To determine the reliability and validity of the tool, Cronbach's alpha techniques and confirmatory factor analysis were used, The results indicated the reliability and desirability of the tool. For data analysis, descriptive (center and scatter plot) and inferential (confirmatory factor analysis and confirmatory path analysis) techniques were used using Lisrel software, The results showed that: knowledge management variable had positive direct effect (0.29), direct positive effect (0.154) and total positive effect (0.444) and significant on organizational entrepreneurship variable (0.05). The organizational intelligence variable has positive direct effect (0.36) and total positive effect (0.336) and significant on organizational entrepreneurship variable (0.05). Knowledge management variable with indirect path coefficient due to organizational intelligence (0.154) and T (2.39) have indirect, positive and significant effect on organizational entrepreneurship variable at the level of 0.05. Knowledge management variable with indirect path coefficient due to organizational intelligence (0.154) and T (2.39) have indirect, positive and significant effect on organizational entrepreneurship variable at the level of 0.05.
