Abstract
This study examines the effects of three religious perspectives on business (RPB) on the

ethical operation and charitable giving of third-world business entrepreneurs. The study finds

that business entrepreneurs who perceive their business as a calling and holy duty are more

ethical in the operation of their business. Carrying reward- or fatalistic attitudes towards

business have, on the other hand, no significant effects on ethical operation. For charitable

giving all three perspectives demonstrate negative significant effects. However, commitment

to the duty and calling orientation together with more business experience or education

brings about positive and significant effects on charitable giving. The results indicate that the

view of doing sacred work should be stimulated in the Third World in order to increase the

number of ethically-operated enterprises taking economic responsibility for people in need.

Theoretical- and managerial implications are provided.
