Identifying the Effective Factors in the Process of Commercialization of Research from the Viewpoint of the Khoy Azad University Masters in the Academic Year of 97-96

The present study was conducted with the aim of identifying factors in the commercialization of research from the point of view of the Khoy Azad University professors. The statistical population of this research is all 114 full-time faculty members of Islamic Azad University, Khoy Branch, who taught in the academic year of 97-96. Due to the low population density, the sample in this research is the same as the statistical society. A commercialization questionnaire was used by Abbasi Esfanjani and Foruzandeh Dehkordi (2013) to collect data. Validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by using existing resources and comments of the faculty members of the educational sciences and its perpetuity was obtained through Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.778. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (factor analysis) have been used to analyze the information. The results of the study showed that the underlying, structural and behavioral factors are among the effective factors influencing the commercialization of research from the viewpoints of the professors of Khoy Azad University.
