“…Such results of engagement were found in previous researches (Amir et. al., 2014;Havik & Westergård, 2020;Lam et al, 2012;Lamote et al, 2013;Lietaert et al, 2015;Van de gaer et al, 2006) and are in accord with earlier results obtained in individualistic cultures (Lam et al, 2016) Croatia is a part of (Rajh et al, 2016). As in previous research, these results can possibly be explained with the student's personality and the common assumption that girls are more devoted and industrious in school work.…”

Student self-efficacy is defined as an individual's belief of being able to perform certain actions necessary for achieving a specific goal, i.e. the belief one is capable of organising and performing actions in a way needed to attain the planned types of effect. Engagement is defined as a measure of student involvement, connectedness and devotion to academic and social school activities. Three-component engagement model includes cognitive, emotional and behavioral engagement. The basic presumption in the research of student self-efficiency and engagement is that, for the students to achieve success in schooling, not only regular class attendance is sufficient but also students' work engagement and belief they are capable of performing the required tasks. The main goal of this research was to examine the differences between the students in their self-efficiency and engagement regarding gender and age. The research included 659 students from the 4 th to the 8 th grade of a primary school in Zagreb in Croatia. The sample encompassed 330 girls and 329 boys of the average age of 11.37 years (SD = 1.73). The implementation of the one-way analysis of variance found statistically significant differences in the perceptions of self-efficacy and engagement, wherein younger students (4 th and 5 th grade) assessed all the examined variables as higher. In examining gender differences, statistically significant differences were found in the engagement dimensions, wherein girls show higher cognitive, behavioral and emotional engagement, but are not different in self-efficacy.

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the changes that Albanian cultural dimensions’ scores have undergone over time. Hofstede’s Value Survey Module 2013 (VSM 2013) has been applied to examine the six dimensions of culture; power distance, individualism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, long term orientation and indulgence. The survey data (N=387) was collected in the two largest private hospitals in Albania. Globalization, technological developments, economical flourishing and crisis, war and peace, influence the shifting of national cultural dimensions’ scores toward negative or positive values [1]. In this study we aim to show the shifting of Albanian culture value scores in time, and compare the results with the ones predicted by the researchers of the field. The results obtained show a negative shift on Albanian culture dimension score of power distance, individualism, long term orientation and indulgence, and a positive shift on masculinity and uncertainty avoidance values. Implications for researchers of the field are discussed in the paper.

“…As mentioned above, culture plays a significant role in influencing purchases, but there are other variables that can moderate this influence. Some studies used Gender (Nieves-Rodriguez et al, 2017), other used education (Rajh et al, 2016) as moderators influencing consumer purchase behavior. However, none of these studies are used to compare the difference in consumer purchasing behavior between Europe and Asia.…”

“…In studying culture, Hofstede defined four core culture dimensions: power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism-collectivism & masculinity-femininity (Jahandideh, Golmohammadi, Meng, O'Gorman, & Taheri, 2014). In Table 1 these dimensions are presented taking in mind research results presented by Mooij and Hofstede 2011; Jahandideh et al, 2014;Rajh et al, 2016;Zhang, Weng, and Zhu, 2018;Xie and Pai, 2018;Kübler, Pauwels, Yildirim, and Fandrich, 2018;Su, Min, Chen, and Swanger, 2018;Lu et al, 2018. Four Hosted's dimensions are investigated by scholars and main points, which must be considered are:  Power distance refers to the degree to which people in society accepts that power is distributed unequally (Rajh et al, 2016). Countries with high power distance show respect for the authority which may affect their decision making.…”
