Objective: One of the most important components of successful entrepreneurs is decision-making in a situation that can bring many dangers and risks to them. Entrepreneurs should always make tough decisions in the conditions of uncertainty and ambiguities in the startup environment and move toward their goals based on those decisions. These decisions accompanied by risk, whether financial, social or similar, can in turn determine the success or failure of the entrepreneur. In this research, we investigate the effect of the two components of working memory and motivation on the level of risk-taking of potential entrepreneurs, and we also observe the effect of age changes on each of these variables.Methodology: The sample studied in this research is 142 potential entrepreneurs who intend to start a business in the future. We used a standard questionnaire to collect information related to people's motivation, and to measure their working memory performance and risk-taking, we used computerized cognitive tests of CANTAB software. The selected people are from the startup teams of the Convergent Technologies Research Institute of Tehran University. All these people have done their test individually in an isolated environment located in the Research Institute of Convergent Technologies of Tehran University in full compliance with the test protocol.Findings: In the research findings section, the relationships between the main and secondary variables were investigated and compared with the research hypotheses. The two indices that are important for measuring the fit of the research model are Chi-square and NFI, which are suitable if they are above 5% and 0.9, respectively, which was also the case in the findings of the present study. Then the coefficients of determination and effect size were examined. In the conclusion part of the research, we examined why some hypotheses were rejected and some were confirmed, and with the help of previous literature, we examined why each one. This research showed that there is a significant relationship between motivation and risk-taking performance of potential entrepreneurs. Also, by changing the motivation level of potential entrepreneurs, their working memory performance can be affected. On the other hand, the age variable was related to all variables of working memory, motivation, and risk-taking, but its relationship with motivation was contrary to existing literature, and our findings could not be properly aligned with previous studies. The reason for this can be motivated by the breadth of literature and it is better to consider more factors in another research.Conclusion: With the help of the findings of this research, entrepreneurs can be helped to make their risky decisions with higher quality and thus take a smoother path to reach their entrepreneurial goals. Finally, we know that entrepreneurs are one of the important elements of economic progress and helping them succeed can help the economy and welfare of the society

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of internal factors affecting the success of spin - off companies in Study of iranian state research institutes.
Methodology: This research was applied in terms of objective and descriptive-correlational in terms of data collection method. The present study used a mixed qualitative-quantitative method, in which narrative analysis was used for qualitative data obtained from interviews and a questionnaire was used for quantitative data. The statistical population of the study consisted of technology startups with a history of more than three years that have gone through the market entry and growth stages, which were about 60 spin - off, and simple random sampling was used. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire to measure the research variables, the validity of which was confirmed by content and structure validity and the reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha method.
Findings: The research findings showed a significant relationship between the variables of mother institution assets, pre-formation support measures, and post-formation support measures and the success of spin - off companies, but no significant relationship was found between the mother institution culture variable and the success of spin - off companies.
Conclusion: Based on the research results, experts and planners can benefit from them and plan for improving and growing spin - off companies in research institutions by using the effective components identified in them. In other words, these results can be used as a guide for improving the activities of spin - off companies in research institutions.

The aim of this research was to identify the facilitating and hindering factors of entrepreneurship education of students in the northwestern provinces of the country and districts 5, 15 and 18 of Tehran. The present study is a mixed research and data theory method has been the basis of this research. The statistical population of this research includes the students of technical and professional universities, industrial universities and students of conservatories, and experts as well as officials of education departments. Using the results obtained from the study of the theoretical bases and the research process and analysis and analysis of the content of the conducted interviews, the primary indicators and criteria of facilitating and inhibiting factors in the education of students in technical and vocational schools were identified, and 140 saturated open codes were extracted and and 32 central codes were calculated after combination of them and finally by combining them, 29 optional codes were obtained. After the three stages of open coding, central coding, and selective coding, a paradigm model or a desirable model has been presented in the form of a paradigm. In the quantitative stage, the researcher had used the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for the normality of the data, the sign test for the significance of the questionnaire questions, and the data dispersion test with the skewness and skewness test of the data. To discover the factors, the researcher has used Bartlett's special factor analysis test along with its components in the rotated and unrotated matrix for identification. The researcher has used Cronbach's alpha test for the reliability of the questionnaire. Finally, the general model of the research along with standard model, conceptual model, T-value model with the appropriateness of the model is designed by Laserl software.

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the factors influencing consumer trust in purchasing digital currencies (cryptocurrencies) based on the Lee and Turban model. Method and Research::Nowadays, security and distrust are the most important concerns of cryptocurrency consumers. The research method used in this study is a combination of document-based (library) and quantitative survey methods, with a developmental objective. The sample size consisted of 385 active workers and students inside and outside the country who were involved in buying digital currencies and cryptocurrencies in 1399. The Lee and Turban model (2001) was selected as the base model for this research, and with the proposal of five hypotheses, the impact of each of the perceived organizational credibility, national electronic infrastructure, customer knowledge, experiential backgrounds, and risk-taking was examined using a descriptive method. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were used for a more accurate analysis of the impacts in the final model.Findings: Considering the significant level obtained in the analysis of variance table, which is equal to 0.000, and comparing it with the 0.05 error level with 95% confidence, the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H1) is confirmed. Therefore, the results confirm all the hypotheses of this study.Conclusion: The confirmation of the hypotheses indicates that infrastructural, credibility, experiential, knowledge, and risk factors have an impact on creating consumer trust in purchasing digital currencies. The results show that risk-taking has the highest impact, while knowledge has the lowest impact on consumer trust in purchasing digital currencies
