“…The largest country group is that of the Former Socialist countries, consisting of 11 countries: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. This grouping is similar to the country classifications described by the literature (Barkley and Eggertsson, 2017;Cimpeanu et al, 2013;Tabellini, 2010). Our sample merged the Anglo and Germanic countries with the group of the 'Other Western countries' .…”

“…Regarding similarities, German and English culture lends itself to a progressive economic development, while Portuguese and Spanish culture does not (Tabellini, 2010). Nordic countries, including Sweden and Finland, have developed cultures based on a similar economic history and religion, and all share a similarly low value in Hofstede's masculinity/femininity category, while the less affluent Eastern European countries possess high masculinity index values (Barkley and Eggertsson, 2017).…”

Environmental Awareness in Different European Cultures

The 28 countries of the European Union represent a rather heterogeneous group regarding their geography, history, and national cultures. Their response to the current global challenges depends on their way of viewing the world, and that is largely influenced by their national values and beliefs. The research compares the environmental awareness in distinct country groups and identifies the components of national culture, which, by their different approaches to the environmental sustainability, influence the most. The time span of the analysis is seven years from 2012 to 2018. National culture is defined by Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, and the environmental awareness data were collected from the Eurobarometer surveys of the EU. The main findings show that the environmental awareness in the EU increases with time and is higher in indulgent, more individualistic, and more long-term oriented countries, while the level of masculinity and uncertainty avoidance or power distance did not matter. The Scandinavian countries are remarkably environmentally aware, while the other groups of countries do not differ in this respect.

“…Long-versus Short-Term Orientation (LTO) refers to the time horizon focused on by one society. While long-term oriented people tend to focus on the future and thrift, short-term oriented individuals value the past, present and traditions (Barkley & Eggertsson, 2017). Indulgence versus Restraint (IVR) suggests the ability of a population to deal with the consequences of an action.…”

Managing multicultural teams is a contemporary challenge either in public, private, international, or domestic firms. Leading or working with individuals with diverse cultural backgrounds can be a risk, but an opportunity, though, especially in Brazil, a gigantic multicultural country whose people's diversity is often treated carelessly. This project investigated whether the cultural differences between two generations of Police Officers in one of Brazil's State Police Organization are relevant and deserve special measures of Human Resources Management. Through quantitative methods, an experiment with 349 participants was performed using the Value Survey Module (VSM), a cultural dimensions framework devised by Hofstede. Two groups have been compared, namely, recruits undertaking the basic police course and sworn officers with ten years of police service. Relevant cultural differences were identified in four cultural dimensions, namely, Power Distance, Individualism vs. Collectivism, Uncertainty Avoidance, and Long-term Orientation indexes. Based on this, urgent Human Resources-related measures are necessary to integrate culturally diverse team members and foster cooperation instead of competition. Moreover, this study offers recommendations to improve the professionalism of the Law Enforcement Agency and its community-oriented service.

The present paper analyses the relationship between farm incomes and farm involvement in agritourism activities in four countries of the Visegrád Group (V4) in comparison to the European Union. The analysis is based on the Farm Accountancy Data Network database of the EU for 2004–2020, and applies descriptive statistics, correlations, and multivariate panel regression analysis. Results show that the larger share of agritourism within gross farm income is associated with lower family farm income per family worker, and this is particularly true for larger farms. This means that in area of the Visegrád Group agritourism is more important in farms with worse profitability and more in need of additional incomes while in the rest of the EU countries an opposite tendency prevails. The paper empirically assesses a rather long time period, focusing on the four countries of the Visegrád Group compared to the rest of the EU member states and it measures the impact of agritourism revenues on various measures of farm income. Agritourism profitability has been assessed by hundreds of papers but the present paper compares agritourism profitability to that of traditional agriculture, and assesses a much longer time period than earlier research.
