Abstract
The primary objective of the present study was to investigate and rank entrepreneurship based on the TRIZ innovation model within the university context. In terms of purpose, this research is applied. The statistical population consisted of 1,665 graduate students and assistants at the University of Medical Sciences, whose opinions were utilized in the quantitative section. Based on Cochran's formula, 312 individuals were selected as the statistical sample using a stratified random sampling method based on faculty. Data from the statistical sample were collected via a researcher-developed questionnaire on entrepreneurship based on the TRIZ innovation model. To confirm face validity, the questionnaires were submitted to experts for review and approval. Construct validity was confirmed with factor loadings exceeding 0.5. Furthermore, composite reliability and Cronbach's alpha were calculated above 0.7, confirming reliability. For data analysis, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to examine the normality of data distribution. Additionally, Friedman tests, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were employed. The research findings indicated that the dimensions of the entrepreneurship questionnaire based on the TRIZ innovation model rotated into 11 factors. The dimension "University Vision and Strategy" achieved the highest rank with a mean rank of 6.35.
