In the first step, the factors affecting organizational entrepreneurial behavior were identified based on the research background and semi-structured interviews with 11 academic and organizational experts by Delphi method. The output of this stage was 23 components in 7 dimensions (behavioral, environmental, content, contextual, communication, structural, individual). Then, in the second step, the identified dimensions were graded by interpretive structural method and clustered by Mikmak analysis. The results showed that the behavioral and communication dimensions are in the first level, environmental, content, contextual and individual dimensions are in the second level and structural dimension are in the third level. Environmental and structural are located in independent clusters. Based on the research results, it is suggested that in order to create entrepreneurial behavior in employees and the structure of the organization should be efficient and flexible in the face of environmental change and managers away from bureaucracy should encourage the entrepreneurial behavior of employees.Considering that organizational entrepreneurial behavior is a necessity for all organizations, both public and private, so the purpose of this study was to design a model of organizational entrepreneurial behavior with a combined approach, which was done on a case-by-case basis in the judiciary of Golestan province.The present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlation based on the method, which was analyzed using Excel software.
