In recent years, business organizations have been compelled to compete in the competitive environment and to advance innovativeness, provide improved product and service quality and respond effectively to dynamic demands and preferences. Studies on corporate entrepreneurship are now common in Pakistan. Although most of the studies tend to explore the link between corporate entrepreneurship & a firm’s growth, however, there is also a need to check the relationship of corporate entrepreneurship with other elements of growth. Therefore, this study tries to explore the effect of innovation as a part of corporate entrepreneurship on customer’s satisfaction with the reference of middle-level management of public sector banks. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire which was analyzed through SMART-PLS. The results indicate that there is a definite relationship between corporate entrepreneurship and customer satisfaction, whereas the support of top management is also a potent variable in the context of public sector banks. This study, therefore, will be beneficial for increasing understanding and theory building criteria. The empirical findings of the study also reflected that innovation is a significant predictor of customer satisfaction and moderation of top management support is significant to foster customer satisfaction. The study offers managerial implications and future research recommendations on the basis of the findings.
