ABSTRACT

This study applies expectancy violation theory and confirmation bias to the corporate social responsibility (CSR) context to explore how consumers respond to a corporation’s CSR activities. A 2 (CSR expectancy: higher vs. lower) X 2 (CSR practice: good vs. bad) experimental study examines how both negative and positive expectancy violation/conformity influence consumers’ attitudes to a corporation and their intentions to support it. The results reveal a significant interaction between CSR expectancy and CSR practice (i.e., expectancy violation/conformity effects). Specifically, negative expectancy violation (i.e., where a corporation violates consumers’ higher CSR expectancy) elicited less positive corporate attitudes and supportive behavior intentions than lower expectancy conformity (i.e., where a corporation meets consumers’ lower-CSR expectancy). On the other hand, positive expectancy conformity (i.e., where a corporation meets consumers’ higher CSR expectancy) yielded more positive consumer responses than positive expectancy violation (i.e., where a corporation exceeds consumers’ lower-CSR expectancy). This study also explores the mediating role of corporate credibility as communicator reward valence in influencing the effects of expectancy violation/conformity. The implications of the study provide strategic guidance that should help corporations implement CSR initiatives that satisfy consumer expectancy and enhance corporate credibility, thus minimizing negative expectancy violation effects.

CSR期望违规的影响:期望违规理论和确认偏差的价值

摘要

本研究将预期违背理论和确认偏见应用于企业社会责任(CSR)的背景下,以探讨消费者如何响应企业的CSR活动。A 2(企业社会责任预期:较高与较低)X 2(企业社会责任实践:良好与不良)的实验研究考察了负面和正面预期违规/整合如何影响消费者对公司的态度以及支持公司的意图。结果表明,CSR期望值与CSR实践之间存在显着的相互作用(即,期望值违规/整合影响)。具体而言,负期望值违规(即公司违反了消费者较高的CSR期望值)所引起的积极的企业态度和支持行为意图要比较低的期望一致性(即 公司满足消费者较低的CSR期望的地方)。另一方面,积极的期望一致性(即公司满足消费者的更高的CSR期望)比积极的期望违规(即公司超出消费者的更低的CSR期望)产生了更多的积极消费者响应。这项研究还探讨了企业信誉作为沟通奖励价值在影响预期违规/整合影响方面的中介作用。该研究的意义提供了战略指导,可以帮助企业实施满足消费者期望并增强企业信誉的CSR举措,从而最大程度地减少负面期望违规影响。公司满足消费者较高的CSR期望的情况下,比正面期望违约(即,公司超出消费者的CSR期望值低的情况)产生了更多积极的消费者反应。这项研究还探讨了企业信誉作为沟通奖励价值在影响预期违规/整合影响方面的中介作用。该研究的意义提供了战略指导,可以帮助企业实施满足消费者期望并增强企业信誉的CSR举措,从而最大程度地减少负面期望违规影响。公司满足消费者较高的CSR期望的情况下,比正面期望违约(即,公司超出消费者的CSR期望值低的情况)产生了更多积极的消费者反应。这项研究还探讨了企业信誉作为沟通奖励价值在影响预期违规/整合影响方面的中介作用。该研究的意义提供了战略指导,可以帮助企业实施满足消费者期望并增强企业信誉的CSR举措,从而最大程度地减少负面期望违规影响。这项研究还探讨了企业信誉作为沟通奖励价值在影响预期违规/整合影响方面的中介作用。该研究的意义提供了战略指导,可以帮助企业实施满足消费者期望并增强企业信誉的CSR举措,从而最大程度地减少负面期望违规影响。这项研究还探讨了企业信誉作为沟通奖励价值在影响预期违规/整合影响方面的中介作用。该研究的意义提供了战略指导,可以帮助企业实施满足消费者期望并增强企业信誉的CSR举措,从而最大程度地减少负面期望违规影响。
