In order to analyze the data, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regressions were used to test the hypotheses and Cronbach's alpha method was used to calculate the reliability coefficients. Results of testing research hypotheses showed that there is a significant relationship between information technology and the tendency to organizational entrepreneurship.
