Abstract
1- INTRODUCTION
Leadership as one of the important and influencing factors on organizations has been widely studied and researched. The degree of success of the organization in achieving the desired benefits, the amount of motivation and effort of the employees for the success of the organization, the extent of the influence of the organization in its interactive environment, and of course the effectiveness of the leadership, depends on the type and behavior of the leader. Due to the fact that schools usually have a weak external efficiency, their graduates are not able to attract the labor market and therefore they only look for the hope of getting employment by continuing their studies in universities. If business schools with effective leadership are established and developed in the country, the educational efficiency for the graduates will be improved at a significant level in order to enter the labor market and economic activities and job creation. In order to make educational activities entrepreneurial, school management should be reviewed from the perspective of leadership to make business education possible with the approach of entrepreneurship development. Identifying school management from two aspects of organization and learning management is necessary to implement school management with an entrepreneurial approach.
The leadership of business schools with the approach of entrepreneurship development requires attention to both aspects in terms of management and leadership of education and improvement and management and promotion of the teaching-learning system, which has not been studied in this field based on the researcher's search. Considering that steps have been taken to create entrepreneurial schools in Iran, but we need more development in this field; So, we seek to combine this approach with business components in order to complete the creation of ideas and values and innovation with financial literacy and enter the business market based on the guidance and direction of the leader. Therefore, the main problem of the current research is what are the dimensions and components of leadership of business schools with the approach of entrepreneurship development in Iranian schools and what is the appropriate model for it?
2- THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Researches have been carried out either from the perspective of teaching-learning methods for the development of entrepreneurship education, or from the perspective of management and leadership style and their change, improvement and promotion in order to develop entrepreneurial schools and review the paradigm of educational leadership.
3- METHODOLOGY
The study was carried out in a qualitative-synthesis method. The research environment included all domestic and foreign published articles in 2010-2023. Sampling was done in a targeted way until data saturation and in the first stage of 62 articles and finally 53 articles were continued. The tool for collecting information was printed and electronic documents available on reliable domestic and foreign sites. Four methods of credibility, transferability, verifiability, and reliability were used for validity and validation of data. The method of data analysis was based on the classification system of open, organizing and comprehensive concepts. Based on the similarities and differences of the data, categories were made.
4- RESULTS & DISCUSSION
In general, the results showed that the leadership model of the business school with an approach to entrepreneurship development is based on ten dimensions in order of priority (entrepreneurial leadership, excellence-building leadership, collaborative leadership, activist leadership, curriculum leadership, strategic leadership, transformational leadership, brand-building leadership, futuristic leadership, knowledge management leadership) was established.
5- CONCLUSIONS & SUGGESTIONS
The skill training of students is dependent on the development of business schools with an entrepreneurial approach, and these schools need appropriate leadership to manage education. The purpose of this research was to design a business school leadership model with an entrepreneurial development approach. Based on the findings, identifying school management from two organizational aspects and learning management is necessary to implement school management with an entrepreneurial approach. This is despite the fact that some steps have been taken towards the establishment of business schools nationwide, but the evolution of the educational system requires more serious attention in this regard, to the extent that the number of business schools with an entrepreneurial approach for students in the regions spread in different countries. It should also be kept in mind that one of the most important characteristics of business schools is the presence of effective leadership in order to achieve the goals and vision of these schools.
