Altruism and tax compliance: Unveiling the dual role of charitable giving and social norms in global tax evasion

This study investigates the relationship between altruistic behaviors and tax evasion, using panel data from 172 countries spanning 2011 to 2020. The analysis focuses on three dimensions of altruism—helping strangers, volunteering, and donating to charity—derived from the World Giving Index, while tax evasion is proxied by the size of the informal economy as estimated by the IMF. With a final sample of 1,103 country-year observations, the study employs a fixed effects regression model to account for unobserved, time-invariant heterogeneity across countries and global shocks over time. GDP per capita, sourced from the World Bank, is included as a control variable. The findings reveal a dual relationship: the percentage of individuals helping strangers is negatively correlated with tax evasion, suggesting that strong social norms and intrinsic motivations for altruistic behavior promote tax compliance. In contrast, the percentage of individuals donating to charity is positively correlated with tax evasion, indicating that charitable giving may sometimes rationalize non-compliance through mechanisms like the Crowding-Out Hypothesis or the Compensatory Altruism Hypothesis. Volunteering, however, shows no significant effect on tax evasion. These results underscore the complexity of the relationship between pro-social behaviors and tax compliance. Policymakers are encouraged to promote social norms that foster both altruism and tax compliance while carefully designing tax incentives for charitable giving to prevent unintended consequences. This study contributes to the literature by providing nuanced insights into the interplay between altruistic behaviors and tax evasion on a global scale, highlighting the importance of context in understanding compliance behaviors.

‘While Strictly Speaking It Is Illegal, You Can Work as Long as You Want’: How Platform Facades Enable Gig Workers to Comply With, Bend and Break Migration Rules

ABSTRACTMigrant workers are frequently viewed as passive recipients of immigration controls. Bringing together three strands of the migration literature, namely the structuralist, agency and temporal perspectives, we analyse how migrant workers in the Australian gig economy navigate immigration controls and labour market barriers, thereby advancing debates on gig work and migration. We examine migrant workers' (non)compliance with working rights restrictions and their adherence to, or disregard for, local rules and regulations. Drawing upon 38 interviews with 30 migrants working via ‘emerging’ food‐delivery platforms, which use ‘platform facades’—an original concept this article develops—rather than comprehensive algorithmic architectures, we find these workers use these platforms' relative lax compliance regimes, independent contractor engagement‐model and work practices to circumvent migration restrictions, with co‐ethnic networks playing a facilitative role. The findings highlight the importance of temporal orientations and migration intentions for understanding migrant gig workers' (non)compliance behaviours.

Examining the Role of Psychological Symptoms and Safety Climate in Shaping Safety Behaviors Among Construction Workers

Construction workers are often subjected to strenuous manual labor, poor working conditions, and prolonged separation from family, leading to psychological symptoms such as stress, depression, and anxiety. These psychological factors, combined with safety climate elements like risk perception and safety attitude, significantly influence workers’ safety behaviors, including risk-taking, safety compliance, and safety participation. To address these issues, this study investigates the interplay between psychological symptoms, safety climate, and safety behaviors among construction workers in Mainland China. Data were collected through a survey of 160 construction workers, with results analyzed using correlation and regression techniques. The findings reveal that: (1) risky behavior is primarily driven by anxiety and risk perception; (2) safety participation is influenced by safety attitudes and levels of depression; and (3) safety compliance is affected by risk perception, safety attitude, stress, and depression. Interestingly, an inverse relationship is observed between depression and both risky behavior and safety compliance. These results underscore the importance of addressing psychological well-being to improve safety outcomes. Practical implications include providing psychological counseling, stress management training, and improving social connections for workers, such as facilitating regular video calls with family members or offering travel reimbursements.

Enhancing Project Citizenship Behavior by Psychological Empowerment: Roles of Work Engagement and Perceived Organizational Support

Increasing evidence suggests that project citizenship behaviors (PCBs) are critical to project success. However, the mechanisms that enhance PCBs remain poorly understood, particularly regarding the role of individual psychological states. Based on self-determination theory, this study investigated how and when the psychological empowerment of information technology (IT) project managers affects their PCBs. Data were collected in two waves of time-lagged surveys (N = 283). Research hypotheses were tested by partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). It was found that psychological empowerment positively predicts PCBs, and work engagement plays a partial mediating role. Results of necessary condition analysis (NCA) provide additional evidence for this. Moreover, perceived organizational support strengthened the relationships between work engagement and two types of PCBs (i.e., loyalty behavior and initiative behavior), but did not significantly moderate the relationships between work engagement and the other two types of PCBs (i.e., helping behavior and compliance behavior). This study enriches the literature on PCB antecedents and expands the application of self-determination theory in project management.

Unravelling the Effects of Perceived Severity of Penalties on Income Tax Compliance for Tanzanian Small and Medium Enterprises

Enhancing tax compliance behaviour among SMEs will improve revenue collection, thus enable government to finance social-economic welfare of its citizens. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of perceived severity of penalties on individual income tax compliance among Tanzanian Small and Medium Enterprises. A cross-sectional survey of 382 SMEs was conducted in six tax regions of Tanzania – Kinondoni, Kariakoo, Temeke, Mtwara, Singida and Tabora, selected using simple random technique. Descriptive and Partial Least Square Equation Modelling were used for data analysis. The findings of the study show that perceived severity of penalties has positive and significant effects on the decision of the individual to register with the tax system and make correct declaration of income. On the other hand, it has a positive, but insignificant effect on the decision of the taxpayer to pay taxes within due dates. The findings imply that penalties are more effective in enhancing compliance behaviour at the registration and declaration than on payment stage. Thus, government through the Tanzania Revenue Authority should continue to use penalties and other administrative measures including inter alia, taxpayer education, good customer care and services, to enhance tax compliance behaviour among SMEs.

Behavioral Intervention with Eye-Use Monitoring to Delay Myopia Onset and Progression in Children: A Cluster Randomized Trial.

To assess the efficacy of a behavioral intervention using Eye-Use Monitoring technology to delay the onset and progression of myopia in children. A prospective, cluster-randomized, parallel-groups, examiner-masked, clinical trial (Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR2100052101). A total of 413 children from grades 2 to 4 in Shandong, China, from October 2021 to December 2023 were randomized by class into three groups: reminder & feedback (6 classes, 156 children), reminder-only (5 classes, 147 children), and control (3 classes, 110 children). Children with prior myopia control interventions, significant eye conditions, or a history of eye diseases were excluded. The reminder-only group received real-time vibration alerts for prolonged near work, close proximity, head tilt, or inadequate lighting. The reminder & feedback group received these alerts plus behavioral feedback, including praise, rewards, and weekly reports. The control group received no intervention. The intervention lasted 49 weeks, followed by a 49-week observation period without intervention. The primary outcome was the mean change in cycloplegic spherical equivalent at 49 weeks. Secondary outcomes included changes in axial length, myopia incidence, rates of rapid myopic shift, participant compliance, and eye-use behaviors. At 49 weeks, changes in spherical equivalent and axial length were least in the reminder & feedback group (spherical equivalent: -0.52±0.35D vs. -0.59±0.43D vs. -0.73±0.48D, axial length: 0.30±0.14mm vs. 0.33±0.16mm vs. 0.40±0.20mm, in reminder & feedback group, reminder only group, and control group, respectively, both P<0.001). Myopia incidence was lowest in the reminder & feedback group (13.3% vs. 21.6% vs. 27.78%, in reminder & feedback group, reminder only group, and control group, respectively, P<0.05). However, differences diminished by the 98-week follow-up. This study demonstrated that the combination of Eye-Use Monitoring reminders and feedback on eye-use behaviors can effectively delay the onset and progression of myopia in children. However, sustained intervention may be necessary to maintain long-term benefits.

ADHD를 가진 청소년의 수업방해 행동 및 부모와의 상호작용 개선을 위한 다중체계치료 사례 연구

Purpose: This study is a single-case study of multisystemic therapy focusing on the problems of classroom disruptive behavior, peer bullying, disobedience to teachers, and negative interactions with mother in a middle-school boy with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods: Treatment was conducted over a seven-month period with a team of two counselors and one supervisor. Home visits were conducted weekly and included parenting coaching for the mother, social skills training for the child, and monitoring of the reward system. The evaluation included behavioral observation (counselor, teacher), K-CBCL (Korean-Child Behavior Checklist), TRF (Teacher's Report Form), and Parenting Stress Index (PSI). The intervention focused on a behavioral therapeutic approach to identify and improve environmental factors that contribute to problem behaviors, and weekly supervision meetings were held. Results: First, classroom disruptive behavior, peer bullying, disobedience to teacher, and negative interactions with mother decreased. Second, compliance behaviors such as returning home before 10 p.m., going to bed at 12 p.m., waking up at 7 a.m., and speaking without anger increased. Third, there were positive changes in K-CBCL, TRF, and PSI. Conclusion: The effectiveness of multisystemic treatment for ADHD children with externalizing problem behaviors was confirmed. It is suggested that multisystemic therapy can be proposed as an alternative to individual counseling which has limited effects on externalizing problem behaviors.

Shared occupancy and property tax arrears

AbstractShared occupancy arrangements are on the rise in recent years due to affordability constraints in homeownership. This article examines for the first time the property tax compliance behavior of shared dwellings, where homeowners rent out part of their own homes to tenants. Using administrative property‐level data from Ghana, where homeowners are responsible for tax payments, we reveal that shared dwellings, compared to pure owner‐occupied homes, are more likely to be in tax arrears. The noncompliance of shared dwellings is more sensitive to property tax hikes than pure owner‐occupied homes, and greatest among those in the least affluent geographic areas. These effects are moderated by reciprocity, in that compliance levels are higher in locations closer to public services and amenities. The findings provide new insights for policymakers on the tax compliance effects arising in shared occupancies.

HUBUNGAN TINGKAT PENGETAHUAN PASIEN DENGAN KEPATUHAN MINUM OBAT HIPERTENSI DI PUSKESMAS KOTAGEDE II PERIODE FEBRUARI 2024

Hypertension is the most leading cause of death after stroke and tuberculosis, accounting for 6.7% of all-age deaths in Indonesia. This is supported by Riskesdas data which explains that 13.3% of people with hypertension do not take medication. Non-adherence to therapy is one of the factors that lead to an increase in the prevalence of hypertension. Therefore, the level of knowledge of antihypertensive drugs is a major factor influencing the compliance behavior of hypertensive patients, so that the level of knowledge will support the success of therapy with antihypertensives. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and compliance with taking antihypertensive drugs at the Kotagede II Yogyakarta Health Center. The research method used is observational which is analytic in nature with a cross sectional approach. Data collection in this study consisted of a knowledge questionnaire and an antihypertensive medication compliance questionnaire. The data analysis used was the chi-Square Test on SPSS 25. Research resultsThe results showed that the level of knowledge was good (60.27%), sufficient (34.25%), less (5.45%). Compliance with taking antihypertensive drugs is high (27%), moderate (30%) low (14%). The results of the chi-square test that have been carried out obtained an asymp sig value of 0.022 &lt;0.05 states that there is knowledge and compliance, with a significance value on the results showing (p = 0.022 &lt;0.05).

The Influence of Company Reputation, Service Quality and Directors’ Tax Knowledge on Tax Compliance Behaviour of Malaysian Large Companies

Tax compliance behaviour among Malaysian large companies is a crucial area of investigation, particularly considering the significant contribution of corporate taxes to national revenue. Researchers have suggested that tax compliance behaviour of large companies in Malaysia is likely influenced by their surrounding compliance practices. However, to date, no published studies have explored the relationship between company reputation, service quality, and directors’ tax knowledge, and corporate tax compliance behavior, which has led to this research. For the purpose of this study, the Behavioural Decision Theory (BDT) was employed to explain optimality in decision-making, judgment, and human choice, in tax compliance behaviour. An online questionnaire was distributed to 500 Malaysian large companies in Peninsular Malaysia through the systematic random sampling method, of which 161 companies (32.2%) responded. The data was analysed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal a significantly positive relationship between directors’ tax knowledge and large companies’ tax compliance behaviour. On the other hand, negative relationships are documented for company reputation and service quality, and tax compliance behaviour. The results, however, are not significant. This study recommends that the tax knowledge of company directors is important to ensure companies comply with the tax law voluntarily. Hence, training programmes for directors should be conducted regularly so as to assure their knowledge is current, ultimately promoting ethical decision-making, i.e., minimising tax evasion and misreporting.

Compliance Behaviour After a Coronary Ischaemic Event: A Quasi-Experimental Study of Adherence to a Protocolised Follow-Up in Primary Care.

Following a coronary ischaemic event, it is essential to promote empowerment in self-care decision making. Primary care nursing is crucial for intensive follow-up to promote adherence to the therapeutic regimen. Objective: To ascertain whether adherence to a protocolised follow-up programme, with the support of a patient notebook, improves compliance behaviours in terms of physical activity, prescribed diet and medication. This is a quasi-experimental multicentre pre/post study. Population: Individuals aged 40-70 years, diagnosed with cardiac ischaemia in the last 18 months with a follow-up from March 2017 to January 2019, were included in a protocolised follow-up programme consisting of 11 visits over 12 months. A total of 194 patients started the programme and 132 completed it. Of these, 67.4% exhibited good adherence to follow-up, 31.8% exhibited medium adherence, and 0.8% exhibited poor adherence. Therefore, the patients were recoded into two variables: Medium-Low Adherence and High. The Nursing Outcomes Classification variables were significantly different between the Poor-Medium and Good Adherence groups and were always higher in the Good Adherence group (p-values < 0.05 t-student). There was a significant relationship between level of adherence and compliance behaviour. Good adherence to a follow-up plan led by primary care nurses improves compliance behaviours in terms of prescribed diet, physical activity, and medication. Early, intensive and protocolised follow-up by primary care nurses is essential to improve adherence to the therapeutic regimen and compliance behaviour among individuals with cardiac ischaemia. The use of a cardiovascular self-care notebook promotes adherence.

Legal Compliance and Detection Avoidance: Results on the Impact of Different Law-Enforcement Designs

Abstract This paper provides experimental evidence on how various law enforcement designs impact legal compliance and detection avoidance behaviors. Our three experiments explore differences in enforcement based on two factors: whether the fine revenue is allocated to the victim or the enforcer, and whether the enforcer has an active role in influencing enforcement. While the overall results indicate that these design variations have minimal impact on behavior on average, data from our most comprehensive study reveals contrasting effects on taking rates between men and women.

Determinants of Small Business Tax Compliance Behaviour: Evidence From Zimbabwean Small Businesses

Many developing countries have implemented tax regulations for small enterprises and the simplification of tax systems in recent times. Tax compliance attitudes within this sector vary significantly due to the high cost to comply and the technical nature of tax law. Many different factors influence presumptive tax compliance and previous research did not necessarily identify the determinants of this phenomenon. Two hundred and nineteen small business owners/managers participated in the study. The validation of the measurement model and the structural model was performed using the Partial-Least Squares Structural Equation Model. The study evaluated the impact of tax morale, corruption and taxpayer/tax office relationships on presumptive tax compliance in the Zimbabwean context. It was found that corruption significantly influences small business operators’ compliance levels under a presumptive tax system. Significant differences were found in small business owners and managers who differed in their perceptions of their relationships with the tax office. The results of this study would assist tax authorities in understanding small businesses’ perceptions when reviewing the current presumptive tax systems.

Comparative legal aspect of development of the civil service institution in Ukraine and Great Britain

The article is devoted to the study of the civil service institution in Ukraine and the United Kingdom, and a comparative legal analysis is carried out which allows identifying both common features and significant differences in the organization and functioning of the state apparatus of these countries. Particular attention is paid to the historical and cultural factors that influenced the formation of the modern civil service system. In Ukraine, the institution of civil service is considered to be an important element of administrative law and public administration, which ensures the implementation of state policy, fulfillment of state tasks and protection of citizens’ rights. At the same time, the civil service system of the United Kingdom, known as the ‘Civil Service’, demonstrates an example of a well-established, transparent and politically neutral model that has become a benchmark for many countries around the world. The paper focuses on the need to reform public administration in Ukraine, taking into account global trends and British experience. In particular, the concepts of ‘Good Governance’, ‘New Public Management’ and ‘Policy Networks’, which are the basis for reforms in developed democracies, are explored. The article analyses the importance of career development of civil servants as a key element of ensuring the effectiveness of public administration. Itis emphasized that the career development system in Ukraine is in the process of improvement, while in the UK it has a long tradition of transparency, integrity and political neutrality. The role of ethical standards in shaping the professional culture of the civil service is considered separately. The author presents a model of ‘ethical infrastructure of a democratic state’ aimed at teaching ethical behavior and monitoring compliance with ethical standards by civil servants. It is emphasized that enhancing the professio­nalism and ethics of civil servants is an integral factor in strengthening trust in the state apparatus, ensuring social stability and sustainable development, and the adaptation of British approaches to the Ukrainian reality will contribute to the creation of a transparent, efficient and accountable civil service system that will meet the current challenges and needs of society.

Motivational and behavioral mechanisms underlying generalized health risking behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic in smokers

Under the threat of public health challenges such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic, individual citizens’ active and cooperative participation in precautionary measures is crucial. Although non-compliance is recognized as a recurring problem, it remains unknown why some individuals tend to comply less than others and whether violations of preventive behaviors are observed consistently across different public health issues. To test our hypothesis that individuals would show consistent public health behavior transcending domains, we collected self-reports from two independent samples of participants (total N = 2983) on health risk beliefs and behavioral choices. Participants’ responses were collected in regard to two separate yet closely related public health issues: smoking and the COVID-19 pandemic. Our data reveal that on average, individuals’ beliefs and behaviors are consistent across different public health domains. In particular, smokers showed diminished compliance behaviors during the pandemic, which was mediated by their lower motives to protect public health. These results provide a psychological mechanism of how individuals’ health risk behaviors are generalized across different public health domains that may explain why some individuals (here, current-smokers) are more prone to violate public health behaviors.

MSME Taxpayer Compliance Based on Fiscal Policy (Study on MSMEs in the Cracker and Salted Fish Industries in Kenjeran, Surabaya)

This research aims to analyze how MSMEs (Micro/Small/Medium Enterprises) taxpayers comply with their tax payment obligation based on Fiscal Policy. The research population consists of MSME taxpayers living in Surabaya. The sample includes 52 respondents, selected using a purposive sampling method. A questionnaire was used as the instrument, and the data were analyzed using the SEM Approach with Warp PLS 6.0. The results showed that the compliance behavior of taxpayers, their willingness to negotiate, and the preparation of financial reports based on profit management have significant positive impacts on tax obligations, as measured by voluntary tax compliance. However, the tax morale of taxpayers also has some negative impacts on tax obligations, as measured by voluntary tax compliance. Novelty has found that the compliance of the taxpayers in running their tax obligation is influenced by the taxpayers’ behavior itself. Not because of the rules, but because they running it judging from their economic and financial condition using the Fiscal Policy Approach for MSMEs and the Conceptual Approach viewed from the opinion developed by that tax policy.

Factors That Influence Cybersecurity Compliance Behaviours by Bank Employees: A Case of Banks Operating In Kenya

Digitization of transactions in Banks has developed exponentially since the advent of the internet technology. This has brought about efficiency and high quality service delivery at all times. However, cyber threats also continue to grow exponentially in spite of various initiatives to counter the threats. There are numerous technology initiatives to address the issue of cyber threats but the problem still persists. There is very limited research on how to leverage on human behaviours to effectively improve Cyber security compliance behaviours in Banks. Investigating Cyber security Compliance behaviours in Banks has therefore become inevitable. The main purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence cyber security compliance behaviours in banks operating in Kenya. This was accomplished using a model that was based on an integration of three theories: Institutional Theory, the Protection Motivational Theory (PMT) and the General Deterrence Theory (GDT). In order to empirically test the relationships between the independent and dependent variables, data were collected from 75 purposively selected bank employees in Kenya. The Research was carried out using the mixed (both quantitative and qualitative) approach and survey tools used to collect data were verified for reliability and validity before being used. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS Version 25.0, MS Excel 2013, and WarpPLS (SEM) Version 7.0. The findings of our study indicate that the direct paths from the independent variables “Normative pressure” (p = 0.026, β = 0.213), “Self-Efficacy” (p &lt; 0.001, β = 0.440), “Punishment certainty” (p = 0.024, β = 0.217), “Age” (p = 0.013, β = 0.243), “Prior experience with computers” (p = 0.004, β = -0.284) were found to have a positive, direct and significant influence on a bank employee cyber security compliance behaviours. “Top management commitment” was found to partially mediate between self-efficacy and Cyber security compliance behaviours. Bank management may find the results useful for future policy formulation in relation to cyber-security compliance behaviours. Researchers and scholars may also find the results useful in terms of contribution to the body of knowledge and further investigation to fill the gaps identified by the study.

Effect of Narrative Nursing Intervention on Patients with Specific Digestive Tract Malignancies (Esophageal, Gastric, and Intestinal Cancers): A Retrospective Study.

To explore the effect of narrative nursing intervention on patients with esophageal, gastric, and intestinal cancers. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 103 patients with digestive tract malignant tumors admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to January 2024. According to the nursing intervention received by the patients, they were divided into a control group (n=51) and an observation group (n=52). The control group received routine nursing intervention, while the observation group received narrative nursing intervention in addition to the routine nursing intervention. The compliance behavior, negative emotional status, self-perceived burden, quality of life, and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared. After intervention, the observation group showed higher scores in medication, exercise, dietary, and emotional regulation adherence than the control group (P<0.05). Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) for negative emotions decreased in both groups, with a greater reduction in the observation group (P<0.05). Economic, physical, and emotional burden levels also decreased more in the observation group (P<0.05). Quality of life scores in physiological, social/family, emotional, and functional conditions improved more in the observation group (P<0.05). Adverse reactions, including nausea, vomiting, fatigue, pain, gastrointestinal reactions, and insomnia, were less frequent in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Narrative nursing intervention for patients with digestive tract malignant tumors can effectively improve patient compliance behavior, alleviate negative emotions, reduce self-perceived burden, promote the improvement of patient quality of life, and reduce the occurrence of related adverse reactions. However, the study is limited by its small sample size and single-center design, which may affect the generalizability of the findings. Further research with larger and more diverse populations is recommended.

The Effect of Personality Traits on Patient Compliance With Clear Aligners.

Patient compliance is crucial for achieving optimal outcomes in clear aligner (CA) therapy. Compliance may be influenced by various factors, including demographics, level of education, doctor-patient interaction, and personality traits based on the Big Five Inventory (BFI), which assesses openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. This study investigates the relationship between personality traits and compliance among CA patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 67 participants aged 12-60 undergoing CA treatment in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Patients completed an online questionnaire that assessed compliance behavior and personality traits using the BFI-10 tool. Data were statistically analyzed using SPSS software, version 26 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY), to examine correlations between personality traits, demographic factors, and adherence to CA therapy. Compliance was scored based on adherence to follow-up visits and aligner wear time. The study revealed that 34 participants (50.75%) demonstrated high adherence to the prescribed regimen. Males showed significantly higher compliance than females (p ≤ 0.05). Participants aged 12-34 exhibited the highest adherence rates (p ≤ 0.05), and those undergoing treatment for one year or less were also more compliant (p ≤ 0.05). Notably, satisfaction with one's smile did not significantly correlate with adherence (p > 0.05), contradicting the assumption that dissatisfaction with appearance drives better compliance. Furthermore, no significant association was identified between personality traits across any BFI domain and adherence. Despite the hypothesis that personality traits influence patient compliance, this study did not find a significant correlation. These findings suggest that factors other than personality traits may be more critical to adhering to CA treatment. The results highlight the need for further research to explore additional variables that may impact patient compliance in orthodontic therapy.
