This article has two goals. First it aims to identify the effective factors in the commercializing research results, and second, it aims to determine whether these variables are related and if so explain their relationship. The Sample of this survey includes the faculty members and managers of Islamic Azad University (Science and Research branch) and some other managers relevant to this university. To study the effective individual factors in the commercializing research results, we use mixed research methods and the collected data are analyzed by some statistical tests such as T-Test, ANOVA, Friedman and Affirmative Factor Analysis. Results indicate that self-Efficacy, need for achievement, need for power, creativity and innovation, need for competitive, and locus of control are individual factors that affect the commercializing research results (p<01/0). Correlation coefficients show significant relationships among the factors. Finally, by using the results of the study we offer some policy suggestions.
