Abstract

Given the intense competition, rapid changes, new employee and customer requirements, and the modification of traditional management practices to optimize the capabilities of employees, today's organizations should work towards improving and institutionalizing entrepreneurial enterprise platforms. The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of enterprise entrepreneurship in public and private furniture companies and compare them with regard to the status of the entrepreneurial organization. To this end, various components of organizational entrepreneurship were conducted in order to identify strengths and weaknesses, and decision-makers could, taking into account the results, make appropriate decisions in order to promote organizational entrepreneurship. Regarding the nature of the subject and purpose of the research, this research is a descriptive-survey method in terms of data collection method. The data collection tool was a standardized Margarita Hill questionnaire (2003). The statistical population consisted of 963 human capital (606 individuals in private companies and 357 in government companies) in 14 furniture manufacturing companies (12 private companies and two public companies) in Tehran province, which was determined randomly and with proportional (public and private) assignments, and according to the Kregis-Morgan table, the sample size was determined. To determine the reliability of the questionnaires, Cronbach's alpha method was used in this research. Two independent samples were used to compare organizational entrepreneurship in two areas of the private and public sector. The average enterprise entrepreneurship rating in government companies was 1.612 and in private companies were 154.77. Standard deviations in public corporations were 78.88 and for private companies were 76.25. The results of the independent t-test showed that the comparison of the mean of organizational entrepreneurship between the two groups of public and private furniture companies at the level of 99% is significant.
