Proportionate stratified random sampling technique was utilized to give proper representation to each sub-population stratum. Data analysis was performed in IBM SPSS 23 and IBM SEM AMOS 23. Constructs Measurement model, structural model, and path analysis were done through AMOS structural equation modeling. Further, to examine the moderation effect of the variables entrepreneurial culture and government support on the relationship between Entrepreneurial Orientation and firm performance Baron and Kenny's (1983) three-step approach was used.
