სახელმწიფო ინსტიტუტების მიმართ ნდობის კრიზისის სოციოკულტურული მიდგომების ანალიზი

The crisis of public trust in state institutions is an important and urgent issue. The article aims to study the causes of the crisis of public trust in state institutions in modern reality. Due to the problematic nature of the problem, the article aims to discuss and analyze sociocultural approaches and theories of modern authors in social scientists on the mentioned research issue. The research is mainly based on the theoretical analysis of the problem. Accordingly, a theoretical study of the problem will be carried out and the relevant theories of the research question (rule of law, democratization, transition, the law-making process, etc.) and literature describing various experiences in the world will be analyzed. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of active citizenry/civic engagement in the formation of democratic institutions. The analysis will mainly rely on a descriptive procedure; however, an interpretive approach will be used.სახელმწიფო ინსტიტუტების მიმართ საზოგადოების ნდობის კრიზისი მნიშვნელოვანი და აქტუალური საკითხია. სტატიის მიზანია, თანამედროვე რეალობაში სახელმწიფო ინსტიტუტების მიმართ საზოგადოების ნდობის კრიზისის გამომწვევი მიზეზები შეისწავლოს. საკითხის პრობლემურობიდან  გამომდინარე, სტატია მიზნად ისახავს აღნიშნულ კვლევის საკითხზე სოციალურ მეცნიერებებში სოციოკულტურული მიდგომების  და თანამედროვე ავტორების თეორიების განხილვასა და ანალიზს. კვლევა ძირითადად ეყრდნობა საკითხის თეორიულ ანალიზს. შესაბამისად, განხორციელდება საკითხის თეორიული შესწავლა და გაანალიზებული იქნება კვლევის საკითხის რელევანტური ლიტერატურა, რომელიც განიხილავს მსოფლიოში არსებულ გამოცდილებას (სამართლებრივი სახელმწიფო, დემოკრატიზაციის, ტრანზიციის, კანონშემოქმედებითი პროცესის და ა.შ.). ყურადღება გამახვილდება აქტიური მოქალაქის/სამოქალაქო ჩართულობის მნიშვნელობაზე დემოკრატიული ინსტიტუტების ფორმირებაში. ანალიზი დაეყრდნობა აღწერის პროცედურას, თუმცა, ასევე გამოყენებული იქნება ინტერპრეტაციული მიდგომა

A study of Doukhobor ethnic group lifestyle and traditional clothing in Georgia

Examining ethno-demographic processes in the South Caucasus region through a historical lens presents a formidable challenge. This challenge arises from the persistent fluctuations in the region's national composition brought about by shifting political, economic, and social circumstances. Moreover, the scarcity of available sources compounds the complexity of this endeavour, rendering it particularly intricate

Family first: Evidence of consistency and variation in the value of family versus personal happiness across 49 different cultures

People care about their own well-being, but also about the well-being of their families. It is currently however unknown how much people tend to value their own and their family’s well-being. A recent study documented that people value family happiness over personal happiness across four cultures. In this study, we sought to replicate this finding across a larger sample size (N = 12,819) and a greater number of countries (N = 49), We found that the strength of the idealization of family over personal happiness preference was small (average Cohen’s ds = .20 with country levels varying from -.02 to almost .48), but ubiquitous, i.e., direction presented in 98% of the studied countries, 73-75% with statistical significance and .40 and .30). Importantly, we did not find strong support for traditional theories in cross-cultural psychology that associate collectivism with greater prioritization of the family versus the individual; country level individualism-collectivism was not associated with variation in the idealization of family versus individual happiness. Our findings indicate that no matter how much various populists abuse the argument of “protecting family life” to disrupt emancipation, family happiness seems to be a pan-culturally phenomenon. Family well-being is a key ingredient of social fabric across the world, and should be acknowledged by psychology and well-being researchers, and by progressive movements too

Personal life satisfaction as a measure of societal happiness is an individualistic presumption: Evidence from fifty countries

Numerous studies document that societal happiness is correlated with individualism, but the nature of this phenomenon remains understudied. In the current paper, we address this gap and test the reasoning that individualism correlates with societal happiness because the most common measure of societal happiness (i.e., country-level aggregates of personal life satisfaction) is individualism-themed. With the data collected from 13,009 participants across fifty countries, we compare associations of four types of happiness (out of which three are more collectivism-themed than personal life satisfaction) with two different measures of individualism. We replicated previous findings by demonstrating that societal happiness measured as country-level aggregate of personal life satisfaction is correlated with individualism. Importantly though, we also found that the country-level aggregates of the collectivism-themed measures of happiness do not tend to be significantly correlated with individualism. Implications for happiness studies and for policy makers are signaled

The role of teacher self-efficacy in students' achievement

The master thesis is about the role of teacher self-efficacy in students’ achievement in developing post-Soviet country such as Georgia. The research reviews evaluation strategies of teachers, different practices and theory. Nature of low achievement is discussed related to socio-economic status, importance of parenting, good teaching, SEN skills, and social environment and health issues. Another large topic is a part of teacher self-efficacy in the evaluation process of teachers’ effectiveness. The quantitative research was held in Tbilisi schools. Respondents were teachers of the classes from 6 to 10th grades. The mean of their self-efficacy was not different with the mean of their colleagues, despite correlation between self-efficacy and students’ achievement could not be confirmed. Only the one factor – efficacy in student engagement was correlated with students’ low achievement. Difference was not significant among the number of low achiever students in central and suburban schools but in private schools there were less low achiever students than in public schools which was mainly explained by the difference of socio-economic status of the families. The length of experience and holding professional certificates did not have influence on their self-efficacy. Class size did not matter with the number of low achiever students in the classroom. Georgian Social-economic and historical context and Educational politics was discussed in the context of the variables listed above. The researchers were advised to inquire low achievement and its factors since 2020-22 when the Government of Georgia will provide scientific data about teachers and students in Georgian schools

Innovation as a function of company performance

This thesis aims to provide clarity on which factors within an organization positively affect its performance in terms of innovation.  Innovation is seen as a critical component of a company’s strategy in achieving market differentiation and profitability, yet for many, it remains a frustrating pursuit.  This study aims to empirically model the relationship between a firm’s investment in innovation and the effect of this investment on its performance.  The method used is Structural Equation Modeling with data gathered from our online survey of 128 respondents from firms within the EU.  This work addresses two research questions, the first being to confirm that a firm’s innovation performance is influenced by both a commitment to human factors focusing on softer values in combination with strong R&D and technical capability.  Secondly, whether the presence of innovation inhibitors influences this relationship.  The findings showed that a firm’s innovation performance is improved when it prioritizes creating an environment and culture that nurtures innovation only when activated through a strong commitment to technical and R&D excellence, but not without this technical capacity.  Secondly, the introduction of innovation inhibitors reconfirmed the first finding, and the relationship between both the human factors within a company and its technical capability, as well as the relationship between this technical capability and its performance was stronger in their presence
