Nevertheless, according to a society\u2019s capacity to launch such enterprises in various eras, their volume is less than expected in many economies. Therefore, establishing such enterprises is necessary for developing any country, although its innovation system contributes to establishing them. This paper considers the impact of entrepreneurial education on technology-based enterprise development, including motivation as a mediator variable, in Esfahan Scientific and Industrial Town. Despite much research investigating the correlation between entrepreneurial education and technology-based enterprises\u2019 progress, it seems that no study has already considered this correlation with remarking the motivation as a mediator variable. This applied research follows a quantitative research design. The statistical population includes 500 enterprises in the Esfahan Scientific and Industrial Town, and for sampling, Cochran\u2019s formula was applied (n = 217). Additionally, the researcher-made questionnaire and PLS3 software were used for data gathering and analysis. The results demonstrated that entrepreneurial education elements (including entrepreneurial skill, entrepreneurial learning, and entrepreneurial intention) positively affect technology-based enterprises\u2019 development, considering motivation as a mediator variable. However, the impact of entrepreneurial intention on technology-based enterprises was not supported. It reveals that the entrepreneurial intention of motivated individuals could have a meaningful effect on the development of technology-based enterprises. Therefore, motivation is a critical issue to be considered by managers and policymakers while considering entrepreneurial education-related policies and initiatives.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/admsci11040105","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,22]],"date-time":"2021-09-22T09:14:57Z","timestamp":1632302097000},"page":"105","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":68,"title":["The Impact of Entrepreneurial Education on Technology-Based Enterprises Development: The Mediating Role of Motivation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0806-1911","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leo-Paul","family":"Dana","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rowe School of Business, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS B3H 4R2, Canada"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8951-9711","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehdi","family":"Tajpour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Corporate Entrepreneurship, Faculty of Entrepreneurship, University of Tehran, Tehran 1439813141, Iran"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6808-1327","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aidin","family":"Salamzadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Business Management, Faculty of Management, University of Tehran, Tehran 141556311, Iran"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3478-5320","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elahe","family":"Hosseini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Business Administration, Faculty of Economics, Management & Accounting, Yazd University, Yazd 8915818411, Iran"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8558-8530","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mahnaz","family":"Zolfaghari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Educational Administration and Planning, Faculty of Psychology and Education, University of Tehran, Tehran 141556311, Iran"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"521","DOI":"10.1007\/s11187-012-9446-8","article-title":"Born local: Toward a theory of new venture\u2019s choice of internationalization","volume":"41","author":"Acs","year":"2013","journal-title":"Small Business Economics"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"451","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.psych.60.110707.163505","article-title":"Benefits of training and development for individuals and teams, organizations, and society","volume":"60","author":"Aguinis","year":"2009","journal-title":"Annual Review of Psychology"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"179","DOI":"10.1016\/0749-5978(91)90020-T","article-title":"The theory of planned behavior","volume":"50","author":"Ajzen","year":"1991","journal-title":"Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes"},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"29","DOI":"10.1108\/APJIE-11-2018-0067","article-title":"Entrepreneurial knowledge, skills, competencies and performance","volume":"13","author":"Fazal","year":"2019","journal-title":"Asia Pacific Journal of Innovation and Entrepreneurship"},{"key":"ref_5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.21621\/sajms.2019131.02","article-title":"Successful Entrepreneurial Process as Contributor towards Business Performance in Banking: Moderating Role of Passion for Inventing","volume":"13","author":"Altaf","year":"2019","journal-title":"South Asian Journal of Management Sciences"},{"key":"ref_6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Antonioli, Davide, Nicolli, Francesco, Ramaciotti, Laura, and Rizzo, Ugo (2016).
