Objective: This research aims to investigate the relationship between information literacy and entrepreneurship among the technological units located in the Science and Technology Park of Kermanshah.
Method: This applied research was conducted using a quantitative approach and a survey method. The statistical population consisted of 285 technology units in the Kermanshah Science and Technology Park, from which a sample of 164 units was selected based on Morgan’s table. Data were collected using two standardized questionnaires: an information literacy questionnaire adapted from the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL), with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.79, and an entrepreneurial capabilities questionnaire adapted from the Durham University Research Association in the UK, with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.82. To assess the validity of the questionnaires, factor analysis was conducted based on Klein’s model. Cronbach’s alpha was used to evaluate the reliability. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze the research data.
Results: The findings indicated that all components of information literacy have a positive and significant relationship with the entrepreneurial capabilities of the entrepreneurs in the technological units of the Kermanshah Science and Technology Park. Among these components, the effective use of information, effective access to information, and critical evaluation of information were identified as the strongest predictors of entrepreneurial capabilities.
Conclusions: The components related to determining the nature and scope of information, as well as understanding legal, economic, and social issues, show a significant relationship with the entrepreneurial capabilities of technological units. However, according to the findings of this study, three components hold greater importance: using information to achieve a predetermined and specific goal (effective use of information), accessing the required information efficiently and cost-effectively (effective access to information), and analyzing arguments, evaluating the validity of resources, and identifying core problems (critical evaluation of information). The development of entrepreneurial capabilities in science and technology parks requires particular emphasis on these three components.
