Across three studies, there is evidence that a conflict between materialistic and green value profiles can arise in consumers. When it arises, it seems to be related to diminished well-being. Study 1 sh...
Customers admiring celebrities tend to have a more favorable evaluation of the brands endorsed by their idols (Rockwell and Giles, 2009).
This paper examines the role of calculative practices in the creation of the Charlie Chaplin museum, a multiparty cultural project with the mission to 'bring back' the great entertainer in an 'authentic' and commercially viable way. As with many other cultural organizations, there are multiple parties with competing and even conflicting objectives,...

Aber was bedeutet Markenauthentizität genau in den Augen der Kunden? Dieser Beitrag liefert Erkenntnisse darüber, weshalb das Konzept Markenauthentizität heute wichtig ist, was es gena...

This study aims at identifying segments of sharing consumers to unearth potentially viable clusters of a consumer behavior that is a market of growing economic relevance. By means of a qualitative study and a survey with a roughly representative sample of 1121 Swiss‐German and...
Although brand authenticity is gaining increasing interest in consumer behavior research and managerial practice, literature on its measurement and contribution to branding theory is still limited. This article develops an integrative framework of the concept of brand authenticity and reports the development and validation of a scale measuring cons...
By means of a multi-sited multi-method ethnography of CouchSurfing.org, this study explores what motivates consumers to share their homes with strangers. Our findings suggest that participation is best understood by focusing on experience sharing and identify four types of experiential capital as sources of self-enhancement.
How can managers elicit brand-building behaviors on the part of frontline employees? When comparing brand-specific âtransactionalâ and âtransformationalâ leadership styles, the latter clearly outperforms the former. Transactional leaders influence followers through a process of compliance, leading to increased turnover intentions and a decr...

Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie rufen als Kunde bei „Krombacher“ an und geraten an eine Dame, die Ihnen ruhig und sachlich Ihre Frage beantwortet. Nicht weiter verwunderlich, denken Sie? Laut einer aktuell veröffentlichten Untersuchung zum markenkonformen Verhalten in Kundentelefonaten wäre das jedoch nicht „on-brand“, also markenadäquat, weil das sprach...

This article reports two studies on how managers can elicit brand-building behavior from frontline employees. Study 1 examines the mechanisms by which brand-specific transactional and transformational leadership influence employees' brand-building behavior. The results from a survey of 269 customer-contact employees show that brand-specific transac...
Mitarbeiter spielen für den Markenerfolg eines Unternehmens eine zentrale Rolle. Sie sind es, die die Marke nach außen hin verkörpern und durch ihr Verhalten an den Kundenkontaktpunkten das Markenerlebnis der Kunden wesentlich prägen (Berry 2000; Hartline et al. 2000). Die Relevanz markenorientierten Mitarbeiterverhaltens – des so genannten Brand B...

Second, data quality is often unsatisfying, for example, due to social desirability prob...
