چکیده

زمینه و هدف: در دنیای پیچیده و پویای امروز، نوآوری به‌عنوان مزیت رقابتی کلیدی در صنایع پیشرفته، به‌ویژه صنعت هوافضا و هوایی، شناخته می‌شود. از سوی دیگر، گرایش کارآفرینانه سازمان‌ها می‌تواند بستر مناسبی برای ارتقاء عملکرد نوآوری فراهم سازد. با توجه به ماهیت راهبردی و فناورانه صنایع هوایی، بررسی رابطه بین گرایش کارآفرینانه و عملکرد نوآورانه این صنایع، می‌تواند بینش‌های کاربردی برای سیاست‌گذاران، مدیران و پژوهشگران فراهم آورد. هدف این پژوهش، تحلیل تأثیر ابعاد مختلف گرایش کارآفرینانه بر عملکرد نوآوری در صنایع هوایی ایران است.. 
روش‌شناسی: این پژوهش از نظر هدف، کاربردی و به لحاظ ماهیت، پژوهشی توصیفی- همبستگی و از نظر نوع داده‌ها، کمی ‎است. جامعه آماری این پژوهش شامل شرکت‌های صنایع هوایی ایرانی است. داده‌های پژوهش از طریق پرسشنامه استاندارد گردآوری شد. تجزیه و تحلیل داده‌ها از طریق مدل‌سازی معادلات ساختاری به روش حداقل مربعات جزئی با استفاده از نرم‌افزار اِسمارت پی‌اِل‌اِس 3 انجام پذیرفت.
یافته‌ها: تحلیل‌ داده‌ها نشان داد که جهت‌گیری یادگیری رابطه میان گرایش کارآفرینانه و عملکرد نوآوری محصول را میانجی‌گری می‌کند. این یافته نشان داد که در حالی که گرایش کارآفرینانه به طور مستقیم بر عملکرد نوآوری محصول تأثیرگذار دارد، جهت‌گیری یادگیری می‌تواند این تأثیر را افزایش دهد و نقش حیاتی خود را در فرآیند نوآوری نشان دهد.
نتیجه‌گیری: این مطالعه بر اهمیت تقویت جهت‌گیری یادگیری در شرکت‌ها برای تقویت اثرات مثبت گرایش کارآفرینانه بر عملکرد نوآوری محصول تأکید دارد. با انجام این پژوهش، شرکت‌ها ​​می‌توانند عملکرد بهتری در محیط رقابتی امروز داشته باشند و قابلیت‌های نوآورانه خود را بهبود بخشند. تقویت این گرایش در سطح سازمانی می‌تواند موجب ارتقاء ظرفیت‌های نوآورانه، افزایش رقابت‌پذیری و بهبود عملکرد فناورانه در این صنعت راهبردی شود. مدیران و سیاست‌گذاران می‌توانند با حمایت از فرهنگ کارآفرینی و طراحی ساختارهای مشوق، بستر مناسبی برای شکوفایی نوآوری فراهم سازند.

چکیده [English]

Background & Purpose: In today's complex and dynamic world, innovation is recognized as a key competitive advantage in advanced industries, especially the aerospace and aviation industry. On the other hand, the entrepreneurial orientation of organizations can provide a suitable platform for improving innovation performance. Considering the strategic and technological nature of the aviation industries, examining the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and innovative performance of these industries can provide practical insights for policymakers, managers, and researchers. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of different dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation on innovation performance in the Iranian aviation industries.
Methodology: This study is applied in terms of purpose, survey-correlative research in terms of nature, and quantitative in terms of data type. The statistical population of this study includes Iranian aviation companies. Research data were collected through a standard questionnaire. Data analysis was performed through structural equation modeling using the partial least squares method using SmartPLS3 software.
Findings: The analysis of the research data showed that learning orientation mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and product innovation performance. This finding indicated that while entrepreneurial orientation directly affects product innovation performance, learning orientation can enhance this effect and demonstrate its vital role in the innovation process.
Conclusion: This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening learning orientation in companies to enhance the positive effects of entrepreneurial orientation on product innovation performance. By conducting this research, companies can perform better in today's competitive environment and improve their innovative capabilities. Strengthening this orientation at the organizational level can promote innovative capacities, increase competitiveness, and improve technological performance in this strategic industry. Managers and policymakers can provide a suitable platform for innovation to flourish by supporting an entrepreneurial culture and designing incentive structures.
