“…Culture, value, institution, and happiness were taken as the independent variables while the world's philanthropy was the dependent variable. Culture was measured by Hofstede index (Dulababu, 2017;Stojcic et al, 2016;Irfan, 2016;Ye et al, 2015;Luria et al, 2015;Smith, 2015), value was measured by WVS (Matei & Abrudan, 2018;Dimitrova et al, 2016;Ye et al, 2015;Smith, 2015), the measurement of institution was WGI (Helliwell et al, 2018;Awan et al, 2018;Einolf, 2017;Bayar, 2016;Asuquo, 2015), happiness was indicated by happiness index (Helliwell et al, 2018;Dulababu, 2017) and philanthropy was measured by CAF index (Einolf, 2017;Stojcic et al, 2016;Pholphirul, 2015;Luria et al, 2015;Smith, 2015).…”

“…The outcomes of the study showed that political stability, education index, corruption, and government effectiveness significantly influenced economic growth. Matei and Abrudan, (2018) investigated that national culture (or people's perception) varies from nation to nation. The data was collected from WVS and EVS (European Value Survey), from 1990 to 2014.…”

The main aim of this study was to investigate the impact of culture, values, institutions, and happiness on the world’s philanthropy. Culture is measured by Hofstede index (i.e. individualism-collectivism, masculinity-femininity, long and short-run orientation, uncertainty avoidance, power distance, and indulgence-restraint). The measurement of value is WVS (World Value Survey) and it consists of the emotion of happiness, active/ inactive membership of a church or religious organization, important in life; religion, confidence on charitable/ humanitarian organization and active/ inactive membership of charitable/ humanitarian organization. Institutions are measured by WGI (World Governance Indicators) and it consists of corruption, regulatory quality, accountability and voice, rule of law, political stability and government effectiveness, the sub-variables of happiness (index) are social support, freedom to take decisions and generosity and world’s philanthropy is measured by CAF (Charitable Aid Foundation) world giving index. We have gathered panel data (from the period 2010 to 2014) of CAF index, happiness index and WGI of 62 countries and cross-sectional data of CAF index, Hofstede index, WGI, happiness index and WVS of 24 countries. The result (of panel data) shows that there is a significant relation of WGI, social support and freedom of choice with CAF index whereas there is an insignificant connection between generosity and CAF index. The findings (of cross-sectional data of all factors combined) shows that there is a relation of the Hofstede index and happiness index with the CAF index while there is no linkage of WGI and WVS with the CAF index. The study suggests that charitable organizations should personify their value in order to build trust among the public. Countries should improve their governance because this will lead to equality and by doing this countries will also manage their resources efficiently and effectively.

Higher education and the importance of values: evidence from the World Values Survey

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The collection of data on values through instruments such as the World Values Survey has focused attention on two opposing but inter-related trends, namely the combination of substantial cultural change in many countries and the persistence of distinctive traditional values. This reflects the interplay between social changes associated with modernisation and globalisation—including increased global trade and the rise of global popular culture—with traditional values country-specific systems. In this paper, we introduce a focus on another potentially important source of change, that of widening higher education participation and attainment, and the extent to which self-reported values differ between university graduates and non-graduates. We investigated this question using data from the most recent collection of the World Values Survey (2017–2020) for six core values—family, friends, leisure, work, politics, and religion—and tested for the influence of higher education attainment on the perceived “importance” of each value and the extent to which this influence differs across values and in gender, generation and country grouping sub-samples. We find evidence for consistent effects in most contexts, with no statistical differences between graduates on non-graduates in relation to the propensity to view family and work as important, statistically significant positive effects on the propensity of graduates to view friends, leisure, and politics as important, and a significant negative effect in relation to religion.
