the institutional and Cultural Context of cross national variation in covid 19 outbreaks
medRxiv, 2020Co-Authors: Wolfgang MessnerAbstract:Background The COVID-19 pandemic poses an unprecedented and cascading threat to the health and economic prosperity of the world’s population. Objectives To understand whether the institutional and Cultural Context influences the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods At the ecological level, regression coefficients are examined to figure out Contextual variables influencing the pandemic’s exponential growth rate across 96 countries. Results While a strong institutional Context is negatively associated with the outbreak (B = −0.55 … −0.64, p Conclusions The results emphasize the need for public policy makers to pay close attention to the institutional and Cultural Context in their respective countries when instigating measures aimed at constricting the pandemic’s growth.

the institutional and Cultural Context of cross national variation in covid 19 outbreaks
medRxiv, 2020Co-Authors: Wolfgang MessnerAbstract:Background. The COVID-19 pandemic poses an unprecedented and cascading threat to the health and economic prosperity of the world9s population. Objectives. To understand whether the institutional and Cultural Context influences the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods. At the ecological level, regression coefficients are examined to figure out Contextual variables influencing the pandemic9s exponential growth rate across 96 countries. Results. While a strong institutional Context is negatively associated with the outbreak (B = -0.55 ... -0.64, p < 0.001), the pandemic9s growth rate is steeper in countries with a quality education system (B = 0.33, p < 0.001). Countries with an older population are more affected (B = 0.46, p < 0.001). Societies with individualistic (rather than collectivistic) values experience a flatter rate of pathogen proliferation (B = -0.31, p < 0.001), similarly for higher levels of power distance (B = -0.32, p < 0.001). Hedonistic values, that is seeking indulgence and not enduring restraints, are positively related to the outbreak (B = 0.23, p = 0.001). Conclusions. The results emphasize the need for public policy makers to pay close attention to the institutional and Cultural Context in their respective countries when instigating measures aimed at constricting the pandemic9s growth.

research on leadership in a cross Cultural Context making progress and raising new questions
Leadership Quarterly, 2003Co-Authors: Marcus W Dickson, Deanne Den N Hartog, Jacqueline K MitchelsonAbstract:It is almost cliche to say that there has been an explosion in the amount of research on leadership in a cross-Cultural Context. In this review, we describe major advances and emerging patterns in this research domain over the last several years. Our starting point for this update is roughly 1996–1997, since those are the dates of two important reviews of the cross-Cultural leadership literature [specifically, House, Wright, and Aditya (House, R. J., Wright, N. S., & Aditya, R. N. (1997). Cross-Cultural research on organizational leadership: A critical analysis and a proposed theory. In: P. C. Earley, & M. Erez (Eds.), New perspectives on international industrial/organizational psychology (pp. 535–625). San Francisco, CA) and Dorfman (Dorfman, P. W. (1996). International and cross-Cultural leadership research. In: B. J. Punnett, & O. Shenkar (Eds.), Handbook for international management research, pp. 267–349, Oxford, UK: Blackwell)]. We describe the beginnings of the decline in the quest for universal leadership principles that apply equivalently across all cultures, and we focus on the increasing application of the dimensions of culture identified by Hofstede [Hofstede, G. (1980). Culture's consequences: International differences in work-related values (Abridged ed.). Newbury Park, CA: Sage] and others to describe variation in leadership styles, practices, and preferences. We also note the emergence of the field of cross-Cultural leadership as a legitimate and independent field of endeavor, as reflected in the emergence of publication outlets for this research, and the establishment of long-term multinational multi-investigator research programs on the topic. We conclude with a discussion of progress made since the two pieces that were our departure point, and of progress yet to be made.

suitability of local resource management practices based on supernatural enforcement mechanisms in the local social Cultural Context
Ecology and Society, 2012Co-Authors: Masatoshi Sasaoka, Yves LaumonierAbstract:Environmental anthropological studies on natural resource management have widely demonstrated and thematized local resource management practices based on the interactions between local people and supernatural agencies and their role in maintaining natural resources. In Indonesia, even though the legal status of local people's right to the forest and forest resources is still weak, the recent transition toward decentralization presents a growing opportunity for local people to collaborate with outsiders such as governmental agencies and environmental nongovernmental organizations in natural resource management. In such situations, in-depth understanding of the value of local resource management practices is needed to promote self-directed and effective resource management. Here, we focus on local forest resource management and its suitability in the local social- Cultural Context in central Seram, east Indonesia. Local resource management appears to be embedded in the wider social-Cultural Context of the local communities. However, few intensive case studies in Indonesia have addressed the relationship between the Indigenous resource management practices closely related to a people's belief in supernatural agents and the social-Cultural Context. We illustrate how the well-structured use of forest resources is established and maintained through these interactions. We then investigate how local resource management practices relate to the social-Cultural and natural resources Context of an upland community in central Seram and discuss the possible future applications for achieving conservation.

entrepreneurs individual level resources and social value creation goals the moderating role of Cultural Context
International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behaviour & Research, 2019Co-Authors: Steven A Brieger, Dirk De ClercqAbstract:The purpose of this paper is to provide a better understanding of how the interplay of individual-level resources and culture affects entrepreneurs’ propensity to adopt social value creation goals.,Using a sample of 12,685 entrepreneurs in 35 countries from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, it investigates the main effects of individual-level resources – measured as financial, human and social capital – on social value creation goals, as well as the moderating effects of the Cultural Context in which the respective entrepreneur is embedded, on the relationship between individual-level resources and social value creation goals.,Drawing on the resource-based perspective and Hofstede’s Cultural values framework, the results offer empirical evidence that individual-level resources are relevant for predicting the extent to which entrepreneurs emphasise social goals for their business. Furthermore, culture influences the way entrepreneurs allocate their resources towards social value creation.,The study sheds new light on how entrepreneurs’ individual resources influence their willingness to create social value. Moreover, by focussing on the role of culture in the relationship between individual-level resources and social value creation goals, it contributes to social entrepreneurship literature, which has devoted little attention to the interplay of individual characteristics and culture.

novel psychosocial factor involved in diabetes self care in the japanese Cultural Context
Journal of Diabetes Investigation, 2019Co-Authors: Fumika Mano, Kaori Ikeda, Yukiko Uchida, Iting Huaiching Liu, Erina Joo, Mizuyo Okura, Nobuya InagakiAbstract:AIMS/INTRODUCTION Recent evidence shows that Cultural Context can influence the management of diabetes mellitus. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between interdependence, which is valued in the Eastern Cultural Context, and diabetes self-care behavior in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. MATERIAL AND METHODS We carried out a cross-sectional survey of 161 Japanese adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus using well-established questionnaires. The association of an interdependent tendency with diabetes self-care activities was analyzed using multiple regression analysis. RESULTS Diabetes self-care activities had a negative correlation with interdependent tendency (r = -0.16, P = 0.047), and they had positive correlations with age (r = 0.42, P < 0.001), emotional support (r = 0.25, P = 0.001) and diabetes self-care support (r = 0.36, P < 0.001). When patients were divided into two groups at the median age (68 years), multiple regressions showed that interdependent tendency (β = -0.20, P = 0.048), male sex (β = -0.24, P = 0.023), emotional support (β = 0.22, P = 0.028) and diabetes self-care support (β = 0.39, P < 0.001) were significant determinants of diabetes self-care activities only in the younger group. CONCLUSIONS Interdependence might influence diabetes self-care behavior, and intervention focusing on support from close others might lead patients to more successful care among Japanese adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially those aged <68 years.
