Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which organizational reputation, crisis communicative strategy, and form of crisis response affect organization-public relations with respect to crisis contexts at the firm level. A survey of public relations and/or public affairs managers from Taiwans top-500 companies was conducted. The results showed that the relative effects of three factors on four relational characteristics are in the order of form of crisis response (timely response, consistent response, and active response), then crisis communicative strategies (denial, diversion, excuse, justification and concession), and last organizational reputation. Moreover, the results challenge the traditional wisdom involving the robustness of concession as an effective communicative strategy across crisis situations. Specifically, the results emphasized the intriguing mediating role of form of crisis response by demonstrating that it is necessary for more concession communicative response to generate more favorable relational outcomes.
