Abstract: This study examines how cultural behavioral patterns influence international integration capability (IIC) within developing economies through the mediating role of entrepreneurial orientation (EO). Employing a mixed-methods approach, we integrate the behavior-based Lewis Model with Hofstede’s cultural dimensions to understand IIC development across diverse contexts. Drawing on Social Cognitive Theory and supported by Cultural Intelligence Theory, we develop the socio-cultural entrepreneurial integration framework (SCEIF), which explains how cultural behaviors shape entrepreneurial orientation and perceived international integration capability. Findings reveal that linear-active patterns positively influence innovativeness and proactiveness, multi-active patterns enhance risk-taking and reactive patterns significantly moderate the EO-IIC relationship. Comparative analysis demonstrates that cultural behavioral influences on international integration outcomes are more pronounced in institutional environments with higher uncertainty. These results contribute to international entrepreneurship theory and practice by highlighting how culturally diverse team composition enhances global integration capabilities in developing economies.
