Abstract
Attention to entrepreneurship has been vital in recent years. Most researchers in this field are looking for why and how to spread entrepreneurial behavior in society and acknowledge that this is an effective factor in economic advancement. Research in this area is sparse and limited. The present study, based on scientometric method and content analysis of documents, examines studies in this field in order to provide a conceptual model by sorting out researches. The statistical population of the study includes all the documents provided in the Scopus database with 666 documents (like articles, books, etc.) until 2019, which evaluated by bibexcle software and VOSviewer. The results are divided into four areas: the first part of individual and cultural factors such as "gender, age, risk-taking, independence, experience, awareness, belief in self-efficacy, self-control, mental norms, entrepreneurial attitude", The second part includes environmental factors such as "entrepreneurial and dynamic environment, enabling, family supportive, and social supportive environment", the third part deal with economic factors such as "individual and social financial resources" and the fourth part is on institutional and legal factors such as legal, supportive laws and supporting institutions issues.
