Personality and Affective Correlates of Openness to Experience from Big Five and HEXACO Personality Models: The Dual Nature of Big Five Openness
No full textOpenness to Experience is considered to be one of the broadest personality traits. Different operationalizations of Openness to Experience within and between personality models incorporate various features of this trait. Differences in Openness facets across inventories may lead to differences in relation to certain outcomes. Hence, the current study looked to explore the personality and affective correlates of Openness domains and facets from the Big Five and HEXACO model. The sample consisted of 540 participants who completed measures assessing Openness to Experience domains and facets from Big Five and HEXACO, schizotypy, Disintegration, need for cognition, subjective well-being, and mania. Results revealed that schizotypy and Disintegration had mostly non-significant correlations with Openness domains from both models. However, multiple facets of Openness had significant both positive and negative correlations with these constructs. In contrast to HEXACO, Openness from the Big Five model could be presented with two distinct subdomains. The Pure Openness subdomain is related to higher mania, while Pure Intellect is associated with lower schizotypy, higher well-being, and higher need for cognition. Our results suggest that measuring Openness at lower structural levels provides us with more nuanced patterns of relationships among constructs

Global pandemic and digital marketing: Trends and perspectives
Get PDFThe global pandemic of Covid-19 has caused issues and significant challenges in all spheres
of business activities. Digital marketing is no exception, which, although based on the application of
information technologies and thereby its functioning was not vitally jeopardized, has undergone
significant transformations. Although at the beginning of the pandemic, most advertisers significantly
reduced the funds intended for digital advertising and postponed the launch of marketing campaigns,
companies have managed to consolidate their budgets and organize their business activities in
accordance with the new circumstances. Due to the accelerated digitalization, there has been an
expansion of e-commerce and an increase in content created for digital channels due to the fact that
physical and social distancing measures have shifted all focus of communication and money
transactions to the digital environment. As a result of the exponential increase in time spent with digital
media (especially social media), global online content consumption has doubled in 2020. Accordingly,
the expansion of user generated content and an increase in the number of digital campaigns occured,
alongside with the change in the tone of marketing communication based on the need to express
empathy and solidarity. Taking into account that even before the pandemic, digital marketing was characterized by intense changes, the aim of this paper is to identify key trends in digital marketing that
have arisen due to the global pandemic. The paper analyzes the economic aspect, i.e. the impact of the
pandemic on the growth of digital marketing observed through the total spending on digital advertising
at the level of 28 European countries. Also, the aspect of adapting marketing communication to the new
phenomena in society, such as living and working at home and rising isolation due to social distancing
measures, was observed. The results of a research conducted in this paper contribute to the growing
body of literature in the field of digital marketing by providing a systematic overview of the changes
that have occurred, as well as development trends that are anticipated for the future period
Digitalne veštine građana Srbije
Get PDFMoj prvi susret sa računarom desio se 1989. godine i od tada se neprekidno srećem sa
naporom ljudi da savladaju savremenu informaciono-digitalnu tehnologiju. U tom periodu
sam dala doprinos povećanju znanja u ovoj oblasti kroz izvođenje vežbi na predmetu
Informacioni sistemi u bankarstvu na Ekonomskom fakultetu Univerziteta u Beogradu, a
kasnije i kao jedan od osnivača Škole računarstva, na istom fakultetu, ali i kroz rad
sertifikovanog ispitivača u ECDL sistemu. Dolaskom na Institut ekonomskih nauka u
Beogradu nastavila sam da proučavam uticaj savremenih tehnologija na privredu i društvo.
Monografija „Digitalne veštine građana Srbije“ je dominantno nastala kao rezultat
internog projekta Instituta ekonomskih nauka DIPSI - „Merenje nivoa digitalne pismenosti
kontingenta radne snage u Srbiji i analiza implikacija na tržišta rada“ koji je realizovan 2018.
godine i dodatnog istraživanja koje sam sprovodila nakon toga. Ovom prilikom želim da se
zahvalim koleginicama koje su dale doprinos u realizaciji projekta DIPSI, dr Dejani Pavlović
i ma Jeleni Banović, kao i direktoru dr Jovanu Zuboviću, koji je prepoznao temu kao vrednu
dublje analize. Takođe bih se zahvalila kolegama iz Republičkog zavoda za statistiku Srbije,
a pre svega kolegi Vladimiru Šutiću, koji podržavaju naš rad i obezbeđuju nam ažurne
mikro-podatke. Zahvalnost dugujem i dr Aleksandru Zdravkoviću koji me preko petnaest
godina podržava svojim znanjem i beskompromisnom kritikom, zbog čega uvek imam
mogućnost da vidim prostor za napredak. Zahvaljujem se i recenzentima, dr Vladimiru
Simoviću, prof. dr Bojanu Zečeviću i dr Renati Pindžo na korisnim sugestijama, kao i mojoj
dragoj dr Mariji Mosurović koja je uočila nedostatke promakle drugima.
Nadam se da će ova monografija biti od koristi svima koji imaju želju i potrebu da se
upoznaju sa fenomenom digitalnih veština, načinima njihovog merenja i napretkom
srpskog društva u ovoj, veoma važnoj oblasti. Lično se nadam i da će građani Srbije uvideti
šanse koje se otvaraju onima koji poseduju napredne digitalne veštine, kao i da će
donosioci javnih politika pronaći mehanizme da podrže građane u njihovom naporu
Does the Increase in the Number of Registered Patents Affect Economic Growth? Evidence from Romania and Bulgaria
Get PDFThe goal of this paper is to determine whether the increase in the number of registered patents per million inhabitants, as a measure of market verification of the results of R&D activities, affects economic growth and the increase in the country's innovation index. The empirical research covered two countries - Romania and Bulgaria. Given that the main task of the research was to accurately measure the investigated phenomena and discover the connection between them, the analysis was based on a quantitative research design. The analysis used secondary data from the international databases of the World Bank and World Intellectual Property Organization, covering the period from 2008 to 2018. The results of the empirical research showed that no correlations were found, which means that in the cases of Romania and Bulgaria, there is no dependence between the increase in the number of registered patents per million inhabitants and the growth of the innovation index and GDP per capita
Strategic management of Scientific Research Organisations (SROs) as a tool for success - evidence from Serbia
Get PDFThe influences of today’s complex
environment, as well as knowledge economy
development, cause rapid changes in the management
patterns in Scientific Research Organizations (SROs).
The strategic management of SROs becomes the main
tool for achieving organizational success. Research
and development activities that are carried out in
SROs are mostly project-oriented, so a definition of
appropriate programs and projects is crucial for
strategy implementation. In the last century, in Serbia,
like in most post-communist countries, research and
development activities were not triggered by market
needs, which is a new challenge for the SROs
management. In the presented research, the
employees in SROs identified the need for introducing
a strategic approach to project management
Empowering strategic priority areas of cultural policy: empirical findings on cultural participation processes in Serbia
Get PDFBackground: The background of this research encompasses contemporary cultural policy issues and their factors of influence, with a special focus on cultural participation processes. The sphere of culture provides the fundamental base for reading and changing the paradigmatic pathst hrough the contents and acts of formal and informal stakeholders. Culture is deeply interlinked with other departments of the entire economy by connections with feedback loops. The impacts of culture on the socio-economic and natural environment, as the"fourth pillar" of sustainable development, are recognized on the international level by theory, expert groups, and practice. Purpose:The purposeof this paper is to bring about a deeper understanding of participatory processes and their importance for strategic priority areas of cultural policy development.Study design/methodology/approach:Our study design included institutional analysis, starting from the regulatory framework that reflects cultural policy and its strategic goals, by involving previous relevant theoretical research including the ICET model.Another objective of the paper is to answera range of questions.What are participation processes' main characteristics and challenges in culture and cultural policy development?Is there a relationship between these challenges? How to achieve desirable cultural and institutional integrative transformations in order to accomplish the strategic priority areas of cultural policy?Webring the conclusions based on theoretic and empirical overview of new empirical research findings based on the survey conducted in 2022 for the need of EPICA research project Findings/conclusions:The findingsofthis researchleadus to recognition, conceptualization and understanding ofthe existing participatory processes in culture, towards inspiring the future modelling of more integrative strategic and systemic solutions to reflect desirable and harmonized development.Limitations/future research: The limitations of research reflect future endeavourto contribute to reforming the field of culture (by formal and informal means) through more robust horizontal integration with other departments, to achieve sustainable and coherent effects through linking strategies, new forms of participation, decentralization, arm's length principle, and degrowth policy
Understanding “evil”: A closer look at the Dark Tetrad’s relations with HEXACO and Big Five
Get PDFWe aimed to explore to what extent the Dark Tetrad traits are
represented by basic personality traits framed by HEXACO (Study 1;
150 participants, Mage = 32.15, SDage = 8.41) and the Big Five model
(Study 2; 215 participants, Mage = 35.59, SDage = 13.65). Alongside
correlation analysis, we employed a quasi-canonical analysis of
covariance. The results showed that the core features of the Dark
Tetrad are mapped on the negative poles of Agreeableness and
Honesty-Humility from the HEXACO and Agreeableness from the Big
Five. Despite the somewhat distinctive nature of Narcissism compared
to other dark traits, the common features of the Dark Tetrad are
partially represented in both models, but to a larger extent in
HEXACO. In conclusion, we recommend using the HEXACO model as
a proxy for assessing the core features of the Dark Tetrad in large-scale
studies where measuring both basic and dark personality traits is not
feasible
Vitamin Sea against Corruption: Informality and Corruption through the Interdisciplinary Lens
No full textThis conference report combines the latest theoretical developments within the areas of corruption and informality research in Southeastern Europe from the eighteenth until the twenty-first century with a presentation of the ongoing research conducted by the Regensburg Corruption Cluster and the inputs of some of the leading experts within these fields. The authors outline a practical interdisciplinary framework for developing a historical anthropology of corrup-tion, by integrating knowledge and methods from various disciplines, such as history, linguistics and business studies. In doing so, they show how the ideo-logical–normativistic approaches of the so-called “anticorruption consensus” can be overcome: by lowering the analytical scale to the level of informal practices and following their evolution through historical circumstances. This report also shows the persistent difficulties in establishing “ethical universalism” in Southeastern Europe with examples ranging from eighteenth-century Phanariot rule in Walla-chia to twenty-first-century corruption scandals in Serbia and Croatia
