Divine Limitation or Enabler? Understanding How Religion Influences the Relationship Between Ethics and Creativity
Although research on ethics and creativity has been fruitful, it has also yielded mixed results and two different perspectives, raising questions about whether ethics hinders or facilitates creativity. These two perspectives have been fueled by limited consistency in terms of theoretical specification and mechanisms. One potentially important but overlooked factor that may help shed light on this relationship is religion. Building on the theory o…
Specifying the role of religion in entrepreneurial action
Research on the relationship between religion and entrepreneurship has produced mixed findings. We argue such equivocal findings are partly the result of under-specification of the role of religion in entrepreneurial action. To address this issue, we build on the process perspective of entrepreneurial cognition by simultaneously incorporating mental representations and cognitive resources. Specifically, we theorize a cognitive process that incorp…
Does religion matter to angels? Exploring the influence of religion in entrepreneurial investor decision-making
Despite the pervasive influence religion has on society, the role of religion in angel investor decision-making remains unknown. This study tests a model of how religion – both as a guiding institutional logic and a personal religious belief – influences angel investor evaluations. Drawing on the similarity attraction paradigm and expectancy violation theory, two scenario-based experiments find religion has a persistent but nuanced influence on i…

It is precisely because there are important conflicts, tensions, and paradoxes in religion and entrepreneurship that this stream of research is important to the field of entrepreneurship as a source of meaningful heterodoxy. Without grappling with these values and concerns, entrepreneurship scholars are left with an incompl…
Trying to Serve Two Masters is Easy, Compared to Three
While research has focused on financial and social goals in impact investing, we add to the limited research that focuses on how individuals manage identity multiplicity , defined as three or more role identities. Based on our qualitative study of Christian impact investors, we develop a model of identity multiplicity work, explaining how individuals manage their multiple role identities (financial, social, and religious) to reduce identity tensi…

Clarifying the Relational Ties of Organizational Belonging
In order to clarify the roles of relational ties within the perceived organizational membership theoretical framework, we test the discriminant validity and concurrent predictive validity of perceived insider status, psychological ownership, and organizational identification. Hypotheses were tested using confirmatory factor analysis and hierarchical multiple regression for a sample of 347 workers across two industry segments. Results indicate tha…
