Abstract: Abstract Religion practice in Nigeria is dominated by the three widely accepted faiths or religions – Christianity, Islam, and African traditional religion (ATR). Studies have shown that Nigeria is a religious society whereby average citizen is a follower of a particular faith at a different level of adherence and orientation. Triangulation approach was adopted for the study, and the Allport-Ross I/E scale was employed to determine and test religious orientation of business owners to understand the effects on disposition to business management; other set of scales were developed alongside to measure the effects of owners’ religiosity toward achieving performance. The study’ findings show that there is a negative relationship between business owners’ religiosity and business management and performance. Equally the business owners’ religion tenets only affect their intrinsicness and not their extrinsicness behaviors in business, and business-religion is developed to show the third motivation of religiosity in business.
