Crises and Civility
Social media can play an important role during and after natural disasters and crises. Officials, politicians, and citizens use platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to share important information as well as their personal knowledge about an event. Yet, we know very little about how individuals use social media during crises. Specifically, do individuals use social media to share the information they have about an event and to provid…

From “thank god for helping this person” to “libtards really jumped the shark”: Opinion leaders and (in)civility in the wake of school shootings
Drawing on a qualitative analysis of 5996 tweets and 480 mainstream news stories about the Florida State University (FSU) and the Ohio State University (OSU) shootings, we examine who emerges as opinion leaders during crises, the kinds of narratives they help construct about school shootings, and the relative civility of these narratives. We find that the opinion leaders who emerge after a crisis are assumed to have local knowledge about the inci…
Global Banks as Global Sustainability Regulators?: The Equator Principles

A small number of these banks have started to extend these principles of respon…
Putting the S back in corporate social responsibility: A multilevel theory of social change in organizations
We provide a multilevel theoretical model to understand why business organizations are increasingly engaging in corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and thereby exhibiting the potential to exert positive social change. Our model integrates theories of organizational justice, corporate governance, and varieties of capitalism to argue that organizations are pressured to engage in CSR by many different actors, each driven by instrumenta…
Employee reactions to corporate social responsibility: An organizational justice framework
We seek to bridge the macro concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) with micro research in organizational justice. A theoretical model is presented whereby employees' perceptions of CSR impact their subsequent emotions, attitudes, and behaviors, mediated by instrumental, relational, and deontic motives/needs, as well as moderated by organizations' social accounts.
