摘要

This study seeks to bridge a gap in the existing literature by exploring the role of religion in entrepreneurship among Christians and Buddhists, specifically within the restaurant industry. We use entrepreneurial orientation (EO), proposed as a critical component of high-performing organizations, to examine how religion affects the entrepreneurial mindset. Our findings show that religion has a significant and positive effect on EO dimensions such as autonomy, risk-taking, innovativeness, and proactiveness in the restaurant industry. Additionally, the relationship between religion and these EO dimensions is mediated by entrepreneurial self-confidence, which refers to entrepreneurs’ confidence in business competition.
