Influence of Religion on Entrepreneurial Motivation among Muslim Students: Case of Algerian Students
Since Weber (1930), it is acknowledged some influence of religion on entrepreneurship. However, it remains unclear through what channels it operates. In this research, which is based on the psychology and sociology of religion and favours the multidimensional approach to religion, we wonder about the influence of the latter upstream of entrepreneurship and, specifically, its influence on the motivation to undertake. We prove the existence of this influence and also demonstrate, from a sample of Muslim students, as in the case of the Islamic religion, only the ritual dimension involved in this influence.
