Introduction
Entrepreneurship is one of the skills of the 21st century, during which people learn how to start a new business and succeed in their career (Amiri, 2020). Efficient and successful organizations are organizations that consider entrepreneurship as an inseparable part of their characteristics and make no effort to strengthen the spirit of organizational entrepreneurship (Rahimi & Rahimi, 2022). Baron & Markman(2003) believe that one of the components of this equation is the social skill of entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs' social skills are effectiveness in interacting with others and setting relationships with them, which are influenced by individual characteristics and environmental factors (Rezai, 2019). With the increase in the competitive level of the markets, the use of innovation strategy to gain a competitive advantage has achieved a special place. Therefore, identifying factors affecting the success of innovation strategy has become very important. One of these factors is market orientation. Market orientation is the most important factor in the success of innovative strategies of companies (Lio, 2013; Newman et al, 2016; Fernandes Sampaio, 2020). In fact, the concept of market orientation, developed by marketing researchers, serves as a strategic framework to ensure the achievement of sustainable competitive advantage (Buratti, 2021).
According to the mentioned points, the researcher is trying to answer the main question of whether market orientation plays a mediating role in the relationship between social skills and organizational entrepreneurship in Nab Steel Company.
Theoretical framework
Market orientation means marketing, and a organizational culture that provides a greater value for customers, and must be clarified in the company's activities and processes (Noruzi et al, 2017). Market orientation is an important source at data collecting about the customers and the competitors (yan et al, 2017). Social skills refer to ability of making effective communication with others. This skill has various dimensions in the service industry, such as: the ability of making a good personal relationship with the customers, offering services to the customers in a friendly and truthfully way, truthful relationship with the customers, eager to help and offer full information to the customers (Ainin et al, 2015). Organizational entrepreneurship is a programmed and purposeful process that is supported and advertised by organizations in the current organizational framework in order to log out of the inactivity, proper reaction toward the changes, and better use of the existing resources. Organizational entrepreneurship is used to describe the existence of the inner entrepreneurship tendencies of the employees (Hermawan et al, 2021).
Naeiji et al, (2022) conducted the effect of market orientation and innovation strategies in the innovative performance of the knowledge-based companies. The results indicate that the market orientation's both dimensions are effective on the discovery and utilizing. Also, there is a positive relationship between the innovation strategies and performance; however, the discovery innovation is more effective on the innovative performance than utilizing innovation.
Rashed Hasan Polas & Rajo (2021) investigated the technology and decision making of entrepreneurship marketing during Covid 19 crisis. This study shows a positive and significant relationship between the entrepreneurship opportunities recognition, opportunity development, and utilizing of opportunities; and entrepreneurship marketing decision making. Also, it has been shown that the entrepreneurship enthusiasm plays a mediating role in the relation between entrepreneurship opportunity recognition and opportunity development, and entrepreneurship marketing decision making.
