the rapid growth of organizations which suggest models based on human needs for efficiency in existing markets and institutions which have failed to satisfy them.

Indeed curriculum is a means to implementation of environment educations so that students can develop their concepts and environmental perceptions and through this understanding communicate with their daily life and since all aspects of the environment are associated with each other, obtain a knowledge and understanding. This study aims to look at the role of environmental education in an electronic form from the perspective of different approaches of curriculum taken in Iran. In this study, data have been analyzed in a review, qualitative, interpretation and based on available documents. The theoretical framework of this study is based on the views and beliefs that show the positive role of e-learning methods in the field of environment from the perspective of different approaches to the curriculum. The curriculum has approaches that miller placed them in the continuum of behavioral to meta-individual approaches. That is the various approaches in which different approaches based on philosophical and historical foundations, different ways of interacting components of outlined program and the planners for the way of teaching accompanied with the goals, content, teacher, learner evaluation methods, physical environment, timing and rules and regulations draw specific strategies. The results showed that however, in approaches such as behavioral or disciplinary subject, the main focus of the program is based on the topics to develop knowledge or skills. In humanistic and meta-individual approaches the emphasis is on self-actualization and transcendence and spirituality. Accordingly the use of new technology and training in an electronic form is different in the various approaches while some educational experts emphasize development of this type of training, particularly in the environment and they review amount of attention to this type of training as the best way to institutionalize positive habits for learning and having a positive attitude toward the environment they know.

It is also notified that considering the effects of these factors and their relations to water inputs and reciprocal influences during consuming production inputs is very important. In this research water use efficiency is studied economically. Moreover, in the first step DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) is applied to evaluate the technical efficient and use of water resources. In the second step, using Logit Model the led factors to efficient use of water will be recognized. To do so, the information of 103 wheat cultivator is analysed in Shahindej, West-Azerbaijan in 2013-2014 during farming season. The results show that the average of water consuming in this region is low, about 56/3%. Variables like literacy level, the importance of water economizing, the soil and irrigation system types are positive. On the other hand, variables such as the age and area of field have negative effects on the efficient of irrigation water based on the consonant efficient to the scale. According to these findings, it seems that implementing classes in improving the functions of studied units and costing irrigation policy are very effective.https://www.oajre.ir/article_125031_57732194dd1ff604034818efa5a9c2e7.pdfIranian Business Management AssociationInternational Journal of Resistive Economics2345-49548120200101Application of Interval Type-2 Fuzzy DEMATEL for Evaluation of Environmental Good Governance Components5169125032ENLayaOlfatDepartment of Management and Economics, Allameh Tabataba'i University, Tehran, Iran.MahsaPishdar, Department of Management and Economics, Allameh Tabataba'i University, Tehran, Iran.Journal Article20190623<strong>ABSTRACT</strong><strong>: </strong>Elaborating an effective solution for improving the quality of environment has gained attentions. Governments have interests in investing in environmental sustainable activities. Despite of these kinds of attempts and introduction of environmental good governance, green issues require a continuous study in the field to gain an advantage. Current study has investigated the components of environmental governance by usage of interval type-2 fuzzy DEMATEL. It has been distinguished that agency and Adaptiveness from elements of environmental governance can determine the changes of the whole system. Besides, there are knowledge, norm, power and scale which play roles as crosscutting themes and their footprints are specified in all the elements. The results show that knowledge and norms have the ability to change the other crosscutting themes while power is more influenced by others. Such findings can help scholars to figure out how they can make the environmental governance have better performance.https://www.oajre.ir/article_125032_3c9030a3b66a42015b2e33c05384beff.pdfIranian Business Management AssociationInternational Journal of Resistive Economics2345-49548120200101Assessing the Impact of ICT on the Quality of the Environment in Iran and the Countries of the Persian Gulf7078125033ENArashKetabforoush BadriFaculty of Management and Accounting, Qazvin Branch, Islamic Azad University, Qazvin, Iran.MohammadTaheriDepartment of Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Natural Resource, Tarbiat Modares University, Noor, Mazandaran, Iran.RaminYahyaviEducation Management, Faculty of Management, Marand Branch, Islamic Azad University, Marand, Iran.Journal Article20190621In recent decades, information and communication technology (ICT) have created massive social and economic changes in all spheres. ICT impacts on the environment can be of different dimensions. So that it can be expected that the use of technology can have a positive effect on the environment or vice versa and can have a devastating impact on environmental sustainability. Therefore, this study attempts to assess effects of ICT on quality of the environment in Iran and 7 countries in the Persian Gulf area in the period 2005 to 2012, using panel data methods. The results show that telephone lines as ICT indicators have negative and significant effect, GDP per capita variable positive effect and concentration of population and GDP per capita squared had negative effects on quality of the environment. Also it should be noted, the obtained results have approved the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis.https://www.oajre.ir/article_125033_db417883a8403e73885c02b09c48e9fa.pdf
