The questionaore used to collect data has been provided by researchers. Reliability of questions were confirmed by experts and indices as AVE, done by R software. Loading factors for each items were above 0.5 and T statistics were less than 1.96 in all items which is confirmed by sig 0.05. Therefore, none of items were deleted from survey. Validity of questionnaire has been evaluated by Chronbach and combinated validity (CR) which Alpha index was higher that 0.7 and the cunstruc validity showed that the factor's items had good fit. The results showed that the organizational responsibility and organizational competitiveness had significant effect on entrepreneurial development of human resources.

Introduction
Since the Osborn and Geabler theories in Entrepreneurial Government, public organizations intensively were searching to transform their management styles to benefit from implicit advantages of this theory which is derived from pivate management. One of these transfoms is related to human resource which is an internal factors of public organizations (Hassanzadeh, Mirsapasi, Faghihi & Najaf Beigi, 2019,161).
Development of human resource plays important and remarkable role in adaptability of organizations with their changing environment, since organizations are made up of people which are working to achieve the determinded goals. However, rare researchs have been paid to relation between human resource and entrepreneurship (Moghaddam, Kamalian, Orei Yazdani, Kurd, & Roshan, 2016, 126). Accordingly, due to essential function of human resource managers to developing human resource, providing the domestic model of human resource development with entrepreneurship orientation is an important approaches to enhance the quality and quantity of human resource functions in public organizations. Also, it is considerable as a applicable way to get out of existing situation.
Case study
Public organizations in Ardabil province have the potential of educated and trained people, 38829 or 79 percent graduated people from universities, as politicy makers and executives. Each year; also, various educations and courses have been held to empower human resources and promote the knowledge and job skill in different organizational levels based on instructions of State Administrative and Recruitment Organization and other related centers which it costs a lot.
Theoretical framework
In a changing world, the success is belongs to societies and organizations that are able to build significant relation among management capabilities and the organizations' human resource entreprenership.Acknowledging the entreprenership role in one side, and the valuable role of human resource in reaching goals on the other side, the extensive tendency to human resource as a beneficial approach in entrepreneurship studies has been created. This approach underlies on the assumption that special applications and proceedings in human resource management would help to imcrease the entrepreneurship activities in the organizational level, as researchs has showed that the entreprenership has strongly tied to application of resources, especially human resources (Moghaddam & et al, 2016,124).
Methodology
This is an applied study in terms of purpose and a descriptive survey through using correlation and structural equation modeling. Data has been collected through the quationare included 99 items. The research statistical population included managers of public organizations. Three hundred and forty-one individuals in middle and first levels of management have been selected through simple random sampling method using Cochran's formula. Structural Equestion Modelling including second rank factor analysis and path analysis have been used for studying the relations between variables. Research data were analysed through R software.
Discussion and Results
The significant level of all variables are higher than .05, hence, the distribution of all variables are normal. Also, KMO has closed to 1 and higher that 0.6 for all variables which has indicated the sample size was adequate for factor analysis. In other hand, Bartlet test for all factors equaled to zero and less than .05, therefore factor analysis was suit for analysis. Considering the results of analysis, all T values were higher than 1.96 and all significant values were less than .05, so all factors have been effected on each others in the model.
Conclusion
In the structural model of entrepreneurship human resource development, organizational responsibility and competitiveness, have significantly effected on developing entrepreneurship human resource activities. Developing approach of managers, organizational culture and human resource incentives, have effects on individual empowerment. Organizational atomosphere and traditional administrative system effected significantly on organizational development. Individual and organizational empowerment effected significantly on individual and organizational development.
