Ph.D. graduates in the humanities and social sciences: what do they do?

In recent years, more and more doctorate holders in Belgium and other OECD countries are employed in jobs outside academia. Particularly little is known about careers of graduates in the social sciences and the humanities (SSH). Therefore, this paper addresses several aspects of their careers. Based on the Belgian CDH data 2010, 919 doctorate holders were surveyed. We found that academia is the largest sector of employment for doctorate holders in humanities and social sciences but there is variation among cohorts and various subdisciplines within SSH. Only for a minority of the doctorate holders working outside higher education, a doctoral degree is required. Compared to other fields of study, doctorate holders in SSH experienced a difficult transition from academia to other sectors of employment. Despite these findings, Ph.D. holders in SSH feel their research experience is an asset for their current job. Future research needs to explore how the training of Ph.D. students can facilitate the transition to the non-academic labour market

Prediction of Hope Based on Spirituality Components with Healthy Intermediaries in Students

The purpose of this study was to provide a model based on the relationship between hope and spirituality based on general health mediation. Other research has mainly considered general health as a dependent variable. However, the present study seeks to evaluate general health as a mediator variable. This will promote theoretical literature in this area. The statistical population of the studying students was Allameh Tabatabaei University, from which 300 samples were selected by cluster sampling. Instruments included: Spirituality Questionnaire, Life Expectancy Questionnaire, and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). The research was a correlational study in which the hope of dependent variable, independent spirituality, general health, mediating variable and data were analyzed by path analysis. The results showed that spirituality and general health are a predictor of hope, and general health has a mediator role for prediction of hopefulness. General health was also predicted by spirituality. Keywords: Spirituality, Hope and General Health. DOI: 10.7176/RHSS/9-12-11 Publication date:June 30th 201

Ethical differentiation and market behavior: An experimental approach

Does ethical differentiation of products affect market behavior? We examined this issue in triopolistic experimental markets where producers set prices. One producer’s costs were higher than the others. In two treatments, the additional costs were attributed to compliance with ethical guidelines. In the third, no justification was provided. Many participants playing the role of consumers reduced their experimental gains by purchasing the ethically differentiated product at a higher price – whether or not they knew the amount of extra cost. Individual differences were important (students of business/economics paid smaller premia than others). Finally, we speculate about the observed “demand function” for ethics and emphasize the use of experimental methodology to complement empirical studies designed to assess the potential market for ethically differentiated products.Fair trade, ethical premia, price competition, contextual effects, Leex
