Ali Maher Health Services Management, Educational Center, Tehran Municipality, Tehran, Iran. Journal Article 2022 09 07 Background: Nowadays, entrepreneurship stimulates economical development. It is the center of <br />individual and organizational activities. Since the government in developing countries <br />participates in all areas of cultural and socioeconomic affaires, especially in health services, it is <br />very important to change static organizations into dynamic ones. The aim of this study was to <br />detect factors affecting organizational performance, especially entrepreneurship, in Iranian <br />governmental health system. We also tried to suggest a model to develop entrepreneurial <br />organization. <br />Method: We used stratified random sampling method to select 43 governmental health systems <br />in both regional and national levels. To collect data, a questionnaire, with a Cronbach's alpha of <br />97%, was filled out by high- and middle-ranked executives. Correlation test was applied in SPSS <br />to analyze the data. <br />Results: Overall, 80% of managers responded to the questionnaire. Many factors, including <br />structural, behavioral, and circumstantial factors, were found to affect organizational <br />entrepreneurship in Iranian governmental health system. Based on our results, the mean value of <br />organizational entrepreneurship (3.08) was very low. Customer satisfaction however, scored a bit <br />higher compared to other factors. The low values of other factors such as low income diversity, <br />lack of privatization and research and development groups have led to low organizational <br />entrepreneurship in these organizations. <br />Conclusion: Governmental health system in Iran has not benefited from organizational <br />entrepreneurship. Therefore, a special applicable model, such as the model proposed in this <br />research, is required to develop entrepreneurship in these organizations.
