Islamic entrepreneurial intentions: an interplay of self-efficacy, moral judgements, perceptions of entrepreneurship and halal income
Ishfaq Ahmed et al.
Abstract
Purpose Building upon self-regulation theory, this study aims to propose and empirically investigate the relationship of moral judgment, Islamic perceptions of entrepreneurship and perceptions of halal income with Islamic entrepreneurial intentions. This study also proposes the boundary condition of Islamic entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Design/methodology/approach Data for the current study is collected from two countries i.e. Oman and Pakistan. Questionnaires have been used to elicit the responses of undergraduate students of both countries. Convenience sampling techniques have been used to approach the respondents. Findings Analysis of data reveals that moral judgements, Islamic perceptions of entrepreneurship and perceptions of halal income are related with the Islamic entrepreneurial intentions (IEIs) of respondents from both samples. Islamic entrepreneurial self-efficacy moderates the relationship of all paths for both samples, except the relationship of moral judgment and IEIs of the Omani sample. Originality/value The study proposes a novel model of Islamic entrepreneurial intentions, which is built upon the self-regulation theory. The research is scant on this theoretical lens when the author look for entrepreneurial intentions or behavioral perspectives.
