Summary. This study develops a structural equation model explaining agricultural entrepreneurship in rural Iranian villages. Using survey data from 197 households, researchers found that social capital, subjective norms, self-efficacy beliefs, and local institutions together explain 47% of variance in agricultural entrepreneurship development. The model confirms these four factors significantly influence farmers' innovativeness, risk-taking, and proactiveness, suggesting government support and institutional strengthening can boost rural entrepreneurship.
