上层理论指出，组织参与可以复制公司中占主导地位的参与者的经验、个性和价值观。基于这一理论，本研究考察了宗教(佛教和道教)在新兴市场(中国)就业保护中的作用。利用2010年中国民营企业的数据，实证结果表明，宗教与就业保障之间存在正相关关系，表明宗教在改善就业保障中起到了积极的作用。此外，宗教与就业保护之间的关系在正规制度较强的地区更为突出。根据有限的数据来源和对中国的少数研究，本研究为宗教与就业保护之间的关系提供了新的证据。
The upper echelons theory states that organizational engagements may replicate the experiences, personalities and values of dominant players within a firm. Based on this theory, this study examines the effect of religion (Buddhism and Taoism) on employment protection in an emerging market (China). Using data collected from Chinese private firms in 2010, the empirical results show that employment protection is positively associated with religion, indicating that religion plays a positive role in improving employment protection. Moreover, the relationship between religion and employment protection is more prominent in regions with stronger formal institutions. According to the restricted data resources and the few studies in the context of China, this study presents a new proof of the relationship between religion and employment protection.
