“…, 2014) that is essential in venture creation. On this premise, Dvouletý (2023) notes that, to an extent, religion shapes the career and work-related attitudes of young adults by helping them persist or enhance entrepreneurial performance when faced with adversity. This is due to virtues, known as “Akhlak” in Islam (Arifin, 2023), developed through religious practices reinforcing a stronger personal attitude towards entrepreneurial activity (Wibowo, 2017).…”

PurposeIncreasingly, there is scholarly recognition that individuals' faith constitutes a background factor much like other antecedents conditioning entrepreneurial inclination. Yet, there is room to expand knowledge on how faith interrelates with psychological and social determinants of entrepreneurship, especially in under-researched contexts such as Nigeria.Design/methodology/approachThis inquiry conceptualises associations between religiosity and (1) entrepreneurial self-efficacy, (2) entrepreneurial attitudes (3) and subjective norms as predictors of nascent entrepreneurship. For analysis, 1,259 observations of Nigerian students are assessed by structural equation modelling.FindingsThe path analysis showed that the religiosity–nascent entrepreneurship nexus is altogether mediated by entrepreneurial self-efficacy, entrepreneurial attitudes and subjective norms. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy is found to have the greatest impact on nascent entrepreneurship, followed by subjective norms and then entrepreneurial attitudes.Originality/valueTheoretically, this study is one of the first to test all three dimensions of the theory of planned behaviour in the religiosity–nascent entrepreneurship nexus. It draws fresh attention to faith motivation and praxis, role-taking and attribution theory as explainers of the inherent correlations. Practically, the findings summon stakeholders to consider religious activity in the delivery of entrepreneurship programmes.

“…Drašček et al (2021) note a distressing decline in empirical research on ethical decision-making. Dvouletý (2023) calls for expanding knowledge on the nexus of religion and entrepreneurship, while Battisti and Deakins (2018) and Pittz and Pittz (2024) call for deeper research into specific areas of entrepreneurial rule-breaking. We personally note a gap regarding work that spans rule-breaking, religion and entrepreneurship together, let alone in the USA.…”

We prove a fundamental attribution error connecting rule-breaking behavior to entrepreneurs. We do so in the research context of the US, where we recently sampled from medium-sized venture entrepreneurs and their corporate executive peers (as an applicable reference point). We chose the US not only for its high entrepreneurial activity, but also because of the not uncommon relationship between business leaders and religion. By including various measures of religiosity in the study, we could control for factors that would likely influence rule-breaking, which standard models like the fraud triangle do not explicitly consider. In fact, we add contingency theory ideas to the fraud triangle to determine whether it is the decision conditions that determine rule-breaking rather than the role of the person (i.e., as an entrepreneur). We find that once demographic, religious, firm and industry contingencies are controlled for, any statistically significant influence of being an entrepreneur (relative to being a corporate executive with similar opportunity, motivation, capability and rationalization) disappears when it comes to self-admitted value-bending behaviors at work. Our contribution consists of a novel analysis, results and discussion of the ‘bent’repreneur—adding to conversations on the under-researched nexus of entrepreneurship with religiosity and ethical decision-making.

“…The realm of religion and the mere idea of entrepreneurship were studied together in varied settings. For example, how values developed in religious beliefs and practices shape entrepreneurship (Dana, 2010(Dana, , 2021Dodd & Gotsis, 2007); entrepreneurship and religion in the context of business (Emami & Nazari, 2012;Hisrich et al, 2007;Nwankwo et al, 2012;Zafar & Ammara, 2023;Zelekha et al, 2014), and in the perspective of youth (Dvouletý, 2023). Some studies focus specifically on Muslim entrepreneurship (Hassan, 2022).…”

Macrolevel factors encouraging bureaucratic policy entrepreneurship: The case of religion and state in Israel

How do external macrolevel factors encourage bureaucrats to become policy entrepreneurs? And what are their organizational goals in pursuing entrepreneurship? Contrary to traditional public choice literature on bureaucracy that sees the latter as change‐resistant, this study stresses that bureaucracies can and do change; they are not as insulated from reformist pressure. In this study, we lay the conditions under which change occurs, making bureaucrats—policy entrepreneurs. We argue that: (1) bureaucratic inefficiency, leading to (2) societal pressure as expressed by public opinion, and consequently to (3) pressure from potential new providers offering bottom‐up competition, will encourage bureaucrats to turn to policy entrepreneurship strategies. In addition, we assert that their goals in doing so are to modify and design efficient services, while protecting their monopoly on service provision. We test these claims by analyzing the state‐religion dynamics in Israel, and specifically the case of the 2021 kosher food inspection reform.
