Abstract

Entrepreneurial resilience is a fundamental structure in the development of women's entrepreneurship, facing critical issues in development, especially in developing countries. From a scientific point of view, entrepreneurship is one of the interesting fields of research. Because the growth and development of women's entrepreneurship can act as a factor of change and sustainable economic and social development. In this direction, emerging economic countries use different strategies and economic policies. In Iran, women are increasingly present in the management of knowledge-based companies. In such a way that with a growth of 12% in 1402, more than 700 managers of these companies are women. Therefore, the role of women entrepreneurs in managing the knowledge-based ecosystem is vital. This increase in the presence of women in management is not only useful for empowering women, but also for sustainable development and economic growth. This shows that women's entrepreneurship is one of the important factors in the economic and social progress of societies, and paying attention to it can help create job opportunities for women and improve their economic and social status. Women's entrepreneurial activities, due to their positive consequences and special importance in society, can help to better understand the role of women in society and provide useful information to managers and policy makers, so that they can find ways to promote and develop women's entrepreneurial environment in Provide society. Analyzing and investigating the role of women in the field of entrepreneurship can help to better understand the gender composition in society and provide new perspectives in this field. Therefore, the field of women's entrepreneurship as one of the important and attractive research topics has attracted the attention of researchers and scholars all over the world. The present research was conducted with the aim of exploring and validating the predictive model of entrepreneurial resilience in critical conditions in knowledge-based companies. . In terms of paradigm, the present research is in the exploration phase of the interpretive model and in the test phase of the positivist model, and in terms of general pragmatism, and in terms of audience research. The research sample in the qualitative phase of the academic field includes university professors, faculty members, and top female entrepreneurs in knowledge-based companies, and a total of 15 experts were interviewed to collect qualitative data. The mixed research approach and strategy used is thematic analysis according to Clark (2006) using MAXQDA software. The research questionnaire was developed to collect quantitative data according to exploratory factor analysis. In the quantitative part, 227 people were examined as the final sample of the research by using the G power sample size determination software at the alpha level of 0.1 and the test power of 0.85%. The path analysis test of the discovered model is also according to the structural equation modeling algorithm. Variance was analyzed using SPSS, Smart:PLS software.
