| The present study investigates the life experience of students in cultural and extra-curricular activities in a university based on the granded theory method with the aim of examining the relationship between organizational culture and the formation of social entrepreneurial inclinations. The data analysis, which was obtained through semi-structured interviews with 22 students at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, led to the formation of a central phenomenon called "extra-curricular in the University: the field of innovation and altruism integration ". This phenomenon has occurred on the basis of a set of contextual conditions such as " the focus of the teacher in the organizational culture of the university", "the overcoming of training and research affairs on educational affairs at the university" and "student subculture dynamics in the university's corporate domain". The most important causative conditions affecting this phenomenon are "the variety and breadth of extra-curricular programs," the "executive model governing the extra-curricular activities" and "the accessibility of extra-curricular in financial and temporal formats." There were also some interventional conditions, such as family life experiences, school backgrounds, and “the prevailing conditions in a certain field of study and department at the university”. The strategies adopted by students against the phenomenon, Including "prioritizing", "balancing", and "neglecting" to the extra-curricular, lead to Consequential conditions such as “increasing the willingness of the team working”, "the personal and collective alignment in the interest", "the transformation in benevolent emotions", "tendency to Innovation" and "one-dimensional growth in neglect of extracurricular activities". |
