Although the relationship we have is functional and seems sufficient, we tend to ask ourselves: who are the data…

Changes in crime-related factors and subjective well-being over time and their mutual relationship

Changes in crime-related factors and subjective well-being over time and their mutual relationship

Recently, there has been growing interest in crime-related determinants of subjective well-being (SWB). The existing findings are, however, rather contradictory. The relationship between the aforementioned phenomena is most often examined using cross-sectional data, although it seems their development over time might be interlinked. Moreover, only limited attempts have been made to address the multidimensionality of SWB. Using a pseudo-panel analysis of eight bi-annual waves of the European Social Survey (ESS)…

Hidden religious aspects of job satisfaction and work attitudes: The differences between Eastern and Western Europe

Hidden religious aspects of job satisfaction and work attitudes: The differences between Eastern and Western Europe

This paper examines the links between religion and job satisfaction. Its concern is to compare Eastern and Western Europe. We use the 2015 International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) data covering both non-religious individuals and individuals affiliated to a religious denomination. While the Western European countries generally report significantly higher levels of job satisfaction compared to their Eastern counterparts, we test the hypothesis that religion also shows differentiated effects on job satisfacti…

Genderové nerovnosti ve společném podnikání partnerů v České a Slovenské republice

Genderové nerovnosti ve společném podnikání partnerů v České a Slovenské republice

Research on women’s entrepreneurship often fails to uncover the gendered way in which women’s roles and responsibilities are portrayed and it neglects the connections between ideas about what roles women play in business and in the family and the social context in which these ideas are embedded. This article focuses on the gender inequalities that are reflected in the construction of men’s and women’s roles and responsibilities in copreneurships (romantic couples in business together) and how those con…
