Indulgence and Long Term Orientation Influence Prosocial Behavior at National Level

Abstract: The relationships between several Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and prosocial behavior at national level have been investigated by some studies. Yet the roles of indulgence versus restraint (IVR) and long-term versus short-term orientation (LTO), two newly established cultural dimensions, have received insufficient interest. This study aimed to investigate whether the World Giving Index (WGI), a national level measure of prosocial behavior (including donating, volunteering, and helping a stranger) provided by… Show more

“…Blatant lies, coverups, distracting maneuvers, taking credit for following legal obligations, and the indiscriminate use (and abuse) of CSR disclosures and reports, among others, have become the daily bread of Colombian reality.

For instance, it has been evidenced that the public tends to get cynical once a greenwasher addresses its CSR performance within its VS, which generates a detriment in its image and legitimacy.…”

Therefore, the MA results suggest that societies categorized by greater uncertainty avoidance and indulgence invest less in their health.…”
