“…Bai et al (2019) [ 28 ] found that both trust in acquaintances and trust in strangers had a significant positive correlation with subjective well-being. Guo et al (2022) [ 29 ] found that all types of trust positively predicted well-being at the individual level, and the effects of trust on well-being were enhanced by individualism. Therefore, new-generation migrant workers’ interpersonal trust mediated the effect of job mobility on their subjective well-being.…”

New-generation migrant workers refers to those born in 1980 or thereafter, who become the majority of rural–urban migrants. New-generation migrant workers in Chinese cities are struggling with a lack of urban resources, which may lead to low well-being. On the basis of a questionnaire survey of 203 new-generation migrant workers, we used a multiple regression analysis to study new-generation migrant workers’ well-being and the mechanism underlying the effect of job mobility on well-being. The job mobility scale, interpersonal trust scale, and Affect Balance Scale were used. Results showed that job mobility was positively correlated with new-generation migrant workers’ subjective well-being and interpersonal trust, and interpersonal trust was positively correlated with subjective well-being. Interpersonal trust mediated the effect of job mobility on subjective well-being. In conclusion, job mobility can bring some benefits to new-generation migrant workers, that is, job mobility may increase their subjective well-being by increasing their interpersonal trust.

“…Faktoru analīzes rezultātā pilnībā tiek aptverts piesaistošais SK veids. Uztvertais sociālais atbalsts spēcīgi korelē ar uzticēšanos (Realo, Allik, & Greenfield, 2008;Guo, Zheng, Shen, Huang, & Ma, 2022), ko apstiprina arī pētījums, kurā uztvertais sociālais atbalsts un uzticēšanās tuviniekiem izveido vienu faktoru. Savukārt uztvertais sociālais atbalsts un uzticēšanās rada piederības izjūtu (Alizadeh, Khanahmadi, Vedadhir, & Barjasteh, 2017) un vēlmi kontaktēties jeb sociālas attiecības (Levasseur et al, 2010;Levasseur et al, 2017).…”

This article describes the development and initial validation of the second version of the Multidimensional Social Capital Scale (MSCS V2). The scale is based on the concept of Social Capital (SC) developed based on the results of the Rapid Review. The developed theoretical concept covers such types of SC as bonding, bridging, and linking, and there are two dimensions in each of these types: cognitive and structural. The initial version of the Multidimensional Social Capital Scale (MSCS) covered only the cognitive dimension of all three types of SC. This study aimed to develop an improved second expanded version of the MSCS V2 and to evaluate its psychometric properties. Data were collected online in the period from 11th June to 3rd October 2021, using a cross-sectional study design and a convenience sample strategy (N=353, 87% women and 13% men), aged between 18 and 80 years, M=41.8 years). As a result, the 25-item version of the MSCS V2 was developed. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed a 6-factor structure that encompasses the following types and elements of cognitive dimension: two types of bonding (Perceived social support or family members and close friends and Sense of belonging), two types of bridging (Perceived social support for acquaintances and General social trust), one type of linking (Institutional trust) and for Structural dimension: one type of bonding (Social participation). This 6-factor structure was approved using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Overall, the items are internally consistent on all scales (α = .73 - .90). Findings from this study showed significant evidence for the reliability and validity of the MSCS V2 and it would be advisable to repeat the study in a homogeneous sample, including full socio-demographic data.

“…They used well-standardised quantiles, e.g., normalities, to look for alternative energy sources to meet the growing demand for energy. Ma et al (2022) applied quantile regression to panel data for exports and the digital economy, and identified a negative impact on carbon emissions. Ye et al (2022) proposed a green credit method to enrich renewable energy, using an error correction model to achieve the results of their study.…”

“…Green transformation and sustainable economic, social, and environmental development are often discussed in contemporary studies and research, capturing the attention of modern society (Guo et al 2022;Pei et al 2022). Issues such as micro-mobility (Dozza et al 2022), self-dependence (Vitunskien ė et al 2022), car and flight shame (Lai et al 2022), waste sorting and management, and zero emissions have been investigated from the perspective of sustainability (Köhler et al 2022).…”

This research aims to ensure methodological conformance and to test the validity of its empirical application. To do so, the study analysed differentiation of the development patterns of four time-series variables. The relationships between greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, employment, inflation, and gross domestic product (GDP) at constant prices were analysed, comparing the European Union (EU-27) and two European Free Trade Association countries. The study period covers twelve years of monthly and quarterly data from the beginning of 2010 to mid-2021, where the highest frequency of data was 138 observations. The methodology used included unit root testing and the vector autoregressive model (VAR). The study’s main results show that GDP at constant prices significantly affected GHG emissions in the EU-27 countries. Meanwhile, the lag between inflation and employment did not have a considerable impact. This finding shows that inflation was not a stable variable and had a strong autocorrelation. Variable employment did not follow a normal distribution. It was necessary for this research to adopt a suitable model for the technical procedure.
