A frequently discussed topic nowadays, especially in business, marketing or human resources, is the generation gap. Young people have a relatively strong environmental sense, which is also reflected in their choice of employment. When formulating the hypotheses, we proceeded from theories of social capital. Gen Z, which has grown up and matured in a fully digital world, attracts a lot of attention. This is evidenced by the many expert studies on the subject. One important reason for studying the behaviour and attitudes of Gen Z is their significant purchasing power. These people are on the rise or approaching the peak of their professional careers....

Central European Business Review 2025, 14(3):21-44 | DOI: 10.18267/j.cebr.386
This study aims to statistically investigate the effects of an infodemic as an external stimulus on consumer decision processes based on the stimulus-organism-response theory (SOR). An infodemic is known as an epidemic of misinformation, and the literature on infodemics in marketing is quite limited. With the research model created for this purpose, the mediating role of brand trust (organism) in the relationship between both infodemic and positive word-of-mouth marketing (stimulus) and consumers' store visit intentions (response) is examined. The findings suggest that infodemic news and positive word-of-mouth marketing influence consumers' shopping...

The effectiveness of education policies and economic, social and environmental conditions play a crucial role in a country’s ability to attract intellectual capital and influence emigration levels. Effective management of migration processes requires coordinating and synchronizing policies across various economic sectors to address the complexity of these dynamics. This study employs a two-step system of the generalized method of moments (GMM) to analyse the impacts of population literacy and ICT skills on migration patterns in EU countries in the period 2007–2022. The findings underscore the importance of enhancing ICT skills and improving...
Does Gender Interact with Financial Reporting Quality?
Ivana Tadić, Željana Aljinović Barać, Jurica Kurtović
Central European Business Review 2025, 14(3):65-85 | DOI: 10.18267/j.cebr.387
The underrepresentation of women in leadership positions is common evidence of gender inequality. Consequently, the European Commission brought a directive to balance the underrepresentation of women on boards in EU countries. Often, females are presumed to be less favourable for top management positions in successful companies and are faced with different obstacles during their careers. However, they possess many different characteristics, which makes them excellent leaders and may create positive differences in financial reporting quality (FRQ). Croatia still lags behind other EU countries in terms of the share of women within corporate boards; therefore,...
Understanding Consumers and Their Preferences Purchasing Food with Product Quality Labels: Insights from the Czech Market
Michal Stoklasa, Michal Halaška
Central European Business Review 2025, 14(3):87-102 | DOI: 10.18267/j.cebr.390
Companies with product quality labels, often micro-companies or solo entrepreneurs, do not have the marketing know-how of retail chains and are being outpaced in communication in the fast current online environment, especially on social media platforms. Current literature does not provide this specific knowledge, such as what are the important product quality characteristics which should be talked about in marketing campaigns and how these should campaigns be targeted. Thus, the aim of this article is to examine the product quality characteristics important for Czech consumers purchasing food products with a quality label and find suitable consumer...
Exploring the Nexus between Corporate Sustainability Disclosure and Firm Tax Behaviour: A Meta-Analysis
Maria Mitroulia, Evangelos Chytis, Thomas Kitsantas
Central European Business Review 2025, 14(3):103-131 | DOI: 10.18267/j.cebr.391
An increasing number of articles published on the nexus between corporate sustainability disclosure (CSD) and tax behaviour (TB) have enriched the academic research landscape. However, they have provided inconclusive results as to the nature of the connection and have not yet adequately examined the sources of variation that might moderate the effect sizes under investigation. This study performs a standard meta-analysis and synthesises the empirical-quantitative results regarding the CSD-TB connection, following Hunter & Schmidt's (1990) research design. Several criteria are employed to collect documents with methodological and content relevance....
