**2. Literature Review**

Empirical investigations of the relationship between religious beliefs and managers' behaviour could be divided into four groups of research questions [16]: (1) questions investigating the legal and ethical matters of the concept and influence of religion in organisations; (2) questions testing the normative works applying religious values to issues of business morals; (3) questions analysing the religious institutions that implore elements of organisational sociology; and (4) questions examining the impact of religious beliefs on corporate economic performance. Although the first three groups of questions are predominantly of interest to solicitors, theorists, and sociologists, this study focuses on

the fourth group of questions—the impact of religious beliefs on managerial attitudes and behaviour. Accordingly, this group will be explained in turn.
