Gender variations in the effects of number of organizational memberships, number of social networking sites, and grade-point average on global social responsibility in Filipino university students

Abstract

The study seeks to estimate gender variations in the direct effects of (a) number of organizational memberships, (b) number of social networking sites (SNS), and (c) grade-point average (GPA) on global social responsibility (GSR); and in the indirect effects of (a) and of (b) through (c) on GSR. Cross-sectional survey data were drawn from questionnaire interviews involving 3,173 Filipino university students. Based on a path model, the three factors were tested to determine their inter-relationships and their relationships with GSR. The direct and total effects of the exogenous factors on the dependent variable are statistically significantly robust. The indirect effects of organizational memberships on GSR through GPA are also statistically significant, but the indirect effects of SNS on GSR through GPA are marginal. Men and women significantly differ only in terms of the total effects of their organizational memberships on GSR. The lack of broad gender variations in the effects of SNS, organizational memberships and GPA on GSR may be linked to the relatively homogenous characteristics and experiences of the university students interviewed. There is a need for more path models to better understand the predictors of GSR in local students.

The Importance of Well-Being on Resiliency of Filipino Adults During the COVID-19 Enhanced Community Quarantine: A Necessary Condition Analysis

“…First, previous studies ( Smith, 2008 ; Yetter and Capaccioli, 2010 ; Slauson-Blevins and Johnson, 2016 ) have reported that young adult females take part in online surveys at a higher frequency compared with their male counterparts. There are more female Facebook users than males ( Lee et al, 2016 ), which is significant because we invited potential participants through Facebook. Lastly, the Philippines has a young population.…”

Konaklama İşletmelerinde Çevresel Tutku Algısının Küresel Sosyal Sorumluluğa Etkisi (The Effect of Perception of Environmental Passion on Global Social Responsibility in Accommodation Businesses)

“…Çevresel sorunlara bağlı olarak, literatürde güncel konular olan küresel sosyal sorumluluk ve çevresel tutku kavramlarıyla ilgili çalışmalar bulunsa da iki kavram arasındaki ilişki ve etkinin ne yönde olduğunu ele alan herhangi bir çalışmaya rastlanılamamıştır. Literatürde bulunan çalışmalar incelendiğinde küresel sosyal sorumluluğun genellikle eğitim alanında (Ewest, 2015;Faiz & Karasu-Avcı, 2018;Lee, Baring & Maria, 2016;Seçgin & Yazıcı, 2018;Ünal & Sarı, 2017) çalışılan bir konu olduğu görülürken, turizm alanında kavramla ilgili çalışmaya rastlanılamamıştır. Çevresel tutku (Bashir vd., 2021;Luu, 2020;Luu, 2023)…”
