Many companies have recognized the importance of cultural dimensions influencing overall organizational performance for their aggressive advantage. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship of national culture with entrepreneurial performance in Pakistani manufacturing companies. This was a cross-sectional study with a descriptive research design conducted among staff and managers from the Lahore Chamber of Commerce. A total of 307 respondents were conveniently selected to participate in this study and completed a series of questionnaires. A questionnaire was developed, distributed and collected as the main method of data collection. Descriptive statistics and SEM were used to analyze study data from SPSS and Smartpls4. The study results show that there is a significant correlation between national cultural dimensions and entrepreneurial performance. This study found that power distance, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity/femininity, individualism/collectivism were significantly and positively correlated with organizational performance. Research has shown that subculture has an impact on how commercial company sport is conducted in a company. Therefore, it affects the overall performance of the company as a whole. Even if managers and their employees have similar attitudes about how performance should be made, this leads to good results in the workplace. The study concluded that all 5 cultural dimensions were drastically and unequivocally correlated with the organization's overall performance.
