Résumé:An extrapolation is made from Weber's Protestant Ethic Thesis which takes into account the development of managerial, or collective, forms of capitalist entrepreneurship. Managers are predicted to have an elective affinity for religious beliefs which see God more as friend than as king and people as tending to be helpful and trustworthy rather than as selfishly out for their own advantage. Results provide mixed support for the hypothesis extrapolated from the Weber Thesis.
