Purpose: Literature reveals that there is a paucity of instruments to measure multidimensional top management support. The multidimensionality and complexity of the top management support cannot be reflected by single dimensional construct. The objective of this study is to develop and validate an instrument for measurement of multidimensional top management support. Design/methodology/approach: In this cross sectional study, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed to check validity and model fitness based on sample data collected from PMI community. Ordinary least square and structural equation modeling techniques was used to test research hypotheses and validate multidimensional top management support. Findings: Findings revealed a significant positive correlation among all dimensions of top management and their significant influence on project success, especially, on project efficiency and impact on the team dimensions. Theoretical Implication: Based on existing knowledge through a coherent and refined process, development and validation of Top Management Support Questionnaire (TMSQ) made a significant contribution to theories and research methods. Practical Implication: Multidimensional top management support provides an opportunity to ensure provision of apt assistance throughout the implementation of projects for improving organizational performance across the industries. Originality: This study targeted a sample size of 300 to develop and validate an instrument, which is in line with previous research studies on the development and validation of a reliable instrument. To operationalize TMSQ, this study adopted an online survey and received 208 responses (69%) from the PMI community
