Purpose The purpose of this study is to propose and test predictors of millennials’ social entrepreneurial intent (SEI), mediating mechanisms and influential contextual factors. Design/methodology/approach This study includes survey data from 1,890 respondents, 315 each from China, Mexico, Nigeria, Philippines, Russia and the USA. Findings Empirical results show that social entrepreneurial self-efficacy (SESE) mediated the relationship between perseverance and proactive personality and the dependent variable SEI in all six countries. Life satisfaction positively moderated this relationship among US students and negatively moderated it among Chinese students. In China dissatisfaction appears to enhance SEI, while in the US satisfaction appears to do so. Originality/value This paper identifies the mediating role of SESE and the moderating role of life satisfaction when explaining SEI, as well as providing data from millennials in six countries.
The article presents a review of the literature and the results of an empirical study of strategies for repayment of multiple debts in a laboratory experiment and their connection with the personality traits of the respondents (N = 348). The main strategies of debt repayment are identified - Rational, Semi-rational, Aversive, Distributive, Chaotic and Ignoring of small numbers. The smallest group in the empirical study is the group of respondents with Rational strategy. Respondents of all the groups, except Rational, were compared among themselves on personal characteristics. Respondents with the Semi-rational strategy, in contrast to respondents with other strategies, demonstrate a greater propensity for risk. An Aversive strategy is characterised by a tendency to reduce the number of debts and is demonstrated by respondents when performing various tasks. Respondents with a Chaotic strategy made multiple mistakes in the simulation and, in comparison with all other respondents, are less open to new experience. Respondents with a strategy for paying off debts Ignoring small numbers turned out to be more benevolent than Chaotic respondents and respondents with the Close to rational strategy.
Компоненты и предикторы «хорошей жизни» (опыт международного сравнительного исследования)Т. А. горошникова a , Е. С. Смахтин b a, b Финансовый универистет, Москва, Россия a https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4033-0210; b https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9937-4277АННОТАЦИя В поисках ответа на один из старейших философских вопросов «Что такое " хорошая жизнь (good life)"»? и в связи с его скрытой сложностью исследователи, как правило, обращаются к различным теориям. Концепция хорошей жизни многогранна. Моральный аспект подразумевает, что человек живет хорошо или прожил достойную жизнь с точки зрения норм, принятых в обществе, т. е. он мужественный, честный, заслуживающий доверия, добрый, бескорыстный, щедрый, верный. Он не тратит время, преследуя свое собственное удовольствие, а уделяет его деятельности, приносящей пользу другим. Исследовательский анализ предполагает, что можно измерить семь факторов «хорошей жизни», основываясь на 59 пунктах опросника. Анкетирование было проведено в семи учебных заведениях разных стран: России, Филиппин, Болгарии, США, Тайваня и Китая. В статье предложена теоретическая модель «хорошей жизни», построенная на концепции предпосылок и следствий. Ключевые слова: хорошая жизнь; компоненты хорошей жизни; предикторы хорошей жизни; оптимизм; духовность; эмпатия; удовлетворенность жизнью Для цитирования: горошникова Т. А., Смахтин Е. С.

ABsTRACTIn search of an answer to one of the oldest philosophical questions "What is ' good life?'" and because of its hidden complexity, researchers tend to turn to different theories. The concept of a good life is multifaceted. The moral aspect implies that a person lives well or has lived a decent living in terms of the norms accepted in society, i. e. they are courageous, honest, trustworthy, kind, selfless, generous, loyal. He does not spend time pursuing his pleasure but devotes it to activities that benefit others. Exploratory analysis suggests that it is possible to measure the seven factors of "good life", based on 59 items of the questionnaire. The survey was conducted in seven educational institutions in different countries: Russia, the Philippines, Bulgaria, the United States, Taiwan and China. The article offers a theoretical model of the "good life" based on the concept of prerequisites and consequences. Keywords: good life; components of a good life; predictors of a good life; optimism; spirituality; empathy; life satisfaction For citation: Goroshnikova T. A., smakhtin E. s.
