Objective: Internal Marketing shares the institution's strategic vision with the employee, who acts as both a receptor and a disseminator of the Organizational Image, a crucial asset in today's context, especially in the service provision context, such as in a community university. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the perception of Internal Marketing and the Organizational Image perceived by employees of a community university. Design / methodology / approach: Two already validatd scales were used to collect data through an online questionnaire answered by 115 technical-administrative and teaching staff from the main campus of a community university, due to the infrastructure and marketing context to the detriment of other campuses. They were analyzed using the mean and standard deviation of perceptions about the instituition's Internal Marketing and the Organizational Image, and, through structural equation modeling, the relationship between the two thematic constructs. Results: Both constructs, Internal Marketing and Organizational Image, received good evaluations. Although there are areas of attention such as Affective Image, Reward, and Internal Communication, the General Image, Vision, and the Training and Development dimension received excellent ratings, even higher than the evaluation of the original construct itself. Finally, a statistically significant relationship between Internal Marketing and Organizational Image was confirmed, an important contribution to the theory of the two constructs studied, and which provides opportunities for new research exploring moderating or mediating variables of this relationship. Originality/value: This research innovates by adapting and relating two scales - one Likert-type from 0 to 5 points and the other semantic differential scale from 0 to 7 points - already validated, allowing different analyzes depending on the technique used. Furthermore, it relates two constructs - Internal Marketing and Organizational Image - widely explored, but without recent evidence of their relationship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The European University Initiative (EUI) – launched by the European Commission in 2018 has been received with considerable interest from higher education institutions in Europe with hundreds of institutions forming new alliances. While the EUI-initiative in many ways is a continuation of a long history of collaboration across national borders in Europe, the initiative also contains novel elements – not least with respect to the institutional commitments the new alliances are based on. This paper offers new insights into the alliance formation process, and the profiles of European university alliances. Based on a series of qualitative interviews with key persons at alliance level, our findings demonstrate quite complex alliance formation processes where both collective and individual networks of institutions were activated, and where different path-dependencies shaped the membership of the alliances.

Cooperatives are still one of the many solutions offered from the concept of populist economy which was initiated since the time of independence. However, after several years of cooperative existence there are still many cases that have not been successfully handled by the government related to cooperatives that are fraudulent and act criminally against their members. This has made people's trust in cooperatives begin to decline. This study aims to determine the factors that can increase interest in joining members, namely interpersonal skills, organizational image and religiosity. The research method used was structural equation modeling (SEM-PLS) using the Smartpls version 3 application. The results showed that interpersonal skills and organizational image had a significant positive effect on religiosity and intention to join. Furthermore, religiosity mediates the influence between the two independent variables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present-day competitive landscape, the importance of image has increased significantly, whether it is on an individual level, within organizations, or on a larger scale. Image refers to the overall impression that a person holds in their mind regarding a concept, object, person, group, organization, institution, geographical region, or country. This mental representation is shaped by their past experiences and sensations, and it greatly influences the choices individuals make. The research aims to provide a systematic literature review on image research to promote image research. This research was carried out with a systematic review approach. The data of the research were obtained from the image articles published in the field of education in the journals scanned in Web of Science (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI). In the analysis of the data, bibliometric analysis and descriptive analysis technique, one of the content analysis techniques, were used. 48 research articles from 2002 to 2022 were critically reviewed and analyzed by applying a systematic literature review approach. The results showed that image studies were grouped under three themes: concept image, teacher image, and organizational image. The results also revealed what the inputs and outputs of corporate image were. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between teacher's perceptions of organizational image and their organizational happiness. In the research, a relational survey model was adopted. The sample of the research consıst of 250 teachers working in secondary schools in the central district of Giresun province in the academic year of 2021-2022. 'Organizational Image Scale' and 'Organizational Happiness Scale' were used to collect data. The Cronbach Alpha value for the Organizational Image Scale was .92. The Cronbach Alpha value for the Organizational Happiness Scale was .93. Since the research data obtained during the covid-19 pandemic process, online and face to face data collection process was conducted. Independent ttest, ANOVA, correlation and regression analyzes were used to analyze data. The results show that, teachers' perception of organizational image and organizational happiness are at a moderate level. There is a moderately positive and significant relationship between organizational image and happiness (general total). There are positive relationships between the sub-dimensions of organizational image perception, quality, appearance, social, infrastructure and program image, and positive emotions and potential realization sub-dimensions, which are sub-dimensions of organizational happiness. There are negative relationships between quality, appearance, social, infrastructure and program image, which are the sub-dimensions of organizational image perception, and negative emotions, which is the sub-dimension of organizational happiness. At the same time, teachers' organizational image perceptions significantly predict their organizational happiness. It is thought that the results obtained will make important contributions to both the organization and the theory of educational management and its practitioners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The State Railway of Thailand's (SRT) rail passenger ridership has dropped from a peak of 88 million rides in 1994 to less than 23 million in 2022, with the reasons for this collapse being numerous. Therefore, the authors set out to examine how organizational image (OI), service quality (SQ), service motivation (SM), and service satisfaction (SS) affect SRT use decision (SUD) making. From August–October 2022, multiple-stage random sampling was used to select a sample of 1,250 SRT passengers from five regional rail lines and their associated 25 stations. A confirmatory factor analysis goodness-of-fit was used to confirm the model's fit. A structural equation model (SEM) using LISREL 9.10 was then used to analyze the ten hypothesized relationships. The quantitative research used a 5-level questionnaire to measure the study's five constructs and 22 observed variables. The reliability of the items ranged from 0.86 to 0.93. The data analysis included calculating various statistical measures. Results showed that the model's causal variables positively affected passenger SRT use decision, with an R2 of 71%. When ranked by total effect (TE) values, service quality (SQ = 0.89) was viewed by the surveyed passengers as most important, followed by service satisfaction (SS = 0.67), organizational image (OI = 0.63), and service motivation (SM = 0.53). Additionally, all ten hypotheses were supported, with service satisfaction judged the most essential to SRT Use Decisions. The study's novelty is the ever-growing requirement for the SRT to serve as a regional hub in a more extensive East Asian rail and infrastructure strategy. The paper contributes significantly to the academic literature on factors affecting rail transportation use intent.

The purpose of this study was to determine the influences of variables, crisis management, distance education, the organizational image, and student satisfaction on the basic quality conditions in Peruvian universities during the COVID-19 pandemic. A quantitative, nonexperimental explanatory approach with stratified random sampling was used. A questionnaire was applied to 513 students from public and private universities in southern Peru who received distance education during the months of September to November 2022. For the analysis of the results, a structural equation model (SEM). A hierarchical linear regression was carried out to test the hypotheses according to the dimensions studied on the student satisfaction scale. The study findings showed that distance education and student satisfaction had positive impacts on the basic quality conditions, while crisis management and the organizational image had a positive relationship but a smaller effect on the quality of the conditions. We concluded that the applied model allows the causal relationships between variables to be explored and that the results will allow university authorities to generate policies that improve their organizational image and crisis management processes and, at the same time, allow them to better plan their crisis management strategies to achieve better satisfaction within the framework of a sustainable university.

This study aims to analyze the role of leadership in moderating the influence of organizational image and religiosity on interest in joining. The sample was GP Ansor cadres, Pasuruan Regency, totaling 156 respondents, namely the Z generation. Questionnaires were distributed via Google form as direct data collection from respondents. Then the data were analyzed using structural equation modeling partial least squares (SEM-PLS), which was then used to answer the research hypothesis. The results of the study show that organizational and leadership image can directly increase interest in joining. However, religiosity did not succeed in increasing interest in joining. Furthermore, leadership failed to moderate the effect of organizational image and religiosity on interest in joining cadres. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Organizational image, defined as internal members' evaluations of their organization, is a critical managerial issue since it influences employee work attitudes and subsequent performance. While the public administration discipline has observed an increasing scholarly interest in the influence of organizational image on employee engagement, it leaves the potential inter-relationships between two distinctive organizational image dimensions—construed external image (CEI) and perceived organizational identity (POI)—unexplored. We examine the influence of these two organizational images on employee engagement, with an emphasis on both the mediating and moderating role of POI between CEI and employee engagement. Empirical results show that both image dimensions positively influence employee engagement. More importantly, we find that POI acts as a moderator in the CEI–employee engagement relationship, that is, the positive influence of CEI on the outcome depends on the level of POI. Empirical findings imply that public employees treat two dimensions of organizational image differently and weigh POI more than CEI. In particular, the findings suggest that attractive or positive POI may serve as a catalyst to reinforce employee engagement even in the presence of a long-lasting negative external image for public organizations.

This research draws from the psychodynamic perspective of social identity theory to examine the causal effect of mergers and acquisitions involving a mismatch of external images on the sales force. Study 1, a natural longitudinal experiment, shows that a merger with a poorer-image firm immediately dilutes salespeople’s organizational identification (OI), which in turn impairs their performance. As sense makers, salespeople who are more tenured experience stronger OI dilution,whereas those who perceive a high level of social inclusion experience weaker OI dilution. As sense givers, managers who emphasize the firm’s strategic intent in their communication buffer the OI-dilution effect, whereas those who emphasize the firm’s organizational culture aggravate the effect. Study 2, a scenario-based experiment, further demonstrates that the OI-dilution effect is stronger than the OI-enhancement effect from merging with a better-image firm. Furthermore, both studies confirm that the adverse effect of mergers and acquisitions that involve a mismatch of external image stems from image uncertainty rather than job uncertainty.

Objective: The present study aims to investigate the mediating role of organizational image in the relationship between organizational identity and academic optimism in Islamic schools in Tehran. Method: The study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive and correlational in terms of method. The statistical population includes all of 270 teachers of Islamic primary schools in Tehran. The sample size was 159 using Krejcie and Morgan (1970) table. Simple random sampling method was used to select the statistical sample. In order to collect the data and information required in this study, the Academic Optimism Questionnaire of Beard, (and Hoy, and Woolfolk Hoy, 2010), the Organizational Identification Questionnaire of Mael and Ashforth (1992) and the researcher-made organizational image questionnaire were used. The reliability of them was 0.85, 0.81 and 0.79, respectively. Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data. Findings: The Findings showed that there was a relationship between organizational identity and academic optimism, between organizational identity and organizational image, and between organizational image and academic optimism. Furthermore, the findings showed that there was a relationship between organizational identity by the mediating role of organizational image, and academic optimism. Conclusion: Academic optimism is one of the signs of success in schools, and what will improve this important component in Islamic schools is paying attention to the organizational identity and organizational image of Islamic schools. The beneficiaries’ improper understanding of the organizational identity and organizational image of Islamic schools and its capacities will affect the quality of education and the overall performance of these schools

Impression management (IM), as planned activities aimed at self-presentation adequate for the profession, have become the domain of many specialist disciplines. This phenomenon also applies to the academic community. Lecturers consciously work to impress students and each other to raise evaluation rates and their personal needs. The world of science is subject to cultural laws regarding achievement, especially in the face of new technologies through either portals for scientists or online communication to recipients of their knowledge, i.e., students. This article aims to analyze the impression management of academic lecturers as as they are perceived by students and in the opinions of the lecturers themselves. We posed a research problem concerning the determinants of impression management among students and in the opinions of faculty scholars. The literature review indicated three IM indicators by scholars: scientific prestige, image creation, and scientist image. Literature review and online surveys were used to collect the data. The results point to the impression a scientist makes as being related to scientific prestige (publications, expert activities, scientific achievements). It turned out that prestige is significantly, though moderately, positively associated with image creation (r = 0.506; p < 0.001) and poorly positively associated with the image of the researcher (r = 0.311; p < 0.001). On the other hand, image creation is moderately positively associated with the image of the researcher (r = 0.493; p < 0.001). A positive relationship between variables means that the greater the image of a scientist and the better the creation of an image, the higher the rating of his or her prestige.

Purpose: Every organization’s commitment to its social responsibilities is a way to form a positive mental image among its audience that can affect their attitude towards using of the organization’s services. In the present era, despite the various media with diverse capabilities in the field of providing and disseminating of information, the field of information is experiencing intense competition, and this competition has affected the survival of libraries as a cultural institution with a long history. Therefore, public libraries need to take on social responsibilities to ensure their survival. Accordingly, the present study seeks to determine the impact of users’ perceptions of social responsibility on usage of public library services and resources usage through the perceived organizational image. Method: This is an applied research that was conducted by using a survey-correlation method with a causal approach. The study population consisted of 119,409 members of Khuzestan public libraries, 383 samples of whom were selected by stratified sampling. Data were collected using a 40-item questionnaire in a five-point Likert scale based on the previous studies such as Becker-Olsen, Cudmore and Hill (2006) and Perez and Torres (2017) and a researcher-made one based on Kamali (2019) research for the usage rate section. The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed using the composite reliability coefficient of Dillon-Goldstein (CR) average variance extracted (AVE) and Cronbach’s alpha and its divergent validity was determined by the HTMT matrix method and the average variance extracted (AVE) measure. After distributing the questionnaires, 345 items (return rate = 90%) were returned and then the data analysis was performed using SPSS25 and Smart-PLS3 software. Findings: The results showed that the level of research variables is higher than the theoretical average (3), which is relatively desirable (mean of the users’ perception of social responsibility = 4.02, mean of use services and resources = 3.4, and mean of the perceived organizational image = 3.89). Furthermore, the impact of users’ perception of social responsibility on the usage of public library services and resources (T-Value = 2.945) and perceived organizational image (T-Value = 25.407) is significant at a lower level than 0.05. Originality/value: The findings of the study showed that the more users understand the social responsibility of public libraries, the more they use the services and information resources of libraries. In addition, the adherence of libraries to social responsibility also led to the formation of a constructive and positive image. For this reason, the studied variables can be taken into account by policy makers and managers in developing organizational strategies.

In the present study, the purpose was to determine the direct and indirect effects of the crisis management skills and distance education practices of universities on student satisfaction and organizational image in the continuing Coronavirus pandemic. To conduct the study, a questionnaire was applied to 467 students who had to receive compulsory distance education at TRNC universities during the pandemic process. The relation levels between the crisis management and distance education practices of universities, corporate image, student satisfaction, and direct and indirect effects between the variables, were designed with a structural equation modeling by forming hypotheses according to the sub-dimensions of the student satisfaction scale. The findings of the study showed that as the crisis management of the university administrations in the pandemic process was perceived positively by the students, their organizational image and satisfaction increased. However, it was detected that there was a lower level of relationship between attitudes towards distance learning and crisis management, and that this had a limited effect on student satisfaction. It was concluded that the structural equation model can be used to explain the causal relationship between the variables. The study also showed that the determinants of organizational image and student satisfaction in education must be understood better and that universities must review their crisis management and distance education practices and develop new service plans.

The COVID-19 pandemic has serious economic consequences, such as rising unemployment, and these consequences can be managed by sustaining economic activities by spurring the creation of new businesses. In this study, we examine the current state of business ethics in China, as well as the challenges, success factors, and obstacles in implementing such ethics in order to improve organizational development and business management in China. Cross-sectional data and quantitative survey were collected from 288 SMEs in China. According to structural equation modeling results, herd behavior and endowment effect have a strong relationship with business resilience. Additionally, this study found that altruism has an optimistic correlation with business resilience, and it has positively mediated China’s small business irrational behavior. The findings of this study suggest that business ethics and irrationality in SMEs can be promoted using this study’s model of SMEs, which may provide practical guidelines or implications for Chinese SMEs. Based on the findings from this study, it is recommended that business ethics can be incorporated into policies and practices of SME owners and entrepreneurs whose communities, stakeholders, and employees are committed to moral values such as decent governance and social corporate responsibilities.

This paper explores whether and how social activists’ challenges affect politicians’ willingness to associate with targeted firms. We study the effect of public protest on corporate political activity using a unique database that allows us to analyze empirically the impact of social movement boycotts on three proxies for associations with political stakeholders: the proportion of campaign contributions that are rejected, the number of times a firm is invited to give testimony in congressional hearings, and the number of government procurement contracts awarded to a firm. We show that boycotts lead to significant increases in the proportion of refunded contributions, as well as decreases in invited congressional appearances and awarded government contracts. These results highlight the importance of considering how a firm’s sociopolitical environment shapes the receptivity of critical non-market stakeholders. We supplement this analysis by drawing from social movement theory to extrapolate and test three key mechanisms that moderate the extent to which activists’ challenges effectively disrupt corporate political activity: the media attention a boycott attracts, the political salience of the contested issue, and the status of the targeted firm.

This research aims to investigate the relationship between organizational image and student loyalty within the scope of resource-based theory. Organizational image were examined in two aspects: tangible (sports image, general outlook and physical infrastructure image, entertainment and accommodation-food image) and intangible (quality and program image, social atmosphere image). Student loyalty was conceptualized as organizational identification, determination and selfcommitment. Data were obtained from 326 university students by using convenience sampling method. This study showed that quality and program image positively affects all dimensions of student loyalty. Besides, social atmosphere image positively affects organizational identification and determination dimensions of student loyalty. The results indicated that intangible aspect of organizational image affects student loyalty positively. In that sense, it was suggested that intangible aspect of organizational image might provide competitive advantage to universities by enhancing student loyalty within the scope of resource-based theory.

Background and Objective: A patient’s mental image of quality of health services can greatly form his/her overall judgment of the organizations providing these services. This study aims to analyze the effects of organizational learning and total quality management on the organizational image through the mediating role of patient safety culture in the health services sector. Methodology: This is a correlational descriptive study, in which the employees of hospitals were selected as the statistical population to analyze three variables, namely total quality management, organizational learning, and patient safety culture. Regarding the organizational image variable, the statistical population included the patients who visited the selected hospitals within a six-month period. Finally, the simple random sampling technique was employed to select 240 individuals from both groups. Standard questionnaires were then used for data collection; the reliability and validity of questionnaires were checked through Cronbach’s alpha, composite reliability, convergent validity, and divergent validity. The resultant data were analyzed in SPSS and SmartPLS. Findings: Organizational learning had positive effects on total quality management, patient safety culture, and organizational image. Moreover, total quality management had positive, significant effects on patient safety culture and organizational image. The Sobel test was utilized to determine the effect of the mediating variable; the results confirmed the mediating role of patient safety culture. Therefore, patient safety culture acted as a mediating variable in the relationship between organizational learning and total quality management by having a positive, significant effect on organizational image. Conclusion: Managers of organizations that provide health services can improve organizational image in the minds of patients through the effective implementation of total quality management plans and improvement of organizational learning.

The aim of this research is to contrast an explanatory model of how the perceived organizational image of a university center (faculty) influences its students' loyalty. The data is obtained from a structured survey of students in Spain, obtaining a sample of 224 valid questionnaires. The methodology used is exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to validate the measurement scales and the estimation of the model is carried out by applying Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that organizational image is the key variable to influence students' decision to continue taking new courses at the center, as well as to recommend it to other people. It is observed that the greater students' positive perception of the organizational image is, the greater their satisfaction with the center will be, which results in a higher level of loyalty to the center in which they study. However, their identification levels with the center is not a relevant variable in the process of increasing loyalty.

Organizations need the outside world to survive. The positive signals they reflect to the outside world are seen as important for organizations to be preferred. For this reason, the organizations pay attention to their external appearance. In the literature related to these external appearances, we come across the concepts of organizational prestige, organizational image, organizational identity and organizational reputation. However, there was no theoretical consistency in the use of the concepts of organizational prestige, organizational image, organizational identity and organizational reputation in the organizational literature; their use interchangeably or synonymously draws attention. For this reason, the purpose of this study is determined as to form the theoretical framework of these concepts used in the organization literature and to guide researchers to correct the mistakes in the definitions or use of these concepts. In this research, terminological definitions about the concepts of organizational respectability, organizational image, organizational identity and organizational reputation, synthesizing the previous studies and transferring them are included. In this way, it is aimed to prevent the wrong or substitute uses in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The organization, which understood its audience well, showed good results in an emergency caused by the virus pandemic with COVID 19. In fact many organizations immediately failed to reorganize, make significant decisions in creating a new organizational identity, and successfully present its new digital organizational identity in front of the audience. The research done for the needs of this paper provides an analysis of the situation in terms of creating a new organizational identity, new organizational image and the willingness of organizations to respond qualitatively to the challenge of the new digital way of managing organizations. The positive and negative aspects of the digitalization of organizations are also presented and the extent to which human resources are willing to accept the new way of working is calculated. The question is summarized whether they would apply that way in the future if they were allowed to make a choice between the classic way of working, with a physical presence in organizations or the new online work. Research has shown that there is definitely a need for a new way of managing organizations, in a specific so-called crisis period that no one but epidemiologists could have guessed would create a need of quarantine and social distance. It is this new situation that has required companies to be managed in a very different way than the classic one. In such a situation, it is necessary for the managers to monitor the situation with great concentration and to create an organizational climate that will respond positively to the new reality. Creating a new identity for online reality creates a new online image among the public that proved to be effective in this time period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Imaging is a new topic that has attracted the attention of many universities and institutions of higher education.Increased competition among universities over student recruitment has forced them to create a good image of their unique characteristics. This research was conducted with the aim of designing the organizational imaging model of universities and institutions of higher education with a structural-interpretation approach at Allameh Tabataba'i University.The research method was structural-interpretive modelingand self-efficacy matrix questionnaire was used with simple random sampling. In the first stage, the researcher used the method of analyzing the subject matter of the organization's corporate imaging through the method of analyzing the network. In the second phase by using the ISM method and the MICMAC analysis, the relations between the themes including educational activities, creativity and innovation, environmental factors, identity Finding and leveling the communications, research activities, organizational climate, facilities and services, technology, reputation, physical environment and human capital were found and leveled. Ultimately the final model of the research was drawn.

Little is known about the efficacy of many of the newer forms of online recruitment. Using a quasi-experimental design, we tested the impact of individual exposure to corporate recruitment websites and Facebook on perceptions of organizational familiarity and organizational image over time. Most interestingly, we found evidence of a curvilinear or non-linear relationship between frequency of exposure to organizational communications and perceptions of organizational familiarity across time. Implications of our findings for HR theory and practice are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study is to determine the activities of the employees in the sense of social welfare, ie the extent to which they fulfill their social responsibilities, and to determine how they think about the image of their organizations. The data of the study were collected through a questionnaire applied on 361 employees in 19 organizations operating in Kütahya 1st Organized Industrial Zone. As a result of the analyzes, all 7 main hypotheses and 8 of 21 sub-hypotheses were accepted as the hypotheses of the study. As a result of the Correlation Analysis, significant relationships were found between social welfares-organizational image and social responsibility-organizational image. As a result of the Regression Analysis, it was seen that social welfares and social responsibility factors significantly affected the organizational image. In the Difference Tests, significant differences were found between participants' perceptions according to age, gender, educational level, occupational class, total working time and position variables.
