Abstract The work that an individual engages in shapes and fulfils human dignity by providing for one’s need and that of his/her family as it allows an individual to contribute his/her own quota to the progress of a business venture, enterprise, or organization either personal or otherwise, and to appreciate the usefulness of such contributions. The respect for, protection of, and promotion of the dignity of the individual in the workplace should therefore be the ultimate aim that individual and organizations must strive for as this will help in creating Nigerian workplaces that are dignified, and when there are dignified workplaces, the society becomes more and more productive, as they continue to experience success, growth, progress, and development.

Abstract The research aims to assess how rational investors are in making real estate crowdfunding investment decisions and weather similar rationality investors share common individual-level characteristics. The research data was collected through an online survey and investors’ rationality was assessed according to risk & return and behavioral biases criteria. Results revealed that 18% of the respondents were rational and as much as 78.1% of them demonstrated bounded rationality behavior. Further clustering of bounded rationality investors identified three distinct clusters and suggested that bounded rationality proved to be largely based on established behavioral biases rather than on failing to understand and apply risk and return criteria. In terms of individual-level characteristics, rationality of real estate crowdfunding investors significantly related to their financial knowledge, but not to their age, sex, income level, education, occupation, residence and interface with finance sector.

Abstract The paper analyses the impact of employees’, as brand ambassadors’, communication on consumer behavior by empirically evaluating and comparing it from the view of customers. The theoretical part of the paper discusses the concept of brand ambassadors, specifics of employees as brand ambassadors and communication features related to it. After discussing theoretical insights on the topic, it is continued with the findings of the study from the selected Lithuanian case addressing main research question – how communication of employees as brand ambassadors affects consumer behavior. Research results proved that communication of employees as brand ambassadors increase customer interest and trust towards the company, however the impact towards purchase intention is not significant.

Abstract This paper aims to evaluate the factors determining countries’ private credit level as well as to identify the differences of their effect during the periods when the levels of country private credit exceeded 100 percent of GDP or were below. The research methodology relies on two modifications of the multiple regression model with log differences of variables. Research results showed a negative impact of economic growth and a positive impact of consumer prices and housing prices on the level of private credit. It has also been found that in the first period when the level of private credit to GDP exceeds the 100 per cent threshold households tend to borrow more than in other periods. In the second model distinguishing between periods when the level of country’s private credit was below 100 per cent of GDP and when this level was reached or exceeded the research showed that the effects of economic growth do not differ between periods of high and low indebtedness, but the difference becomes apparent when assessing the impact of household income and expenditure, thus confirming the impact of the marginal financial depth.

Abstract This article examined how female academics in some selected universities in Ogun State, in Nigeria, cope with the stress of balancing their work and family life. Data was obtained using a semi-structured questionnaire. Relying on the findings of this study, a proposition was made that utilizing more coping strategies would allow female academics to achieve a balance in both their work and family life.

Abstract Regionalization denotes certain sub-systems, which appear to be present in the apparently globalized world. The research aim is to compare regionalization measurement methods, used in prior research. Results reveal that the most common gravity equations method could be improved by adding weighted network measures in order to capture the complexity of the researched phenomena.

Moreover, the existing reviews did not generate a comprehensive discussion around this particular theme. Therefore, this study aims to systematically review the scientific literature on the relationship between work motivation and employees’ workaholism.

Abstract As customers become immune to most forms of advertisement on the Internet, marketers seek new ways to get the attention of branded content. As podcast content on YouTube gains more and more users’ attention in the world and Lithuania, it raises the urge for both marketing professionals and researchers of the marketing field to analyse the possibilities of brands and its content integration in the podcasts. The problem analysed is how effectively integrate brand content into Youtube podcasts in Lithuania. Thus, the paper aims to analyse the phenomenon of brand content integration and to reveal its possibilities in You-Tube podcasts in Lithuania.
