Abstract

ABSTRACT The accumulating literature regarding antecedents of organization-public relationships (OPRs) has been mixed. This study employed a meta-analytic method to synthesize the roles of organizational openness and publics’ engagement behaviors quantitatively and systematically in studies of OPRs. The results showed that the corrected mean correlations ( ) between organizational openness and OPRs ranged from .52 to .72, and those between publics’ engagement behaviors and OPRs ranged from .30 ‘to .42. Overall, the relationships between engagement and elements of OPRs differed for (1) for-profit organizations versus others (e.g. nonprofits, government); (2) samples collected from the eastern versus western cultures; and (3) different types of populations (i.e. students, survey panels, and target populations). Similar patterns also emerged for the moderating effects of organization and population type on the associations between openness and OPRs. Synthesizing existing empirical results on openness, engagement, and OPRs meta-analytically helps build consensus on those relationships and inspires new directions for OPRs theory building.

通过开放和参与促进组织-公众关系:一项元分析

关于组织-公众关系(OPRs)的前因的文献积累是混杂的。本研究采用元分析方法，定量、系统地综合了组织开放性和公众参与行为在公众责任报告研究中的作用。结果表明，组织开放度与opr之间的修正平均相关系数()在0.52 ~ 0.72之间，公众参与行为与opr之间的修正平均相关系数()在0.30 ~ 0.42之间。总体而言，在营利性组织与其他组织(如非营利组织、政府)中，参与与OPRs要素之间的关系有所不同;(2)从东西方文化中收集的样本;(3)不同类型的人群(即学生、调查小组和目标人群)。类似的模式也出现了组织和人口类型对开放性和opr之间关系的调节作用。综合现有的关于开放性、敬业度和OPRs的实证结果，进行元分析有助于在这些关系上建立共识，并为OPRs理论建设激发新的方向。
