. Cultural intelligence (CQ) contributes to the wellbeing and satisfaction of individuals who are living abroad or meet members of other cultures and as such it influences the professional efficiency and competitiveness of organizations interacting with cross-cultural stakeholders. The paper investigates the impact of the individual factors (metacognitive, cognitive, motivational, and behavioral) of CQ on the adjustment of foreigners. The adjustment mechanism is explained in association with the individual CQ factors, using satisfaction with life as the mediator. The results of a PLS-SEM analysis on a sample of 191 foreign students studying at Czech universities have shown that all CQ factors, except for the cognitive one, are important in the process of adjusting to new intercultural (cross-cultural) situations. Our research further reveals that the effect of motivational CQ on satisfaction with life and adjustment is amplified by intercultural competencies and preparation. An individual who has spent a long time abroad in the past, has come into frequent contact with foreigners, knows the foreign language of the country they are staying in or has good linguistic skills will be more satisfied in a new country and will adjust more easily.

. This paper estimates the economic losses in Indonesia's tourism sector due to the COVID-19 pandemic using an Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Model (SARIMA). Additionally, an autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL) is employed to estimate the demand for tourism in Indonesia from the six largest inbound tourist countries, from 1989 to 2019. The results predict a decrease of nearly 16.65 million tourists and a potential loss of US$19.07 billion from January 2020-March 2021. Income per capita, relative prices, and substitution prices significantly impact the demand from overseas travelers for tourism opportunities in Indonesia. Tourism in Indonesia is considered as a luxury with a competitive price. The country could capitalize on the high willingness to pay of foreign tourists, strong income elasticity, and a positive perception of Chinese tourists. Complementary promotion policies from neighboring countries could help to attract more Chinese visitors. Inbound tourism from India may experience the largest negative impact from COVID-19 due to the large income elasticity, negative price elasticity, and a possible substitution in destinations amid changes in prices. Tourists from Singapore and Australia may soon revisit as they see Indonesia as an inexpensive destination. Japan may revisit depending on whether tourism prices in Indonesia remain competitive or not. Policy makers may investigate non-price policies as price-oriented ones will not be very effective.

The article uses the estimation method of the center of mass to model the country's health profile as an indicator for determining the prerequisites for the country's readiness to combat and prevent mass diseases. The authors identified the most relevant determinants that characterized society's social, economic, healthcare, and behavioral models. They formed a sequence of health profiles in the form of a four-pole barycentric model of balanced, composite dimensions. It was found that developed countries dominate according to the integrated value of the four dimensions. It indicates their significant economic, social, and medical opportunities for the population. According to the balance of dimension pairs, behavioral determinants influence the imbalance for developed countries, the health care determinants - for new industrial states. The pair of socio-economic development is the most critical for developing and the least developed countries. According to the resilience level, such countries as Ireland, Luxembourg, Iceland, Switzerland, Denmark, Greece, Australia were identified. As a result, Norway's health profile was found to be the most effective four-pole barycentric model with composite dimension efficiency, dimension pair balance, and stability level.

DOI: 10.14254/2071789X.2021/14-3/4 ABSTRACT. Studying economic culture fills in the research gap that refers to understanding how soft factors of the European Union's LEADER Programme influence economic growth. The aim of this paper is to present the regional specifics of selected economic culture elements of Local Action Group (LAG) communities from the peripheral regions of Eastern Poland. The research was based on literature analysis, the diagnostic poll method, and statistical analysis (measures of descriptive statistics and the Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA test). The features of economic culture exhibited some similarities in the selected voivodeships, but each of them also had its own characteristics. The normative system in particular voivodeships should be considered internally differentiated at the average level. Such a situation can create positive conditions for LAG development wherever the level of norms acquisition is high (mainly in the Podkarpackie and Lubelskie Voivodeships). In Warmińsko-Mazurskie, the level of trust in agents and organisations beyond LAGs (as prospective cooperation partners) is relatively low. The research outcomes can be the premise to suggest ways and mechanisms for LEADER Programme implementation at the regional level, such as: strengthening identification with the LEADER normative system as well as shaping the normative system in terms of norms referring to the area of economic activity; increasing the bridging social capital component, as this, in particular, seems to be crucial for the ability of organisations to grow and innovativeness.

. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to compare the probability of unemployment and duration of joblessness between partnered gays, lesbians and their straight peers in the EU. Design/methodology/approach. Existence of potential differences in the outcomes is tested by multilevel logistic regression model (probability of unemployment) and multilevel linear regression model (length of joblessness) using the EU Labour Force Survey data from 2008 to 2015. Findings. Gays have been found to have a significantly higher unemployment probability and (weakly significantly) a longer duration of joblessness than comparable straight men. No significant difference was identified in unemployment probabilities of lesbians and heterosexual women but the joblessness duration appears to be significantly shorter in lesbians. Originality/value. Previous research indicated that lesbians and gays face barriers in access to employment. To author’s knowledge this is the first study which in vestigates whether gay people experience prolonged joblessness.

. This ex-ante study explores the readiness of local stakeholders in a rural area to undertake the collective actions necessary to create a Geographical Indication on cheese to protect it from unfair competitiveness provided by brand usurpation. The paper provides an analytical model employable to assess the willingness of local stakeholders to cooperate on achieving a common goal in different post-communist rural areas. The proposed model combines operationalised, cognitive, and structural social capital indicators with Ostrom Conditions on collective action, referring to symmetric interests. Thus, it represents a methodology to realise a priori whether a local rural community is willing to undertake collective action to achieve a common objective. One hundred cheese producers were interviewed using scenario type questions. The results show that symmetric interests have the lowest effect on willingness to cooperate compared to structural social capital and demographics. The study indicates that better-educated respondents are more willing to cooperate than less well-educated. As in other post-communist countries, the educational and demographic factors can become an essential element, which may help overcome the negative perceptions of cooperation from the past.

. As reported by the GDP per capita Kosovo is one of the poorest countries in Europe. Relying on the importance and dependence of Kosovo`s economy, it is evident that the development of agriculture sector is among the prime concern of the country`s strategy and international support programs. Several international studies assess the potential of agricultural cooperatives in transforming traditional agricultural farms to modern market-oriented business units, accelerating growth and addressing rural poverty. This research aims to analyze the relationship between socio-demographic, agricultural, and economic factors pertaining to cooperative and noncooperative farmers in Kosovo and also shows their motivation and expectation related to agricultural practice and behavior. Primary data was collected in 2018 form 165 farmers through semi-structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi square and T-test. The results indicated that there was a significant difference (p<0.01) between cooperative and non-cooperative farmers in various factors. Results indicated that the cooperative farmers have agricultural education, more family members are engaged in agricultural activity, have more access to seasonal employees, sharing machinery, higher readiness to invest in machinery with other farmers, and a high level of trust, they mostly operate in vegetable production and have higher income. Furthermore, the results showed differences in sales chain between two groups of farmers. The results contribute to governmental and non-governmental agencies to encourage farmers to establish/join viable cooperatives.

. The paper aims to investigate whether trust in a host government can mitigate the negative effects caused by the social complexities facing low-status expatriates (LSEs) living in China. It models trust in host government as a mediator in the relationship between expatriates’ perception of status -based prejudice and their work attitudes; it further outlines the role of self-esteem in this relationship. The study seeks to expand knowledge in the domain of expatriate management by explaining the prejudicial behavior of host country towards low-status expatriates. Structural equation modelling was used to analyze responses from LSEs in China. The results provide the evidence that perceived discrimination negatively affects expatriates’ work attitudes and suggest that trust in the host government can mediate such effects. Self-esteem is found to be a significant moderator in the relationship. With this, the study empirically affirms social categorization theory, showing it to be a powerful lens through which LSE adaptability can be the behavior of host nationals towards low-status expatriates and can be further developed with regard to the adaptability of low-status expatriates.
