The majority of theoretical models employed for the purpose of studying entrepreneurial performance place significant emphasis on motivation as a fundamental determinant of success in business. Also, having skills can play an important role as a complement to motivation. This study aimed to investigate the effect of entrepreneurial leadership on entrepreneurial motivation and entrepreneurial skill. This study expands knowledge in two ways: uncovering new relationships and replicating some of the important findings previously made in the field of entrepreneurship. The statistical population consisted of 103 employees of an industrial company. The selection of individuals was done through available sampling. the required data were collected through three questionnaires. The Entrepreneurial Leadership Questionnaire, Entrepreneurship Skills Questionnaire, and Entrepreneurship Motivation Questionnaire. The research findings were obtained by the descriptive-correlation method. The results show that entrepreneurial leadership has a positive and significant effect on employee motivation. It can also be said that entrepreneurial leadership has a positive and significant effect on employee skills.
