Technology-based enterprises play a paramount role in blooming a country economically. Nevertheless, according to a society’s 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’ 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’s 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’ 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.

创业教育对科技型企业发展的影响：动机的中介作用

科技型企业对一个国家的经济繁荣起着至关重要的作用。然而，根据一个社会在各个时代开办此类企业的能力，它们的数量在许多经济体中都低于预期。因此，建立这样的企业对于任何国家的发展都是必要的，尽管其创新体系有助于建立这些企业。本文考虑了创业教育对伊斯法罕科技工业城科技型企业发展的影响，包括动机作为中介变量。尽管有很多研究调查了创业教育与技术型企业进步之间的相关性，但似乎没有研究已经将这种相关性与将动机标记为中介变量来考虑。这项应用研究遵循定量研究设计。统计人口包括伊斯法罕科技工业城的 500 家企业，抽样采用 Cochran 公式（n = 217）。此外，研究人员制作的问卷和 PLS3 软件用于数据收集和分析。结果表明，创业教育要素（包括创业技能、创业学习和创业意向）以动机为中介变量对科技型企业的发展产生积极影响。但是，创业意愿对科技型企业的影响没有得到支持。它揭示了有动机的个人的创业意愿可能对技术型企业的发展产生有意义的影响。所以，
