Today, the use of technology in organizations as a solution to organizational problems has led to the emergence of a new concept: "technological entrepreneurship." Banks are considered one of the most influential organizations in the development of entrepreneurship in the country, and the advancement of technology has prompted the banking industry to utilize technological entrepreneurship to improve efficiency. Therefore, the aim of the current research was to design a technological entrepreneurship model for the Agricultural Bank. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational based on the method. The statistical population in the qualitative stage comprised 20 experts who were selected by a purposeful judgment method. In the quantitative stage, there were 250 employees of the Agricultural Bank of Golestan province. The sample size was determined to be 152 people according to the Krejcie and Morgan table, and sampling was done using a simple random method. The Delphi method was used to identify factors, and the structural equation modeling method with Smart PLS3 software was used to design the model. The Delphi results showed that the effective factors on technological entrepreneurship include 36 components in the form of 7 dimensions: inter-organizational, structural, institutional, skill, managerial, market and customer interactions, and technology. Additionally, the results of structural equation modeling showed that inter-organizational (0.792), structural (0.841), institutional (0.846), skill (0.726), managerial (0.628), market and customer interactions (0.598), and technology (0.491) factors have a positive and significant effect on technological entrepreneurship. In conclusion, technological entrepreneurship is considered an important strategy for the Agricultural Bank to remain competitive in a highly dynamic environment.
