Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to develop an integrative concept of perceived authenticity that captures a more nuanced perception of authenticity among LGBTQ stakeholders and to examine the effects of perceived organizational authenticity on Pride campaign evaluations.Design/methodology/approachWith 400 LGBTQ/non-LGBTQ participants, we developed a perceived organizational authenticity (POA) scale - adapted from marketing literature - adding representativeness as the fifth dimension to the context of LGBTQ communication. We also examined the differences between LGBTQ participants and non-LGBTQ participants in perceiving authenticity and evaluating the Pride 2020 campaign in terms of brand attitude, skepticism and purchase intention.FindingsOur scale development resulted in a 20-item POA scale measuring five dimensions: continuity, credibility, integrity, symbolism and representativeness. We also found that POA increases brand attitude and purchase intention while mitigating skepticism toward the Pride 2020 campaign.Research limitations/implicationsThis study provides not only empirical support for perceived authenticity literature across communication disciplines including marketing as well as public relations, but it also propels an interdisciplinary approach to POA scale development.Practical implicationsThe POA scale can be used to measure the effectiveness of organizational communication as well as stakeholder perception of authenticity. This research provides guidelines regarding how POA of LGBTQ communication might be enhanced.Originality/valueThis study developed a POA scale in the context of LGBTQ communication. This study is innovative in developing a POA scale that can be used to measure the effectiveness of public relations and communication efforts, as well as perceived authenticity of LGBTQ communication.
LGBTQ沟通中的组织真实性感知:规模发展与初步实证研究
本研究的目的是建立一个感知真实性的综合概念,以捕捉LGBTQ利益相关者对真实性的更细微的感知,并研究感知组织真实性对骄傲运动评估的影响。在400名LGBTQ/非LGBTQ参与者中,我们开发了一个感知组织真实性(POA)量表——改编自市场营销文献——将代表性作为LGBTQ交流背景的第五个维度。我们还研究了LGBTQ参与者和非LGBTQ参与者在感知真实性和评估“骄傲2020”活动方面的差异,包括品牌态度、怀疑态度和购买意愿。结果发现,我们开发了一个20项的POA量表,测量了五个维度:连续性、可信度、完整性、象征主义和代表性。我们还发现,POA增加了品牌态度和购买意愿,同时减轻了对“骄傲2020”活动的怀疑。研究局限/启示本研究不仅为跨传播学科(包括市场营销学和公共关系学)的感知真实性文献提供了实证支持,而且推动了跨学科研究POA量表的发展。实践意义POA量表可以用来衡量组织沟通的有效性以及利益相关者对真实性的感知。本研究为如何提高LGBTQ交流的POA提供了指导。原创性/价值本研究编制了一个LGBTQ交际语境下的POA量表。本研究的创新之处在于开发了一个POA量表,可以用来衡量公共关系和传播工作的有效性,以及LGBTQ传播的感知真实性。
