The Relationship between Religiosity and Iranian Entrepreneur's Achievements

Islam has directly addressed the issue of business and considered it as one of the most significant issues in life. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between religiosity and Iranian entrepreneurs’ achievements using the multi-component religiosity scale proposed by Khodayaryfard, et al. as well as the standards set for measuring the Iranian top entrepreneurs’ achievement by the Ministry of Cooperative, Labor and Social Welfare. The results of this descriptive study in which Pearson Test Spearmen formula and ANOVA Test were utilized to analyze the data collected from 114 subjects revealed that there was no significant relationship between religiosity and entrepreneurs’ achievements. However, the total score for religiosity and the score for each single component (beliefs, affection and behaviors) indicated a high level of religiosity which was also in conformity with the results obtained by Khodayaryfard, et al. in their research project on measuring levels of religiosity.
