In this research, using the theme analysis technique, its validation was examined in the development of entrepreneurship in the National Petroleum Products Refining Company. The statistical population of the research in the qualitative section was identified as about 12 people. Considering the dominance of the qualitative approach, the snowball sampling method was used. The statistical population in the quantitative section is 951 people. In the first part (qualitative), the main and sub-themes were determined in order to design an entrepreneurship development model in the national oil refining industry with an approach to preventing environmental damage, using the theme analysis technique with Maxqda2020 software, and then in the second part (quantitative), they were analyzed by surveying statistical samples and using structural equations. According to the results, the main theme of developing green entrepreneurial structures and processes is in the first priority and importance, and the development of green entrepreneurship is in the second and seventh importance.
