Corporate reputation (CR) is an intangible asset whose treatment and definition depends on the discipline studying the phenomenon. Based on the relational and organizational perspective (Chun, 2005), CR is a collective construct that describes a company and its situation by the aggregate perceptions of internal and external stakeholders. From this...
Giving without the expectation of reward is difficult to understand in organizational contexts. In opposition to a logic based on self-interest or a sense of duty, a “logic of gift” has been proposed as a way to understand the phenomenon of free, unconditional giving. However, the rationale behind, and effects of, this logic have been under-explore...
Numerous researchers have examined the antecedents of trust between managers and subordinates. Recent studies conclude that their influence varies depending on whether what is being examined is a manager's trust in a subordinate or a subordinate's trust in a manager. However, the reasons given to justify this phenomenon present limitations. This ar...

These conceptual frameworks are capable of influencing how readers perceive and interpret news events, ultimately influencing their behavior as consum...

The objective is to offer a theoretical model to help conceptualize ethics and to clarify the characteristics and constraints of the different ethical theories. An integral ethical approach must include three dimensions: norms, good and virtue. It is argued that each of these dimensions stems from a comprehensive anthropology that deals with unders...

Every company operates in a more or less ethical way; hence it is possible to distinguish different levels of ethical quality. The article identifies four categories ranging from ethically reprehensible businesses to ethically excellent...
Conceptualization and measurement of organizational commitment involve different dimensions that include economic, affective,
as well as moral aspects labelled in the literature as: ‘continuance’, ‘affective’ and ‘normative’ commitment. This multidimensional
framework emerges from the convergence of different research lines. Using Aristotle’s philo...
