Four dimensions of regional attitudes are considered, i.e., restrictive attitudes towards specific groups, restrictive attitudes towards acquired criteria, threat, and restrictive attitudes towards ascribed criteria. We produce maps of these, as well as validation outputs, demonstrating that our estimates are reliable, hence, have a strong potential in informing policy makers. We show that, although there is a large between-country variation of these attitudes, there are also large spatial differences between-region in some countries. Overall, Swedish public attitudes tend to be quite homogeneous across regions, and located towards the positive side, whereas Eastern European countries tend to show negative attitudes across all the dimensions apart from the acquired criteria. However, in these countries, we can see larger spatial differences across regions, especially in the ascribed criteria and attitudes towards specific groups indicator. In general, the threat dimension does not show a large between-region variability, compared to the other three dimensions.","PeriodicalId":21943,"journal":{"name":"Social Indicators Research","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141568059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, with many measurement tools and frameworks being replicated in contexts distinct from where they were developed, it raises the question as to whether we are measuring the right things. This study draws on data collected through a systematic review of participatory wellbeing frameworks to better understand how wellbeing conceptualisations differ based on country context throughout the world. This analysis is one of the first of its kind, enabling a deeper and more comprehensive insight into cross-cultural understandings of wellbeing. The findings indicate that while there is some degree of universality in how wellbeing is conceptualised in different country contexts, cross-cultural variation is also evident. These findings have important implications for wellbeing measurement throughout the world, indicating that researchers, practitioners, and policymakers should exercise some caution when utilising wellbeing measurement tools and frameworks that were developed in contexts distinct from the population of interest. Furthermore, this study highlights the value of participatory approaches in better understanding these nuanced conceptualisations of wellbeing within different population groups throughout the world. Having greater awareness of cross-cultural differences in wellbeing conceptualisations will help ensure that we are more closely measuring what matters to people.","PeriodicalId":21943,"journal":{"name":"Social Indicators Research","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141568150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, we knew little about the relationship between flexible working hours and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). To clarify the question, we constructed a moderated-mediation model to examine the mechanism of commuting control. A total of 284 full-time employees took part in this study. We found that: (1) Employees with flexible working hours had higher levels of commuting control; (2) Then, higher levels of commuting control predicted higher levels of OCB; (3) Commuting control fully meditated the association between flexible working hours and employees’ OCB; (4) Commuting control and road unimpeded interaction to influence OCB. That is, the relationship between commuting control and OCB was stronger when roads were clear. These results not only provide a new explanation of the impact of flexible working hours on commuting control and OCB, but also help to broaden commuting research. These findings additionally have implications for the government and organizations.","PeriodicalId":21943,"journal":{"name":"Social Indicators Research","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141568151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sommev’s hybrid weighting approach fills an important gap within a highly controversial area of the composite indicators’ literature, which criticizes the statistical assignment of weights disconnected from theory and the errors and judgmental biases inherent in the expert opinion-based weighting approach. These innovations contribute to a more coherent and consistent operationalization of the theoretical framework of multidimensional phenomena, reconciling the non-compensability between sub-indicators and the maximum retention of original information through statistically defined weights, in which the expert’s opinion is considered, but does not determine the sub-indicator’s weights. Twenty simulations were carried out to analyze the application of the method in representing social exclusion in a Brazilian city. Composite indicators constructed by Sommev retain twice as much information as those constructed with equal weights or weights defined by experts. This increased informational capacity favors a more comprehensive representation of the multidimensional phenomenon, having a high potential for application in solving problems of a multidimensional nature in the social, economic, and environmental areas.","PeriodicalId":21943,"journal":{"name":"Social Indicators Research","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141550801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The factors underpinning social vulnerability—namely, economic status, age, disability, language, ethnicity, and location—are well understood from a theoretical perspective, and existing indices are generally constructed based on specific data chosen to represent these factors. Further, the indices’ construction methods generally assume structured, linear relationships among input variables and may not capture subtle nonlinear patterns more reflective of the multidimensionality of social vulnerability. We compare a procedure which considers an increased number of variables to describe the SoVI factors with existing approaches that choose specific variables based on consensus within the social science community. Reproducing the analysis across eight countries, as well as leveraging deep learning methods which in recent years have been found to be powerful for finding structure in data, demonstrate that wealth-related factors consistently explain the largest variance and are the most common element in social vulnerability.","PeriodicalId":21943,"journal":{"name":"Social Indicators Research","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141550800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study takes public services fragility as a proxy for public health services. In contrast, E-government development as a DG globalization index (GI) has been taken as a proxy of regional integration, and government expenditures (GE) as a fiscal state capacity. The study employed a two-step system generalized method of moments estimation for the sample of 45-panel Asian economies from 2006-to-2022. The results reveal that DG substantially impacted and improved the PHS in Asian economies in the past decade. Moreover, regional integration added fuel to this progression and substantially influenced the PHS. However, GE adversely affects the PHS due to lousy governance and leakage of target spending. Furthermore, the novel DG integration with GE and GI promoted PHS and reduced health fragility through better resource utilization and technology deployment. It also reveals that DG helps in reducing the loopholes of GE and makes the resource implementation transparent and effective, which impacts the PHS. It concludes that these interactions with public policies play a prominent role in comprehensive coverage and healthcare accessibility in Asia through technology deployment with prudent administration strategies. It’s a novel study that integrates digitalization with regional integration and government expenditures from an Asian perspective by considering PHS, which made this study helpful for policy drafting during the COVID-19 pandemic and proposed a better framework to deal with future calamities.","PeriodicalId":21943,"journal":{"name":"Social Indicators Research","volume":"215 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141529110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
