چکیده

Despite many decades of intensive research by universities and other research centers in the public and private sectors that could improve finance and monetary applications in agriculture activities, there has as yet not been any brilliant transforming commercialization. as the objective, Commercialization barriers causing slow market growth and poor acceptance of agriculture research in Iran are discussed here. The study's population consists of Qom Keshavarzi Bank employees. The sampling method is proportional classification, and a questionnaire is a research tool. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by the ideas of the specialists’ panel while its reliability was supported by using Cronbach’s alpha ratio with an internal correlation coefficient of 0/79. Descriptive and deductive methods were used to analyze information. SPSS and LISREL software packages were used for statistical analyses. Findings indicate that the research theoretical model on the direct and negative impact of such challenges as lack of knowledge on commercialization, policy making, lack of organs that support commercialization, commercialization negligence, and research structure on latent variable of agricultural research findings is confirmed by high fitness which indicates right identification of affecting challenges on research commercialization and needs to find solution for facilitating the modification of such challenges.
