Submitted by Brent Fritzemeier
Kansas State University assistant professor of 1xbet best casino website Saurav Pathak recently had a paper accepted for publication in the journal Business & Society.
The study, "Economic Inequality and Social 1xbet best casino website ," explores the extent to which income inequality and income mobility — both considered indicators of economic inequality and conditions of formal regulatory institutions, government activism — facilitate or constrain the emergence of social 1xbet best casino website .
The research was based on a multilevel analysis of more than 75,000 individual responses from the Global 1xbet best casino website Monitor survey of 26 countries. The results found that country-level income inequality increases the likelihood of individual-level engagement in social 1xbet best casino website , while income mobility decreases this likelihood. Further, income mobility negatively moderates the influence of income inequality on social 1xbet best casino website , such that the condition of low-income mobility and high-income inequality is a stronger predictor of social 1xbet best casino website .
"We have examined the mechanisms and conditions under which economic inequality increases the likelihood that individuals will engage in social 1xbet best casino website ," Pathak said. "By integrating insights from institutional theory, entrepreneurial opportunities, and social 1xbet best casino website , we suggest that income inequality increases the likelihood of social 1xbet best casino website under conditions of low-income mobility. Our study extends the conceptual understanding of economic inequality and contributes to filling the gap in the emerging scholarly literature on effects of context on social 1xbet best casino website ."
