“…A key limiting assumption in this research is that while it is true that some cultures and people tend to lean toward either individualism or collectivism , recent research shows that individualism and collectivism themselves are not dichotomousthey are independent dimensions. Thus, a person's score in one does not necessarily reflect his or her score in another (Triandis & Gelfand, 1998;Oyserman, 2006;Husted & Allen, 2008). Hence, a typical person will exhibit some degree of individualism and some degree of collectivism.…”

The global use of online communities has exploded to involve hundreds of millions of users. Despite the tremendous social impact and business opportunities afforded by these communities, little information systems (IS) research has addressed them -especially in a cross-cultural context. Our research proposes an online community self-disclosure model, tested in a crosscultural setting using data provided by French and British working professionals. Our model is based on social exchange theory (SET) and social penetration theory (SPT), as well as on cross-cultural theory related to individualism-collectivism. SET explains that individuals engage in relationships when the perceived costs associated with the relationship are less than the expected benefits. SPT extends SET to explain that individuals participate in self-disclosure to foster relationships -reciprocation is the primary benefit of self-disclosure, whereas risk is the foundational cost of self-disclosure. Our study established several important findings: positive social influence to use an online community increases online community self-disclosure; reciprocity increases self-disclosure; online community trust increases self-disclosure; and privacy risk beliefs decrease self-disclosure. Meanwhile, a tendency toward collectivism increases self-disclosure. We further found that French participants had higher scores on horizontal individualism than British participants. Several other findings and their implications for practice are also discussed.

“…Durkheim and similar theories of religion focus on the social impacts of religiosity, viewing religions as representing agreed upon norms of behaviors from a shared sense of morality that is gained from ritualistic practices and can affect social settings such as workplaces [25,26]. From this perspective, moral values are viewed as sets of individually internalized social values that guide decisions about right and wrong in any given situation [27][28][29]. Thus, moral values reflect an intersection between individual decision making and cultural value systems, as internalized societal guidelines for what is considered to be meaningful, valuable, and important to be and do.…”

Abstract:The study evaluates a pilot course designed to respond to findings from the National Study of Youth and Religion (NSYR) and similar findings reporting changes in U.S. life course development and religious participation through an intervention based on sociological theories of morality. The purpose of the study is to investigate the impacts of a business course in a public university designed to prepare emerging adults for culturally and religiously diverse workplaces. The intended outcomes are for students to better identify their personal moral values, while also gaining cultural awareness of the moral values in six different value systems: five major world religions and secular humanism. The study response rate was 97 percent (n = 109). Pre-and post-test survey data analyze changes in the reports of students enrolled in the course (primary group) compared to students in similar courses but without an emphasis on morality (controls). Qualitative data include survey short answer questions, personal mission statements, and student essays describing course impacts. Quantitative and qualitative results indicate reported increases in identification of personal moral values and cultural awareness of other moral values, providing initial evidence that the course helps prepare emerging adults for multi-faith workplaces.

“…Therefore, EC is either an individual or a collective action directed towards solving identified environmental problems. Individual values may be understood as a sense-making device that shapes behavior (Husted and Allen 2008). They affect how citizens perceive and interact with each other and how they solve environmental problems (De Groot and Steg 2008, Buenrostro et al 2014, Matei et al 2015.…”

The ethics of environmental protection is based on the moral responsibility of a man not to endanger his living environment because it is the only way for creating the conditions for a better life quality. Environmental consciousness (EC) is characterized by a high awareness about the environment, especially in urban areas with mining-metallurgical sources of pollution. Raising EC in such environments causes acceptance and ecological and social responsibility. A mining-metallurgical complex plant represents an important source of pollution of urban areas. In that sense, Bor is an interesting urban area having in mind that it represents one of the most important ore and metal production centers in South-East Europe. What defines the EC of Bor inhabitants is derived from the very town and its economy. The research encompasses concrete environmental problems of the mining town Bor and its surroundings. The components of the EC of people living in Bor were analyzed according to the awareness, knowledge and attitude method, having in mind the extent to which the environment has been polluted in this area. It has been concluded that the perception of people living in Bor about the state of the environment depends on numerous factors -first, whether the employee works for the RTB Bor Company or not.Palabras clave: conciencia ciudadana, producción de cobre, problemas ambientales, minería RTB, fundidora Bor RESUMEN La ética de la protección ambiental se basa en la responsabilidad moral de una persona de no poner en riesgo el ambiente que habita porque es la única manera de crear condiciones para una mejor calidad de vida. La conciencia ambiental (CA) se caracteriza por el cuidado del ambiente, especialmente en zonas urbanas donde existen fuentes minero-metalúrgicas de contaminación. Promover la CA en esos medios causa aceptación y fomenta la responsabilidad ecológica y social. Una planta minero-metalúrgica representa una importante fuente de contaminación en zonas urbanas. En este sentido, Bor es un área urbana interesante, tomando en cuenta que constituye uno de los centros de producción de minerales metálicos más importantes del sudeste de Europa. Lo que Rev. Int.
