In the interpretation and explanation of this subject, it should be noted that tendency to entrepreneurship refer to amount of motivation and potential desire of human resource  organization for carry out entrepreneurial activities and amount of their ability and knowledge to have this type of responsibility. It's obvious that every one according to his personal characteristics has the level of ability and necessary knowledge to take this type of responsibility, in a way that according to research results it could said that each Entrepreneurship school manager had unique personal characteristics, but in general significant points exist in personality of all entrepreneurs that caused to improve his tendency to entrepreneurs behaviors.

They are their own director and they accept the results of their decisions, and this characteristic refer to entrepreneur’s autonomy and caused mangers tendency to do new jobs (entrepreneurship). Of course it should be considered that, in school management autonomy doesn't have sense and manager should dynamically and creatively interact with all teachers, assistants and other full-time and part-time executive forces. Entrepreneur managers are people who decide on uncertainty situations, for this reasons they should be risk appetite and they must realize that risk appetite and its tendency should help to improve all participated people in school. Elementary school managers choose logical, appropriate, and at the same time challenging risk with fair and acceptable chance, so it's clear that a managers who accept chance more easily had more ability and knowledge to take new responsibilities and entrepreneurship, also each entrepreneurial school managers authentic his work competence.  They personally solve problems that happened during construction of new school or revival of an old school that is needed and honesty working for successful performance of whole project in subjective school and therefore they are challenging and they love to do new work, also flexibility of such managers is high in relationships and job decisions. Most of the successful entrepreneurial managers measures positive and negative aspect of one decision and based on the situation change it. They have a good mental analysis ability. Entrepreneurs are not influenced by their personal hardships so that they have entrepreneurship ability and tendency to new plan, finally it should be mentioned that they are logical and realistic in their theory so that they keep themselves away from prejudices, and in activities if they need helps used experts not friends and family.  So that such managers avoid emotional look to school problems and issues and could do new works and accept new responsibilities, so that it could claim that there were a positive and significant relationship between entrepreneurial personality characteristic with  tendency to entrepreneurship among elementary school managers.}, keywords = {Entrepreneurial Personality Characteristic,Tendency to Entrepreneurship,Challenging,Moderate Risk Appetite,Elementary School Managers}, url = {https://jsa.uok.ac.ir/article_61342.html}, eprint = {https://jsa.uok.ac.ir/article_61342_804dbafb0e6850e7ce4632293614b2b1.pdf} }
