Abstract
This study aims at designing a quality assessment model with academic entrepreneurship development approach.The mixed method (qualitative/descriptive Grounded Theory and quantitative / descriptive-correlational) is used to do this research. Its statistical population in qualitative section included 12 experts in entrepreneurship field selected by snowball method and they participated in data collection by deep interviewing tool until reaching the theoretical saturation level. The statistical society in its quantitative part includes professors and experts in entrepreneurship field at public universities of Tehran in academic year of 2017-18. The statistical sample is determined using Cochran formula, and 113 researcher-made questionnaires are distributed to collect data. The research validity and reliability in quantitative and qualitative sections are confirmed. To analyze data, coding method (open, axial, and selective coders) is used in qualitative, and the structural equation method in quantitative section. The research results reveal that quality assessment in universities may be investigated in two categories of internal factors(educational content, entrepreneurial leadership, human resources, educational justice, quality of evaluation, performance feedback, quality of information technology, quality of physical space) and external factors(Economic factors, social factors, cultural factors, geographical factors) to be examined and influenced.Furthermore, the quality assessment of universities for the academic entrepreneurship development have implications (commercialization, accountability, entrepreneurial skills development, value creation, and economic development).
