By proposing an inclusive leadership theoretical model, we explored the roles of inclusive leadership in fostering an organization’s diversity climate and facilitating its practice of participative leadership in empowering women in public relations to reach their full potential in leadership advancement. Moreover, our results confirmed both direct and indirect impacts inclusive leadership could have on women’s perceptions of continued career growth opportunities. Our findings provide theoretical implications and practical solutions to address women’s leadership challenges through an inclusive leadership lens.","PeriodicalId":47737,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Relations Research","volume":"33 1","pages":"150 - 167"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46760886","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}

{"title":"Editor’s essay: Making mentors","authors":"B. Sha","doi":"10.1080/1062726X.2021.2015972","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1062726X.2021.2015972","url":null,"abstract":"Sometimes, when one gets to a certain age or stage in life, some people want to know the history behind the present, perhaps to glean insights for their own evolution, or possibly to craft conjectures on the possible evolutions of others. As I reflect on my own journey into a more-authentic self, I think about how hard I’ve worked, how lucky I’ve been to have strong family and employer support, and how grateful I feel to all my mentors. Without question, no one gets to where they are without lots of help from lots of people. By definition, a mentor is someone who has more experience than you, that you trust to give you advice. In my personal and professional lives, I’ve been the recipient of tons and tons of advice, usually from people with more experience (or at least more opinions) than myself in a given area. Typically, the advice is well intentioned, and very often, the input is helpful. Sometimes, I’m also asked for advice or to be a mentor to others, which can be tricky. Because, really, a person can only become someone’s mentor when they are permitted to do so, that is, when a mentor’s advice is sincerely requested, genuinely received and intentionally reflected on. In other words, the power to transform an advice-giver into a mentor lies with the advice-receiver. The mentee makes the transformation happen, perhaps by acting on the advice, or by giving it serious consideration, or even just by absorbing it into their ways of thinking, seeing, or being. Some of my own mentors have never actually given me advice, per se. They just are who they are, and I’ve grown in myself simply from observing them. Sometimes, these “passive mentors,” as I like to think of them, are positional or reputational leaders in the academic discipline, or at my institution, or within my myriad communities of identity, affection, or commitment. Sometimes, they are my peers in life or learning. And sometimes they are travelers on paths I may have already taken, but to which they’ve brought their own insights and wisdom. The bottom line is that my mentors (and yours) are everywhere. Any one of us can be someone’s mentor, either by proactively looking out for them, by responsively and responsibly advising them, or even just by passively modeling for them something they might be needing or seeking in the moment – the latter simply by being our full, whole selves. Thank you to all my mentors, those from my past, those in my present, and those still to be revealed in my future, with special appreciation for those mentors who have graciously permitted me to continue evolving past the point where they felt their advice would be helpful. Because of you – all of y’all – I continue on that lifelong journey of becoming (cf. Hall, 1994).","PeriodicalId":47737,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Relations Research","volume":"33 1","pages":"59 - 62"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2021-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49225257","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}

{"title":"Toward a Holistic Approach for Nuanced Public Segmentation: Social Vigilantism and the Situational Theory of Problem Solving (STOPS)","authors":"Soojin Roh, Hyunkyung Oh","doi":"10.1080/1062726X.2021.2007929","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1062726X.2021.2007929","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT This study investigated a dynamic interplay between social vigilantism (SV) – the extent to which one believes in his/her opinion superiority and the tendency to preach to others – and situational variables from the STOPS model. We explored how the two, separately and together, impacted publics’ active communicative action for problem-solving (active CAPS), as well as participation intent for an environmental corporate social responsibility (CSR) campaign. Structural equation modeling results demonstrated that problem and involvement recognitions motivated people to communicate about the given issue, while constraint recognition decreased the motivation. SV was a strong driving force for people to actively communicate about a given issue; additionally, as a moderator, SV amplified the positive effect of involvement recognition on situational motivation and that of referent criterion on active communicative engagement. SV, however, was a negative predictor of participation intent in the environmental CSR campaign. This study extends our understanding of segmentation of publics by taking a synthetic approach and furthers our knowledge in delineating more-nuanced subgroups in active publics.","PeriodicalId":47737,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Relations Research","volume":"33 1","pages":"106 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2021-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48755479","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}

Based on in-depth interviews (N = 25) with public relations executives in the United Arab Emirates, our findings imply that companies engage in corporate diplomacy to align with governmental demands while simultaneously attempting to meet internal expectations originating from employees and corporate values. The interviews resulted in the identification and description of five corporate diplomacy modes and a model describing corporate diplomacy-legitimacy, highlighting the role played by relationship cultivation and culture in gaining organizational legitimacy through corporate diplomacy. Consequently, our study provides a framework to explain the societal role of public relations in building organizational legitimacy through relationship cultivation.","PeriodicalId":47737,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Relations Research","volume":"33 1","pages":"86 - 105"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2021-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43938330","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}

First, this study sought to validate the conceptualization and operationalization of lacuna publics, conceptulized as knowledge-deficient, extreme pro- and/or anti-issue activists about controversial social issues. Second, this study advanced a typology of disinformation-susceptible publics, classifying individuals into disinformation-immune, disinformation-vulnerable, disinformation-receptive, and disinformation-amplifying publics based on their issue-specific motivation, attitudes, and knowledge deficiency. In doing so, this study helps refocus scholarly attention on disinformation campaigns and how to possibly mitigate their effects. Surveys were conducted among American adults to understand lacuna publics’ information behaviors compared to those of non-lacuna publics, and to identify individuals who comprise the four disinformation-susceptible publics conceptualized in this study.

{"title":"A theory of corporate responsibility to race (CRR): communication and racial justice in public relations","authors":"Nneka Logan","doi":"10.1080/1062726X.2021.1881898","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1062726X.2021.1881898","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT This article introduces the theory of the corporate responsibility to race (CRR). It holds that corporations should communicate in ways that advocate for racial justice, attempt to improve race relations, and support achieving a more equitable and harmonious society. Corporations have this responsibility to race because they have historically perpetuated and profited from racial oppression, making corporations contributors to, and benefactors of, racial injustice. However, recently corporations have been using their platforms to speak against racial injustice in an effort to improve race relations. CRR theory provides a new way to readily identify, understand, contextualize, theorize and analyze corporate communication about race. Although CRR emerges from a Unites States perspective, and as a public relations concept, it has global applications in any place where racial difference leads to oppression, and it has analytical value in any field where organizational resources can be leveraged to fight oppression.","PeriodicalId":47737,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Relations Research","volume":"33 1","pages":"6 - 22"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1062726X.2021.1881898","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49494111","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}

While much scholarly attention has been paid to the ways in which news media both represent and misrepresent U.S. Muslims through the ways stories are framed, much less work has been devoted to Muslim self-framing in public discourse, and its implications for public relations theory. To address this gap in understanding the ways some Muslim Americans use public relations as a tool of self-representation, this study examines more than 700 press releases issued by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) during the first year of the Donald Trump presidency. Using Moral Foundations Theory to operationalize the moral evaluations present in the frames, this study found four strategic frames: Islamophobia reactions, legal responses, public sphere engagement, and interfaith solidarity. It also examines the calls to action employed in the press releases. The findings show that the press release as a public relations tactic served as a critical venue for emphasizing individual rights and participation in public life through the deployment of moral language.","PeriodicalId":47737,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Relations Research","volume":"33 1","pages":"39 - 57"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1062726X.2021.1944156","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46531318","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}
