“…For example, cultural factors were found to have a strong influence on variance in burnout and wellbeing in a study of large groups of medical students across 12 countries (Molodynski et al, 2021). Furthermore, culture has been found to be a determinant of anxiety and depression, with discrepant clinical trial results (Khambaty & Parikh, 2017; Kirmayer, 2001; Malik, 2021). Likewise, cultural response bias was found to be a contributing factor in the difference in subjective wellbeing among immigrants in Australia (Lai et al, 2013).…”

During prolonged social isolation, media exposure is often intensified increases as individuals turn to the Internet, social media, television, and newspapers for information, communication, entertainment, and more. This exploratory study explores the correlations among media use, anxiety, and wellbeing in China during the COVID-19 pandemic. A survey questionnaire was designed to measure the following five constructs: media dependency, media attention, anxiety, wellbeing, and collectivism. A total of 722 respondents in China participated in the survey from November 2020 to December 2020. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data. Our findings indicate that respondents who report collectivist norms tend to experience higher levels of wellbeing (and lower levels of anxiety), regardless of their scores for media use, media attention, or media dependency. Conversely, those respondents who record low collectivism tend to have higher levels of anxiety (and lower wellbeing), even if they report lower media use, attention and dependency during the pandemic. Study results also found that anxiety mediates the relationship between media use and wellbeing. Our introduction of collectivism as a possible moderating variable represents a significant contribution to current academic debates and suggests the inclusion of cultural factors for future studies on media use and anxiety/wellbeing during public health crises.

“…The patterns of disclosure vary within countries and between countries during the internationalization process and its outcome. The internationalization of clinical trials has addressed some of the issues (Malik, 2020). Likewise, foreign clinical trials in China have captured some of these patterns (Malik & Yun, 2016).…”

Result disclosure of clinical trial posts a conflicting logic between private secrecy and public interest. Despite ethical and legal requirements for disclosing clinical trial results, clinical trials’ sponsors tend to withhold the results. We explored the location, timing, and rationale behind the withheld clinical trial results. Based on the entrepreneurial orientation (EO) perspective, we propose that organizational EO contingencies moderate the disclosure decision. We used the completed clinical trial projects in China by foreign and domestic sponsors. First, we found that a unit increase in the sponsor’s experience can increase the disclosure about 1.01 times. Second, we found that industrial enterprises disclose results about 3.7 times more than universities do. Third, we found that foreign clinical trial projects in China tend to disclose 3.9 times more than domestic projects. We link these findings to two types of audience. First, we inform the academic community on the theory and empirics regarding risk-taking behavior in the biopharmaceutical industry’s clinical trial activity. Second, we address the general audiences concerned about the ethical and socioeconomic wellbeing of the public.

“…Given that cultural distance is calculated from the difference between host and guest, we argue that the concept of cultural distance is not only limited to business research but also can be more widely applied to other research fields (e.g., Malik, 2021; Malik et al, 2021; Malik & Zhao, 2013). In this paper, we attempt to explain whether the discussion on cultural distance can be extended beyond a business setting to explaining Olympic medal performance.…”

The Impact of Cultural Distance on Performance at the Summer Olympic Games

et al. 2022

This article suggests that the cultural distance between participating and host countries can be a new determinant of medal performance at international sports competitions. Prior research has mainly focused on single-country variables, including population size, GDP, political system, and home advantage. This paper provides a unique perspective on the determinants of medals won at the Summer Olympic Games and argues that the gap between host and participant countries may explain the substantial variance of medal performance. Specifically, we find that countries participating in the Summer Olympic Games hosted in a culturally distant country show poor medal performance. These findings highlight the importance of a joint study between the dimensions of national culture and sports management.
