long run cultural divergence evidence from the neolithic revolution
Journal of Development Economics, 2016Co-Authors: Ola Olsson, Christopher PaikAbstract:This paper investigates the long-run influence of the Neolithic Revolution on contemporary cultural norms as reflected in the dimension of Collectivism–individualism. We present a theory of agricultural origins of cultural divergence, where we claim that the advent of farming in a core region was characterized by collectivist values and eventually triggered the out-migration of individualistic farmers towards more and more peripheral areas. This migration pattern caused the initial cultural divergence, which remained persistent over generations. Using detailed data on the date of adoption of Neolithic agriculture among Western regions and countries, the empirical findings show that the regions which adopted agriculture early also value obedience more and feel less in control of their lives. The findings add to the literature by suggesting the possibility of extremely long-lasting norms and beliefs influencing today's socioeconomic outcomes.

long run cultural divergence evidence from the neolithic revolution
Social Science Research Network, 2015Co-Authors: Ola Olsson, Christopher PaikAbstract:This paper investigates the long-run influence of the Neolithic Revolution on contemporary cultural norms and institutions as reflected in the dimension of Collectivism-individualism. We outline an agricultural origins-model of cultural divergence where we claim that the advent of farming in a core region was characterized by collectivist values and eventually triggered the out-migration of individualistic farmers towards more and more peripheral areas. This migration pattern caused the initial cultural divergence, which remained persistent over generations. The key mechanism is demonstrated in an extended Malthusian growth model that explicitly models cultural dynamics and a migration choice for individualistic farmers. Using detailed data on the date of adoption of Neolithic agriculture among Western regions and countries, the empirical findings show that the regions which adopted agriculture early also value obedience more and feel less in control of their lives. They have also had very little experience of democracy during the last century. The findings add to the literature by suggesting the possibility of extremely long lasting norms and beliefs influencing today's socioeconomic outcomes.

beyond social exchange Collectivism s moderating role in the relationship between perceived organizational support and organizational citizenship behaviour
European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology, 2015Co-Authors: Daan Van Knippenberg, Janwillem Van Prooijen, Ed SleebosAbstract:Perceived organizational support plays an important role in the social exchange relationship between the employee and the organization. We propose that individual differences in Collectivism affect the extent to which employee–organization relationships are based on social exchange, and that therefore Collectivism moderates the relationship between perceived organizational support and organizational citizenship behaviour. Results of a survey (N = 293) assessing perceived organizational support, Collectivism, and supervisor ratings of organizational citizenship behaviour supported this hypothesis. We conclude that organizational citizenship behaviour originates from social exchange processes only among employees who construe the self in relatively individualistic terms.

walking the straight and narrow the moderating effect of evaluation apprehension on the relationship between Collectivism and corruption
PLOS ONE, 2015Co-Authors: Zhenwei Huang, Wenwen Zheng, Xian ZhaoAbstract:Previous studies obtained mixed results regarding the association between Collectivism and corruption. To make sense of the mixed results, the current research examined the moderating role of evaluation apprehension on the relationship between Collectivism and corruption. Study 1, using a bribery scenario, indicated that Collectivism facilitated corruption only when evaluation apprehension was low. Study 2, using a real money bribery game, confirmed the moderated model found in Study 1. Study 3 further demonstrated the different effects of vertical/horizontal Collectivism on corruption. Our results suggest that a society may effectively combat corruption by increasing its social costs while, at the same time, retaining its collectivistic values.
