Niveli i kënaqësisë së shqiptarëve me zhvillimin e demokracisë: efektet e drejtimit të zyrtarëve të lartë dhe besimit në institucione
The level of satisfaction of Albanians in relation to democracy: The impact of leadership and trust in institutions

Summary/Abstract: This study focuses on citizen satisfaction with democracy in Albania. Utilizing data from the World Values Survey of Albania (2002), this study examines the impact that satisfaction with the work of high-level officials and confidence in social and political institutions have on satisfaction with democracy, controlling for the effects of financial security, education, and geography. Results indicated that individuals who were satisfied with democracy were more likely to be satisfied with the work of high-level officials and had a high level of confidence in social and political institutions. Satisfaction with the work of high-level officials had the greatest impact on the likelihood of Albanians to be satisfied with democracy. These findings add value to the existing debates on democracy and governance in Albania, showing that satisfaction with state leadership and confidence in social and political institutions matter to citizen satisfaction with democracy.
