چکیده:
This research aimed to identify the influential components of the service dimension of university incubators that play a role in establishing university spin-off companies. The research method was mixed-methods, and the statistical population included experts and specialists in the field of science parks in universities of Mazandaran province. Sampling in the qualitative study section was purposeful, and in the quantitative section, it was stratified random sampling. In the qualitative section, 13 people participated in the interview process, and in the quantitative section, with a population size of 304 people, 170 people participated as a sample in this research. Data collection tools included interviews and a researcher-made questionnaire, which, after validity confirmation, had a reliability of 0.82 calculated. For data analysis, descriptive statistics were used, and in the inferential section, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were employed. The research results in the qualitative section indicated that 17 components were identified in the service dimension for creating university spin-off companies. In the quantitative section, findings showed that the tax assistance component had the highest factor loading (0.84), and the financial resource provision component had the lowest factor loading (0.40) of the total variances, with other components following in descending order of importance. Additionally, the final model of the research, with fit indices and standard coefficients, was confirmed. The impact coefficient of the existing components in the services of university incubators on creating university spin-off companies alone showed the highest impact coefficient in the tax assistance component at 0.84 and the lowest in the financial resource provision component at 0.40.
