| Summary: | This thesis introduces and tests a new framework to identify the factors of corporate
reputation and to explicate the relationship between corporate reputation and financial
performance. The framework is built on the tenets of (1) Influences of the Malaysian context
to identify the factors of corporate reputation and (2) Model of reputation-financial
performance dynamics to explicate the relationship between corporate reputation and
financial performance. Examination of these relationships, relationships between corporate
reputation with its factors and with prior and current financial performance, provides a basis
for delineating the process by which corporate reputation potentially generates superior
financial performance for a company.
These issues were explored in three studies (Study 1, 2, and 3) by surveying the stakeholders’
evaluation of the companies’ reputation and performance. Study 1 was a qualitative research
to identify the factors of corporate reputation within the Malaysian context. These results
were then used to conduct an exploratory quantitative study (Study 2) and a confirmatory
factor analysis (Study 3) to determine the dimensionality of the factors of corporate
reputation. Several structural models were then produced to test the relationships between
corporate reputation and prior financial performance, as well as, current financial
performance. A more critical structural model test using mediation analysis was also examined to determine the role of corporate reputation in the relationship between prior and
current financial performance. |
