Using rich data from roughly half a million 15-year-olds across 72 countries and economies participating in PISA 2018, this paper examines the predictors of adolescent subjective well-being (SWB) from a cross-cultural angle. Life satisfaction and affective well-being are found to be most strongly related to perceived meaning in life, self-efficacy, relationship quality, and peer SWB. Analyses by world region reveal several culture-specific explanations for interregional well-being gaps. In particular, low life satisfaction among academically high-performing students from Confucian East Asia is found to be associated with low meaning in life, low self-efficacy, low peer well-being, as well as with high emotional interdependence. In contrast, high life satisfaction among Latin American students can be explained by high peer well-being, high meaning in life, as well as low peer wealth. Limited evidence is also found for a negative relationship between academic performance and life satisfaction. Meanwhile, competition and cooperation among students does only affect life satisfaction of students in collectivistic societies.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between person-organization value fit and employee engagement, as well as to develop a new scale for measuring organizational engagement. We considered person-organization fit with a degree of similarity between personal values and organizational values. These values were measured by the Organizational Culture Profile (OCP). We divided employee engagement into two dimensions. These were “work engagement” and “organizational engagement.” Work engagement was measured by the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES). To measure organizational engagement, we constructed a 15-item Organizational Engagement Scale. We achieved this by examining its definition and existing scales. In order to collect data, available employees provided us with the relevant information. A total of 285 employees answered the questionnaires of this study. These employees worked in organizations that function in the service sector in Istanbul. Our reliability and factor analyses revealed that the Organizational Engagement Scale has a high reliability and two sub dimensions. These were named “organizational vigour" and “organizational dedication”. Regression analyses confirmed our research hypotheses: we found person-organization positively contributed to both work engagement and organizational engagement. However, we found that the contribution of person-organization fit to organizational engagement was more powerful than to work engagement.

Одним из основных условий достижения целей эффективного предпринимательства является наличие доверительных отношений между бизнес- партнерами. Это подтверждается многочисленными примерами из истории отечественного и зарубежного предпринимательства. Достаточно вспомнить доверительную силу выражения «ударить по рукам» (в западной практике – «джентльменское соглашение»), после чего не требовалось письменного подтверждения сделки. То есть доверие является объективной субстанцией, присутствующей при заключении любых сделок, оказывает непосредственное влияние не только на принятие решения сторонами о выполнении обязательств при подписании бизнес-договоров, но и на их дальнейшее эффективное исполнение, и может быть отнесена к «нематериальным» экономическим ресурсам бизнеса. Это также подтверждается тем, что в настоящее время многими исследователями доказывается, что доверие в современных условиях приобретает статус экономической категории. Оно становится важным фактором, который необходимо учитывать при разработке стратегии развития предприятий не только с позиций рыночных (внешних), но и производственных (внутренних) отношений при становлении систем управления предпринимательскими структурами.One of the main conditions for achieving the objectives of effective business is a trust between the business partners. This is supported by numerous examples from the history of domestic and foreign enterprises. Suffice it to recall the confidential because of the phrase "shake hands" (in the Western practice - a "gentleman's agreement"), and then did not require written confirmation of the transaction. That is, trust is the objective substance that is present at the conclusion of any transaction has a direct impact not only on the decision by the parties on the implementation of the obligations under signing of business contracts, but also on their continued effective execution, and can be attributed to the "intangible" economic resources of the business.

实现有效创业目标的一个基本条件是商业伙伴之间的信任关系。这一点得到了国内外企业家历史上许多例子的证实。只要记住“握手”这个词的可信度(在西方实践中是“君子协定”)，之后就不需要书面确认了。因此，信任是任何交易的客观组成部分，不仅直接影响当事人的决定，履行他们的承诺，而且影响他们的有效执行，可以被视为“非物质”经济资源。这也得到了许多研究人员的证实，他们现在证明，在现代环境中，信任具有经济地位。在制定企业发展战略时，不仅要从市场(外部)的角度考虑，而且要从内部(内部)生产(内部)关系来考虑。一个主要的合作关系是由商业伙伴建立的信任。这是来自家庭历史和财富企业的numerous examples的支持。这是对“摇摆手”(“摇摆手”)的支持，而不是“摇摆手”的要求。That is, trust is the objective substance That is present at the conclusion of any事务has a direct impact not only on the decision by the party on the传达of the obligations under落款of business contracts, but also on their延续effective金陵十三intangible》and can be attributed to the economic resources of the business。这是《经济学人》中《经济学人》中最受欢迎的事实。这是一个不受影响的因素，当市场开发的时候，但在市场开发平台上，但与商业管理的系统相关。

Major League Soccer (MLS) officials have focused on the construction of soccer-specific stadiums as a key aspect of the league’s development strategy. Research in numerous professional sport contexts has found that teams tend to experience an increase in attendance after moving into new stadiums. Researchers have termed this phenomenon the novelty effect. Given MLS’s longtime emphasis on constructing soccer-specific stadiums, the purpose of the current study was to examine the extent to which a novelty effect exists in MLS. Results of a repeated measures t test indicated that clubs experienced an increase in attendance during their first season in a soccer-specific stadium, and this novelty effect appears to persist to a significant extent for at least 3 years. However, the relatively young age of the league, the success of a club such as Seattle Sounders FC playing in a multipurpose venue, and the costs associated with stadium construction present important issues for further research and consideration.
