Abstract

Reputation scholars in the field of regulation tend to focus on the strategic nature—or: “agency”—of reputation management. We know fairly little about the precise nature of the dynamics and conflicts between structural and agential factors that are experienced by regulators in practice, and how these dynamics impact reputation management and its outcomes. This study addresses these questions, using conceptual language from the strategic-relational approach to study the reputation management of the Belgian financial regulator during an event of high reputational salience: the global financial crisis. The results present an image of a regulator as a strategic actor who—either consciously or more intuitively—calculated its possible moves in light of a strategically selective context (which, in turn, was constantly evolving as a result of strategic actions). This contributes to a more complex and behaviorally realistic understanding of regulatory reputation management.
作为结构和代理的相互作用的声誉管理:一种战略关系方法
监管领域的声誉学者倾向于关注声誉管理的战略性质或“代理”。我们对监管机构在实践中所经历的结构因素和代理因素之间的动态和冲突的确切性质,以及这些动态如何影响声誉管理及其结果知之甚少。本研究解决了这些问题,使用战略关系方法的概念语言来研究比利时金融监管机构在高度声誉突出事件中的声誉管理:全球金融危机。研究结果显示,监管者是一个战略行为者,有意识地或更直观地根据战略选择的背景(反过来,作为战略行动的结果,这一背景不断发展)来计算其可能的行动。这有助于对监管声誉管理有更复杂和行为现实的理解。

期刊介绍: Regulation & Governance serves as the leading platform for the study of regulation and governance by political scientists, lawyers, sociologists, historians, criminologists, psychologists, anthropologists, economists and others. Research on regulation and governance, once fragmented across various disciplines and subject areas, has emerged at the cutting edge of paradigmatic change in the social sciences. Through the peer-reviewed journal Regulation & Governance, we seek to advance discussions between various disciplines about regulation and governance, promote the development of new theoretical and empirical understanding, and serve the growing needs of practitioners for a useful academic reference.
