Abstract: Exploring the intricate relationship between national culture and entrepreneurial intentions, this study digs into the effect of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions on the entrepreneurial landscape within the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and non-OIC countries. Revealing a nuanced interplay, the research underscores how cultural dimensions such as power distance, masculinity, long-term orientation and indulgence shape entrepreneurial intentions, casting shadows over intent in OIC nations and conversely fostering positivity in non-OIC counterparts. This study’s findings resonate with policymakers and entrepreneurs, advocating for the cultivation of cultural environments that foster and celebrate entrepreneurship–a cornerstone not only for economic growth, job creation and innovation, but also for holistic sustainable development.
