“…Thus, hypothesis H1 is confirmed. At the same time, these results show a similarity with those gained in previous research into the impact of organizational culture on PR, for example (Sriramesh et al, 1996;Harris et al, 1999;Curtin, 2008;Erzikova & Berger, 2016;Yeo & Pang, 2017;Thurlow et al, 2017).…”

The study presents the results of the impact of organizational culture on public relations in business organizations. The data were obtained from a survey of 415 respondents from 93 companies in Serbia. The following statistical methods were used: descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, regression analysis and hierarchical regression analysis. Some of the most important conclusions of the research follow: In most cases, the organizational culture dimensions have a statistically significant and positive influence on the communication models of public relations (CMPR) dimensions and the organization – public relations (OPR) dimensions; A favorable organizational culture (represented through the favorable values of the organizational culture dimensions) has a positive impact on two-way models of communication, especially the symmetrical model, as well as on most of the OPR dimensions. On the other hand, an unfavorable organizational culture encourages one-way communication and the organization’s orientation solely for its own benefit; The Power Distance dimension acts in contrast to the other dimensions of organizational culture: high power distance impedes two-way communication and promotes the utility of the company, all of which causes public distrust and dissatisfaction.

“…This finding shows that the development of democracy in Indonesia is getting better, which is one indicator, according to Nashriyah et al (2020), is the reduction of gender discrimination. Moreover, public relations is a profession dominated by female workers (Erzikova & Berger, 2016;Place & Vanderman-Winter, 2018) or female concentrated and female dominated (Pompper & Jung, 2013).…”

This study aims to describe the public and practitioner's perceptions of the public relations or Humas profession. Public relations plays a role in maintaining the credibility of the organization which is built from public perceptions. Apart from public relations, this profession is also called humas. However, based on Propechy's Self-Fulfilling Theory, it is possible to have different meanings by the public and practitioners related to these two terms. This study uses a constructivist approach (qualitative) and interview methods to collect data. The number of informants was 200 people in Malang City. The focus of this research is to find perceptions about what public relations or humas is, its functions, its relation to gender, and educational background. This research produces four propositions, namely public and practitioner perceptions of public relations and humas tends to be positive, public relations and humas are considered the same profession, men and women are perceived to be practitioners in this profession, and practitioners should come from the discipline of communication science and public relations. This research contributes to challenge the previous view that public relations is seen as an attempt to manipulate communication messages.

“…Indeed, multi-country studies, which have included fSU countries that have examined discrimination related to age (van den Heuvel & van Santvoort, 2011;Vauclair et al, 2015) and significant disability (Alonso et al, 2008), have reported not only relatively high rates of discrimination in this region but also differences in overall levels and in different forms of stigma and discrimination (Alvarez-Galvez & Salvador-Carulla, 2013;Ayalon, 2014). Importantly, other research within individual fSU countries has shown that discrimination on grounds of mental health (Krupchanka et al, 2017), disability (Phillips, 2002), ethnicity (Popov & Kuznetsov, 2008), sexual orientation (Wilkinson, 2013) and physical disease (HIV) (Amirkhanian, Kelly, & McAuliffe, 2003) is common, as is sexism (Erzikova & Berger, 2016;Knapp, DuBois, Hogue, Astakhova, & Faley, 2017). Moreover, as it is also known that the prevalence of mental ill health is comparatively high in some fSU countries (Ferrari et al, 2013;Van de Velde, Bracke, & Levecque, 2010), an examination of the association between discrimination and psychological distress in the general population might be particularly instructive, especially as an earlier study in Ukraine reported an association between comorbid mood and anxiety disorders and perceived stigma (including discrimination) (Alonso et al, 2008).…”

Background: Perceived discrimination has been linked to worse mental health. However, little is known about this association in the countries of the former Soviet Union (fSU). Aim: To address this deficit, this study examined the link between perceived discrimination and psychological distress in nine fSU countries. Methods: Data were analyzed from 18,000 adults aged ⩾18 years obtained during the Health in Times of Transition (HITT) survey undertaken in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine in 2010 and 2011. A single-item measure was used to assess discrimination. Psychological distress was measured with a 12-item scale. Logistic regression analysis and meta-analysis were used to examine associations. Results: After adjusting for all potential confounders, when using none/little discrimination as the reference category, moderate and strong discrimination were associated with significantly increased odds for psychological distress in the total population and in men and women separately with odds ratios ranging from 1.93 to 2.64. Meta-analysis based on country-wise estimates showed that the level of between-country heterogeneity was negligible. Conclusion: Perceived discrimination is associated with psychological distress in countries throughout the fSU. Quantitative and qualitative research is now warranted to determine its specific forms and impact on population health in individual fSU countries.
