Abstract

In this study explores the effect of the three-way interaction effect of emotion (entrepreneurial passion), Islamic work ethic, and cognition (promotion regulatory focus and locomotion regulatory modes) on green innovation performance in the Muslim entrepreneur context in Indonesia. This study responds the gap of studies that discuss the role of Islamic Work Ethic (IWE) in improving green innovation performance in Indonesia as a country with majority Muslim population. In addition, the role of interaction between emotions, IWE, and cognition is rarely studied by researchers. Moderated multiple hierarchical regression analysis will be used to examine the three-way interaction effect. The theoretical implication of this study provides insight how several theories interact with each other to explain how emotions, work ethics, and cognition affect green innovation performance (affective event theory, regulatory focus theory, and regulatory mode theory). The practical implication of this study is that green innovation performance of Muslim entrepreneurs improves when Muslim entrepreneur has a strong passion for environmental friendly business fields accompanied by a good Islamic work ethic and has a high promotion regulatory focus and locomotion regulatory mode.
