- Micro-foundations of sustainability perception : what is the main individual driver of CSR Action?Publication . Kilinc, Bugra; Rajsingh, PeterSustainability and the responsibility of various actors within a society is emerging rapidly. In the academic literature on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), a corporation's individual level of CSR perception and action is still not a focus topic. However, comprehending this key driver is essential, considering that the individual decisions of CEOs, managers, and employees shape a corporation. Therefore, the main research question of this master thesis is to identify which individual driver has the highest impact on CSR perception and action. For this understanding, regression analysis and Oaxaca-Blinder-Decomposition models are used. Overall, the results of this master thesis indicate that gender plays the most crucial role in the difference between low and high levels of individual CSR perception and action - followed by the desire for group belonging and recognition, and morality.
- Influence of sociodemographic and social variables on the relationship between formal years of education and time spent on the internetPublication . Leite, Ângela Maria Teixeira; Azevedo, Ângela Sá; Rodrigues, AnabelaThis study aims to validate the impact of sociodemographic factors and differentiate the influence of social variables on the correlation between the number of years of formal education an individual has and the time they allocate to internet usage. To achieve this, we utilized a publicly available database, extracting relevant indicators for our investigation. Subsequently, we conducted analyses involving associations, regressions, and moderations among the variables under scrutiny. The results revealed statistically significant variations in daily internet usage time across different countries, residences, age groups, educational levels, and marital statuses. Factors such as living in an urban or suburban environment, being in the youth demographic, possessing a higher education, maintaining single status, having an extensive social network, holding a negative perception of health, lacking home internet access but having access at work and on the go, along with the facilitation of online communication and remote work, collectively explain the variance in daily internet usage time. The relationship between the number of years of education and the duration of internet usage is moderated by sociodemographic variables (gender, age, and marital status) as well as social variables (locations of internet usage and social contacts). These findings enable us to identify a user profile at a higher risk of developing problematic behavior in relation to internet usage, as indicated by the time invested.
