Abstract and Keywords
This article reports a behavioural theory of reputation repair with a focus on the behavioural mechanisms underlying an organisation's response to a reputation-damaging event. The reputation repair model views reputation repair as a process of problem solving, consisting of three steps: problem recognition, search for solutions and implementation of solutions. Both an organisation's successful reputation repair and an ideal research program on reputation repair must cover both the issues of repairing or reviving the stakeholders' perceptions of the organisation by protecting these stakeholders from the harm of the reputation-damaging event, and determining the root causes and restructuring or reorganising the organisation's behaviour and position to prevent the recurrence of similar events. Managing the stakeholders' perceptions of the organisation can serve as a key supplement to the substantive reputation repair process and as a crucial part of an organisation's successful reputation repair.
Keywords: reputation repair, behavioural theory, reputation repair model, problem recognition, organisation, stakeholders' perceptions, reputation-damaging event
