The Effect of Image Repair Strategies on Corporate Reputataion, Trust and Behavioral Intentions
Abstract
It is significant for organisations to maintain their relationships with their stakeholders during crisis over social media in order to repair their images. For this reason this paper aims to analyse the role of the crisis responses of evasion of responsibility (ER), denial (D), reducing the offensiveness of the event (ROE), mortification (M) and corrective action (CA), indicated by Benoit (1995) on reputation, trust and behavioural intentions. The data analysed in the study was collected in April 2016 using a questionnaire form with 1800 participants of Facebook users by convenience sampling in Antalya in Turkey. It is found that both denial and evasion of responsibility have effect on the perceptions of stakeholders about corporate reputation and trust; but nonof the crisis response strategies has affect on the behavioural intentions of the stakeholders.
