The repository of literature studying the relationship between economic indicators and social capital through traditional surveys data is growing. At the same time, the emergence of social networks has created competing big data that require in-depth analysis and comparison of results. The aim of this research is to analyze the interaction between countries’ economic outcomes and proxy indicators of social capital, considering and comparing the traditional data of surveys and Facebook’s data of social connectedness index. Correlation analysis, Granger and Dumitrescu Hurlin Panel Causality tests, Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression methods of analysis on panel and cross-country data are used to show that countries’ GDP per capita indicator is a cause for higher social capital, while social connectedness indicators explain only a very small part of the GDP per capita indicator. It is also shown that institutional trust and networks elements of social capital are the most influential and statistically significant explaining variables of GDP per capita (in case of the latter variable, the connection is two-sided). The scientific contribution of this study is that it brings research growing in two different directions into one dimension. The results of the analysis are also of practical importance for public policy development, social media companies and the buyers-users of their data.

This article analyzes financing alternatives for SMEs in El Salvador (Central America) that operate in the context of high levels of crime. SMEs represent 9.0% of the country's business sector, and together with micro-enterprises they account for 99.6%. Likewise, both participate with 35% of GDP and 67% of employment. The loans from the financial system, as of December 31, 2020, amounted to $3,107.22 million, which covered 60% of SMEs’ demand. Four hypotheses are proposed and tested using Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes (MIMIC), a structural equation model (SEM). The model revealed that the Salvadoran banking system has low confidence in the country's SMEs, which makes it extremely difficult for these companies to obtain loans. Some structural changes in the country's financial sector are urgently needed, but the state of violence and degree of mistrust in financial and social institutions are difficulties that only a real state of law and order can overcome. This, in turn, can act as a catalyst for sustainable economic progress. The sample includes 405 cases obtained from the surveys of managers in various companies. They were carried out during the months of March, April, May and June in 2019.

The COVID-19 pandemic created a disruption of the educational system. The transition to e-learning in a state of emergency involved breaching barriers and challenges for both faculty and students. In the current study, we examine the opinion of students on the advantages of e-learning, in a systemic, multi-institutional perspective. Based on 1,859 respondents from several academic institutions, we employed a mixed methods research, combining quantitative and qualitative techniques. The findings show that variables related to time saving significantly affect the preference for e-teaching. In contrast, money-saving variables were not found to be significant. Reduction in travel time was found to be the most important dimension involved in the preference for e-teaching, followed by the convenience of studying from home and lesson recordings. These measures emphasize the advantages of digitization in the modern era and the option of perceiving learning as a consumer product that does not require physical presence. Globalization has facilitated e-commerce with no geographical barriers, from the convenience of one’s home or organization, together with a significant reduction in time required. However academic institutions are lagging in this regard. The COVID-19 era has raised the need for the academic establishment to adapt to the new reality and the advantages of technological modernization in the 21st century.

This paper aims to investigate the relationship between income growth and inequality in Vietnam. The study database was collected and calculated from 61 provinces in the period of 2006-2018. The economic equation is estimated with 3 types of data including the full sample, the North and the South regions, and six sub-economic regions. The empirical results present several important scientific contributions. First, the estimated results show the Kuznets curve hypothesis is confirmed in Vietnam when the relationship between income growth and inequality is presented by an inverted U-shaped curve. Second, the Kuznets curve does not occur in the provinces which have a high level of economic liberalization and a large private sector, as evidenced by the analysis of sub-samples. Economic integration is a progressive process provided foreign direct investment decreases inequality in most regions. Educational development helps to reduce inequality but this relationship is only found in the areas populated by ethnic minorities. The labour force has a positive and significant relationship to inequality, especially in regions with labour shortages, although this variable can even help reduce inequality in some sub-economic regions that have an abundance of labour. Tourism development and trade variables are considered to be the sources of inequality in lower development regions. The empirical results suggest that policymakers need to continuously reduce income inequality to support sustainable development in the future.

uropean Union (EU) has set the target of achieving carbon neutral society by 2050. The main way to ensure low carbon energy transition is to accelerate the penetration of renewables in households. However, there are many economic, social, technical, and behavioural barriers to this. In addition, the technologies for renewable energy generation are not affordable for low income households which are experiencing energy poverty and energy affordability problems. The paper critically analyses the barriers and state policies and measures for the support of renewable energy micro generation technologies in households. Based on the conducted analysis, the paper discusses the best ways to combat energy poverty and transition to low carbon energy in the EU. The main findings of the paper indicate that developing well-targeted policy measures for support of renewable energy technologies and energy renovation would be more beneficial than paying energy bills of low-income vulnerable population. Such policies would also help to solve the problem of just low carbon energy transition, as currently the vulnerable population are facing greater economic, social, behavioural, infrastructure and other barriers to using renewable energy in their homes.

This study aims to discern and quantify the personal and labour market characteristics, which are most relevant to the persistence of a gender wage gap in Lithuania. The Oaxaca-Blinder model, employed in this study, revealed the largest explained gender wage gap to be attributable to the characteristics of occupation and industry. These contribute to the gap mainly by the horizontal and vertical segregation effects, as women are more concentrated in typically ‘feminine’ jobs, which pay less. The educational attainment of women is slightly higher than that of men, and this reduces the gender wage gap in the Lithuanian labour market. The analysis also revealed that work in the public sector entails an increase in the gap despite greater wage transparency and a more regulated remuneration mechanism. This is due to the ‘glass ceiling’ effect or the pervasive resistance to the efforts of female workers to reach the top rank positions, which we find to be stronger in the public sector.

Among the indices used to measure organisational success, soft factors` role has become more important. Among these, well-being and organisational happiness are particularly important and are becoming more prominent in light of the pandemic. Their measurement is a challenge for management, as the available methods/indices developed in previous years, only partially cover the areas to be assessed. The aim of our research is to find an indicator that allows measuring employee satisfaction, well-being and happiness in a holistic approach. The logic of the best-estimated method (GNH of Business) is presented through a survey of an organisation. The results show that the measurement tool, developed in the context of Buddhist culture, can be adapted to European culture successfully. Based on a detailed analysis, gaps (requiring immediate managerial decisions) can be precisely identified as well as the areas for intervention by decision-makers. The balanced development of the organisation can be ensured following the logic provided by the method (based on a clear overview of all areas).

It is no longer a question today that in many cases employees find themselves in a situation where either they or their environment believe that they have committed a misdemeanor or sin at work. The perception of sin can depend on a number of factors, such as the particular organizational culture, management, employee preferences, the degree of trust in the organization, and so on. There are cases where we judge the same sin differently, making the severity and extent of the penalties involved vary. The present study examines workplace offenses and subsequent employer penalties and their impact. The researchers did not focus on illegal acts, but on those that violate moral standards or affect an employee's professional development and ability to advance in the workplace. The analysis made a distinction between misdemeanors that came to light and those that did not. The test results confirmed the following. The employees are more critical of their own faults than the employer, and this is especially true of moral faults. People experience sin and punishment differently by gender and age.

Migration flows within Europe intensified after the EU enlargement that enabled easier procedures for finding a job in another country. Among the various effects that migration can have on emigrant and immigrant economies, this paper aims to focus on and quantify the impact of migration flows on income levels in both groups of countries. The research covers the period of 2006-2019 and applies dynamic panel data analysis, the results of which highlight that the number of emigrants has a statistically significant impact on earnings in immigrant countries, while the number of immigrants has no significant effects. On the other hand, migration variables do not indicate a statistically significant impact on the earnings of any household type in the group of emigrant countries, whereas macroeconomic variables have a strong impact.

This study aims to demonstrate how senior leadership applies to high-reliability organizations' functions when managing the Coronavirus pandemic in healthcare organizations and extend the current research by focusing on identifying which functions are more important for the leadership when managing crises in healthcare organizations. To achieve the aim of the study, a qualitative research approach was applied with well-known statistical analyses. Descriptive statistics were applied to determine the characteristics of variables. A correlation matrix shows the relationship between variables, while explanatory factor analyses were employed to determine the reliability of the variables. Ordinary least square regression analysis was used to emphasize the relationship between the role of leadership and different functions in high reliability healthcare organizations in Turkey. It has been found that the role of leadership has a positive and significant relationship with organizational safety, organizational trust, collective mindfulness, flexibility, and communication functions. In addition, the importance of leadership in healthcare organizations will improve many functions in an effective and professional manner, which is reflected in the reduction of the spread of Coronavirus which has been found among workers and in different environments.
