Culture is deemed to be a crucial basis for innovation in various respects. The aim of this paper explore the relationships between different cultural dimensions introduced by G. Hofstede (2001 Hofstede, 2001. Culture's consequences: Comparing values, behaviors, insititutions, and organizations across nations , 2, Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage. [Google Scholar], nations, 2nd ed., Sage) capability initiating measured number patent applications using sample European countries at regional level. As...

Abstract We examine the cultural context for individual's trust in public institutions. To shed some light on possible explanations from a more comparative perspective and cover wider set of aspects, we use indicators dimensions by Kaasa et al . (2014) based Hofstede's (1980) approach. Multilevel regression analysis is conducted with individual-level data two waves European Social Survey (2008, 2010) regional-level multiple sources. Confirmatory factor used to construct social institutional...

Cross-cultural research in social and behavioral sciences has expanded hugely over the past 50 years, but progress is currently hampered by a lack of appreciation profoundly differing principles goals two distinct traditions. The first main variant cross-cultural psychology (CCP), focusing on how culture shapes individual psychological functioning. second was pioneered Hofstede. It studies societal differences, we name it “comparative culturology” (CC). We explain these paradigms differ. CCP...

This article investigates the effect that various individual-level determinants have on social capital, this in order to find out whether there are differences between transition and non-transition countries Europe. The novelty lies more comprehensive sets of both dimensions capital covered. Data from World Values Survey 31 European (including 16 countries) analysed. Based estimates measurement structural model all individually, clustered within three groups facilitate comparison countries....

This article draws attention to the European Social Survey (ESS) database that widens horizon of cross-cultural studies. The ESS has potential overcome several weaknesses earlier data sets used for analysis – it provides unique opportunities differences between regions within nation states, and are representative entire populations. We aim develop a measurement tool cultural dimensions based on enables deeper comparison besides country-level analysis. For creating ESS-based indicators,...

Purpose Recent studies exposed serious issues with Hofstede's popular model of culture, especially his uncertainty avoidance (UA) and masculinity-femininity (MAS–FEM) dimensions. However those did not focus on work-related as in Hofstede’s research. Design/methodology/approach We followed approach to dimensions more closely than anyone before a large cross-cultural study. used data from the nationally representative International Social Survey Program (over 50,000 respondents 47 countries),...

Various models of subjective culture (measures self-reports) have been proposed since Hofstede’s original work but none them validated by showing that they analogs in objective societal practices). Inspired Bardi and Schwartz’s discovery individual-level circumplex values model has an exact equivalent a behaviors, we develop test for the purpose validating culture. We apply this to Minkov’s revised two-dimensional variant subjective-culture model, consisting individualism-collectivism...

There are various sets of cultural dimensions in the literature. Can they be merged into a single system? While previous studies have mainly compared different empirically, this article takes conceptual approach and explains how Hofstede’s, Schwartz’s, Inglehart’s models can one system. Instead looking at from by one, study uses novel approach: each set is viewed as unit covering certain space values, norms, beliefs, attitudes, etc. The results make it possible to arrange three visualized...

This study investigates how institutional quality and different dimensions of social capital influence a region's labour productivity.As novelty, regional-level data (80 regions 24 European countries) were analysed five included.Correlation regression analysis conducted.The results showed trust civic participation, which have not received much attention in the literature, to be most important for productivity.Improving would helpful productivity, but people's perception quality, institutions...

Globalization is highlighting existing cultural differences between nations, but what the future of these differences? We attempt to answer this question by analyzing evolution convergence-divergence across 18 select countries representing cross-national diversity globe in a balanced way. Using World Values Survey data (28,051 respondents from 1995 1998 and 30,453 same 2010–2014), we find evidence for global shift direction traits typical rich Western individualist countries. However,...

There is a need for simple and graspable model of culture covering the main cultural differences across modern nations. A two-dimensional might be reasonable choice. We analyzed data from World Values Survey European Study to test whether different models are factor rotations each other. took into account criticisms regarding choice items in Inglehart’s analysis same source. Nevertheless, we replicated his dimensions. By means rotation by various angles aligned our dimensions those Inglehart...

After Hofstede proposed individualism-collectivism (IDV-COLL) as a dimension of national culture, numerous studies have used that name to refer individual-level psychological constructs, based on theories and empirical operationalizations are not necessarily compatible with the tradition. This has created confusion. In this study, we investigate whether two revised Minkov-Hofstede dimensions culture - IDV-COLL “flexibility-monumentalism” (FLX-MON) counterparts if they isomorphic (have same...

This exploratory study investigates how various aspects related to religion are different dimensions of social capital, based on the latest data from European Values Study. The intends include as many religion-related variables possible and cover all main capital. In addition regression analysis, cluster analysis is used for further exploration religious composition its consequences broadest conclusions that highly but cognitive capital seem have a closer relationship with than structural...

This exploratory article aims to take first steps towards understanding whether a regional cultural background has, among other determinants, an influence on person’s entrepreneurial behaviour, relying the example of Germany. A multilevel approach is applied combining Global Entrepreneurship Monitor individual-level data about entrepreneurship with up-to-date dimensions indicators based Hofstede’s original at (NUTS 1) level. The results indicate that context important determinant behaviour....

The aim of this paper explore the relationships between different cultural dimensions introduced by Hofstede (2001) and capability initiating measured number patent applications using sample European countries at regional level. As novel approach, instead Hofstede's original index scores, measures are based on Social Survey (ESS). We have learned that successful patenting, region should power distance, uncertainty...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the possible relationship religion and culture with social capital in a particular region. Design/methodology/approach data 85 regions from 26 European countries are analysed.

Findings results both regression analyses indicate that dimensions capture reasons different...

The main aim of this multilevel analysis is to examine both personal values and cultural context as possible determinants the individual-level social capital.The data pertaining over 56,000 respondents from 85 regions are analysed with help regression analysis.The novelty article lies in incorporating a systematic approach covering many capital dimensions, including also involving findings show that important for individuals' results even imply more determining level than values.Some...

Recently Kaasa (2021) has developed a Cultural Models Synthesis Scheme (CMSS) merging together the cultural models of Hofstede, Schwartz and Inglehart. However, this theoretical framework still needs to be complemented by an empirical analysis. This exploratory study focuses on Schwartz’s model using ten-item battery in World Values Survey (WVS) inspired his questionnaire. We empirically position items into CMSS means Minkov (2022) that already includes Inglehart’s dimensions Minkov’s (2018)...
