Abstract :
In this research, a framework is developed to investigate the fundamentals of the entrepreneurial mindset, which is described by researchers as the ability to understand, act, and mobilize in uncertain conditions. This study focuses on metacognitive processes that enable entrepreneurs to think beyond or reorganize existing knowledge structures and insights, thereby promoting adaptive cognition when faced with new and uncertain decision-making contexts. The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of the entrepreneurial mindset on startup human resource management, with entrepreneurship education serving as a mediating variable (case study: small and medium-sized enterprises located in science and technology parks in Tehran Province). The statistical population of the study includes 700 employees and managers of small and medium-sized enterprises located in science and technology parks in Tehran Province. Using Cochran’s formula, a sample of 248 individuals was randomly selected. The research method is descriptive-correlational in nature and applied in terms of purpose. A standard questionnaire was used to collect the required data. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software, and hypothesis testing was performed through structural equation modeling using SmartPLS software. The results indicate that the entrepreneurial mindset has a positive and significant effect on startup human resource management, considering the mediating role of entrepreneurship education among employees. In addition, the entrepreneurial mindset has a direct positive and significant effect on startup human resource management. Furthermore, the findings show that the entrepreneurial mindset has a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurship education among employees.
