“…The relative factor importance of the item 'I actively participate in social activities' compared to 'Do you belong to any public organizations, associations, committees, societies, or collectives? ' may confirm [71] insights about the perceived social distance between government and citizens in Lithuania, which manifests itself through low public participation.…”

“…This insight may be of high value to the government or other decision makers when considering policies aimed at increased its citizens well-being [69] and achieving a welfare state status [70]. It should be mentioned that this insight is also of particular importance due to the fact that the Lithuanian society is characterised by a high degree of paternalism [71], and expects the state to take care of a number of factors that affect their quality of life, which are typically assigned to the citizen's personal responsibility. From the theoretical standpoint we enhance the notions of the education system and educational culture proposing to include various micro-economic factors associated with the quality of life of citizens when analysing the quality of the educational culture in the country.…”

“…Analysing the importance of public administration and citizenship, one can notice quite low scores of public participation in Lithuania. It is an important finding that can explain the relatively low trust in government [71], which, in turn, is reflected in the increasing mistrust among various social groups within the society [84]. This revealed issue also has applied and theoretical implications.…”

The present paper investigates the 'soft' determinants of social environmental sustainability of the country. A three-dimensional research approach, covering the education system and educational culture; socio-economic integration; and the legal system and the importance of public administration and citizenship, was utilized. A cross-sectional survey of 1,021 respondents and a structural equation modelling were selected as main research tools. Lithuania served as an empirical basis for the research. It was revealed that the most important factors in shaping the modernisation of the country through the lens of social environmental sustainability are the participation of citizens in social communities and social activities. Factors that need improvement are public participation and tolerance for the disabled.

“…A partial least squares modelling technique was selected as the main approach for processing the quantitative data. This is one of the few research instruments deriving reliable and robust results from smaller sample sizes (Hair et al, 2019; Morkūnas, 2022). The hypotheses that were tested using quantitative research are represented in Figure 1.…”

This article seeks to determine the real drivers of customer loyalty in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) market. The study uses beer consumers in Lithuania as an empirical base for the research. A combination of qualitative (experiment) and quantitative (cross-sectional study and partial least squares structural equation modelling) research techniques are applied. The results reveal that loyalty in the FMCG market is driven by purchase frequency, promotion, price and perceived quality via moderating variables such as brand trust and brand satisfaction. Moreover, they demonstrate that consumers mostly do not recognize their favourite product among similar products; therefore, taste properties or other physical attributes of some FMCG products do not significantly contribute to the formation of brand loyalty. JEL classification: M31, M39

“…Indeed, online influence operations are a significant concern due to low barriers to entry and scalability (Alizadeh et al, 2020 ). While the disinformation campaigns and perception of Russia's and its allies' propaganda have been extensively studied (Morkunas, 2022 ), disinformation in war is a vital part of the playbook for all sides, and some of Ukraine's official accounts have endorsed information that was later proved false (Thompson and Alba, 2022 ). In addition, misinformation can be spread unintentionally, such as when information from the battlefield is effectively shared in real-time before it can be checked and its sources verified.…”

In this exploratory study with a community sample (N = 115), we look at the perception of pro-Russia and pro-Ukraine misinformation, mimicking content shared by naive Facebook users, and the factors related to it among pro-Ukraine Latvians. Our results support the integrative model in the perception of misinformation—we found strong evidence of myside bias, as pro-Russia misinformation was judged to be significantly less accurate than pro-Ukraine misinformation. Analytical thinking, measured with the seven-item cognitive reflection test, was associated with lower levels of pro-Ukraine misinformation accuracy judgments and lower overall misinformation accuracy judgments; however, there was no correlation between analytical thinking and pro-Russian misinformation accuracy judgments. Pro-Ukrainian misinformation accuracy judgments were positively related to positive emotions elicited by misinformation, the level of support for Ukraine, and the participant's age. In addition, participants indicated a higher likelihood of engaging with misinformation if they came across it online, trusted the information, and if it elicited positive emotions. Thus, our findings emphasize the role of one's attitude, analytical thinking, and emotions in one's perception, evaluation, and engagement with congruent and incongruent misinformation.
