“…Therefore, all possible means should be utilised to call all individuals to commit themselves to Qur'anic ethics, morals, and manners (or their own religious instructions or cultural inspirational guidance) in dealing with all elements of the environment (e.g. Brammer et al, 2007;Cui et al, 2015;Graafland et al, 2006;Hoivik and Mele, 2009;Mele, 2009;Oumlil and Balloun, 2009;Rice, 1999).…”

“…Previous research further suggests that the presence of religion influences corporate decision making (Hilary and Hui, ; McGuire et al ., , ; Dyreng et al ., ; El Ghoul et al ., ; Omer et al ., ; Cui et al ., ,b, ). From the extant literature on the religion–corporate decision‐making nexus, we maintain that we can gain valuable insights regarding the possible association between the degree of religiosity, CSR activities, and firm risk.…”

In this article, we examine the empirical influence of the combined effect of Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the degree of local community religiosity on firm risk by investigating their unidirectional and endogenous effects. Employing a large US sample, we find an inverse association between CSR-religiosity and firm risk after controlling for various firm characteristics. Also, after mitigating endogeneity bias, we still find a negative association between CSR-local community religiosity and firm risk. We interpret these results to support the social license to operate (SLO) explanation: the lower the level of firm risk, the higher the level of SLO.

“…However, no study has yet empirically considered a factor that plays a significant role in human rights decision making—religion. Prior studies have shown that religion can influence managerial decisions (e.g., Brammer, Williams, & Zinkin, ; Cui, Jo, Na, & Velasquez, ; Cui Jo, & Velasquez, ; Cui Jo, & Velasquez, ; Cui Jo, & Velasquez, ; Dyreng, Mayew, & Williams, ; El Ghoul, Guedhami, Pittman, & Saadi, ; Hilary & Hui, ; McGuire, Newton, Omer, & Sharp, ; McGuire, Omer, & Sharp, ; Omer, Sharp, & Wang, ). These studies suggest that religion may also influence a company's decisions regarding human rights.…”

This study examines the influence of Christian religion on corporate decisions related to human rights in the United States. Specifically, it examines the empirical association between a company's human rights practices and the Christian religiosity in its local community, as well as individual CEO religiosity in the United States, both of which have not been tested in prior studies. Employing a large sample from the United States, we find a congruent association between the "human rights friendly" practices of a company and the Christian religiosity of the local community. This novel finding is robust to a diverse set of tests. In addition, we find that the association between Christian religiosity in the United States and human rights is more significant in reducing human rights concerns, than it improves human rights strengths.This study interprets these results as upholding the religious morality hypothesis, namely, that companies located in areas with higher religiosity are likely to engage in more human rights-friendly practices, and the United States. Christians consider religion as an influencing factor that encourages managers to embrace human rights.Furthermore, this study finds that individual religious managers tend toward more human rights-friendly practices, supporting our religious manager hypothesis.
