      ab: This cross-cultural study was undertaken to investigate the impact of cultural values on faculty's desired level of participation in organizational settings. Data was collected from a random sample of 1272 faculty members from randomly selected 41 Pakistani Public Sector Universities from all over Pakistan. The data concerning organizational cultural values was collected using Sections 3 from form alpha of the Project GLOBE Survey Questionnaire. The impact of GLOBE Cultural competencies was studied on the faculty's desired level of participation in university governance. The desired decisionparticipation level of the faculty was realised with the help of Faculty Decision Participation Scale developed for this study on the pattern of the American Association of University Professors' survey. The results of the Multiple Linear Regression reveal that the nine GLOBE organizational cultural competencies at values level were all important predictors of the desired decision participation level of the faculty. The sample desired to see low levels of power distance, uncertainty avoidance, which was inversely related to faculty's desire for participation. Higher levels of assertiveness, gender egalitarianism, performance orientation, humane orientation, future orientation and institutional collectivism was valued by the sample which were positively related to faculty participation. The results highlighted cultural readiness of the faculty for the introduction of participatory governance in Pakistani universities. The findings of this study invite policy makers to adopt a synergistic approach to university governance.
