Corporate religiosity and individual decision on conducting entrepreneurial activity: The contingent effects of institutional environments in China
研究企业宗教性如何影响个人创业意愿，发现腐败市场中宗教性抑制创业，而市场化程度高的地区则促进创业，基于中国69个城市7109人的数据。
Abstract This study draws on the institutional void and institutional support perspectives to examine the contingent effect of institutional environments on the relationship between corporate religiosity and individual entrepreneurial activity in the context of emerging markets. We employ a composite dataset that covers 7109 individuals in 69 major cities across 25 provinces in China. Our study provides convincing evidence that individuals with strong corporate religiosity may be disinclined to conduct entrepreneurial activity in corrupted markets, but are more likely to engage in entrepreneurship in well-developed markets (ones characterized by high levels of marketization). This study displays the interplay of both institutional void and institutional support with corporate religiosity in shaping individual behaviors.
