In dominating narratives, economics has been portrayed as hard science, based on complex mathematical equations and rigid statistical models. It seems to be overlooked that it belongs to the domain of social sciences and that its roots stem from philosophy and ethics. After all, many classical economists were either ethicists (A. Smith) or clergymen (T. Bayes). Today’s managers also seem to be motivated mainly by the desire to increase their company’s profits. However, if managers wish to become both effective and respected leaders for their teams, they should build their power on ethical principles deeply rooted in Catholic Social Teaching. The purpose of the present paper is to attract attention to the relation of economics, management and religion. Behavioral economics and management come to our aid here by emphasizing that, when making decisions related not only to financial markets but also to managerial tasks, what matters is not only factors that are strictly financial, but also those are related to psychology or ethics. Using the example of ethical investing and faith-based funds or stock indexes the Authors show that Christian values and the social teaching of the Catholic Church are still important to some participants in the financial markets.

Artykuł wprowadza w problematykę inwestowania etycznego zwanego również inwestowaniem społecznie odpowiedzialnym - SRI (Socially Responsible Investing). Głównym celem przeprowadzonych przez Autorkę badań było przeanalizowanie popularności inwestowania etycznego wśród polskich inwestorów indywidualnych w Polsce. Wyniki badań wskazują na stosunkowo wysoki stopień świadomości idei inwestowania społecznie odpowiedzialnego wśród respondentów przy jednoczesnym niewielkim jej wykorzystaniu w praktyce inwestycyjnej. Dokładne analizy wyników badań pokazują, że niektóre zmienne demograficzne, takie jak przekonania religijne inwestorów czy płeć mają wpływ na skłonność respondentów do inwestowania etycznego.

This article presents the idea of ethical investing known also as Socially Responsible Investing (SRI). The research conducted by the author aimed to study the popularity of ethical investing among individual investors in Poland. The results of this research indicate a relatively high awareness of the SRI concept among investors, but a low level of applying the SRI idea in investment practice. Further analysis shows that some demographic factors, like religiosity or gender, influence the investors’ attitude towards SRI.
