{"title":"Resolved: Exploring the Role of Dialogic Engagement in Shareholder Activism for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion","authors":"Nur Uysal","doi":"10.1080/1062726x.2023.2260513","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1062726x.2023.2260513","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTAs the drive for enhanced diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) intensifies in the public sphere, shareholders are increasingly leveraging their influence and resources to proactively advance DEI causes that align with broader societal concerns. However, our understanding of “social” shareholder activism remains rudimentary. To address this gap, this research employs the dialogic engagement framework in public relations to examine the interactions between shareholder activists and corporations on DEI issues. Using a mixed methods research design, the study analyzes social issue shareholder proposals voted on from 2010 to 2022 (n = 1773) and conducts a detailed case study of shareholder activist-corporate engagement. Results indicate shareholders’ emphasis on an array of DEI matters, spanning from racial disparities to LGBTQ+ rights, and their push for increased disclosures, data-driven reports, and comprehensive racial equity audits. The case study underscores the pivotal role of relational, collaborative dialogic engagement within internal stakeholder activism. The study concludes by discussing various theoretical and practical ramifications stemming from the confluence of internal activism, dialogic engagement, and issues management were discussed.KEYWORDS: Dialogic engagementdiversityequityinclusioninternal activisminvestor relationsissues managementshareholder activism Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. https://www.costco.com/ceo-message.html2.

A proxy statement is a document containing the information the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires companies to provide to shareholders so they can make informed decisions about matters that will be brought up at an annual shareholder meeting. Shareholders can attend the meeting and vote in person or cast a proxy vote.4. A proxy statement is a document that publicly traded companies are required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States. The purpose of the proxy statement is to inform shareholders about matters that will be voted on at the company’s annual meeting. Shareholders who are unable to attend the meeting in person can use the proxy statement to vote by proxy, either by mail, phone, or online.5.

Additionally, while research regarding the ways in which religious organizations practice public relations is growing, this area of public relations scholarship is still in its infancy with a limited understanding regarding the practice of public relations by religious organizations and the outcomes of their efforts. Thus, to contribute to gaps in public relations theorizing on relationship management and engagement, and gaps in the literature on religious organization and stakeholders, this study interviewed 28 megachurch communication employees to assess their relational engagement strategies and goals. Findings reveal that religious organizations encourage the formation of six relationships between five entities through their public relations efforts. This study proposes the Devotional-Promotional Relational Engagement Model as a new model of relational engagement, which highlights the six strategic relationships organizations cultivate.KEYWORDS: Engagementintra-stakeholder relationshipsorganization-public relationshipsrelationship managementreligious organizations AcknowledgementI'd like to acknowledge and thank the Graduate School at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, Thomas Gene Roberts and Jean R.

Thus, all previous research on relationships in the public relations literature, including OPR, is applicable to relational engagement. Again, relational engagement is the repositioning of relationships within an engagement framework, as opposed to an entirely new concept or construct.2. To clarify, an intra-congregational relationship can come first and act as an influential force toward a relationship between the congregant and God. However, participants posit that the relationship with God should come first and take priority over other relationships.3. To clarify, salvation is a term that refers to the “saving” of a person from death and eternal separation from God. Becoming “saved,” or converted to Christianity, occurs when a person believes that Jesus Christ, God’s son, took ownership and punishment of their sin, died as a result of that punishment, was resurrected, and now as a result of Jesus’ actions, the individual can spend eternity in Heaven with God and Jesus.4. While megachurches do benefit from their congregants having a strong relationship with God, or strong friendships within the church, the primary benefit of these relationships rests with the stakeholders themselves.","PeriodicalId":47737,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Relations Research","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135581613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, public relations strategizing, i.e., the doing of strategy, remains a black-box concept in public relations and would benefit from additional approaches to theorizing strategy. This conceptual article draws upon strategy-as-practice, practice theory, and the existentialist notion of human modes of being and articulates a theoretical framework describing four modes of strategizing in public relations: (1) absorbed strategizing, (2) deliberate strategizing, (3) deliberative strategizing and (4) abstract strategizing. The first three modes are conceptualized as immersed modes of strategizing in everyday activities, while the fourth is conceptualized as a detached mode of strategizing in strategic planning activities. Then, it draws upon Mintzberg and Waters’ (1984) five types of strategy and situates the four modes of public relations strategizing in strategy formation and realization. The article thereby contributes to theorizing strategy and strategizing in public relations by offering researchers a theoretical framework for researching strategizing in public relations.","PeriodicalId":47737,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Relations Research","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136313297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
