Beyond the single business: Factors that predict corporate social advocacy’s norm-setting and norm-performance potential
Purpose Organizations increasingly engage in corporate social advocacy (CSA), which can be understood as perceived organizational norm entrepreneurship. Perceived norm entrepreneurship may foster new societal norms, in this case related to public evaluations of organizations. This study aims to focus on factors explaining (a) when the general public feels that competitors should make similar CSA efforts too (norm-setting potential) and (b) when C…
‘Elite Emulation’ and the Regulation of Women in Deuteronomy
The Hebrew Bible, with its strident championing of the poor, the orphan and the widow, its passionate advocacy of justice and its striking accounts of the liberation of the former slaves from Egypt, has held the Jewish people in its thrall for over two thousand years. Yet do these ideals actually extend to, or even include women, within its expressions of divine law? This article will examine two intriguing provisions (Deuteronomy 21:10–14 and 25…
Exploring and assessing issue communication – issue communication practices and consequences of issue response strategies for organizational reputation and legitimacy
Purpose Although issue management has received ample attention, changes in the media landscape and increased societal scrutiny are currently challenging organizations’ communicative handling of issues. This raises the question of how communication professionals currently perceive and communicatively deal with issues, and what impact issue response strategies have when organizations are addressed regarding their involvement in an issue. Design/met…
The Cambridge Companion to Law in the Hebrew Bible
This Companion offers a comprehensive overview of the history, nature, and legacy of biblical law. Examining the debates that swirl around the nature of biblical law, it explores its historical context, the significance of its rules, and its influence on early Judaism and Christianity. The volume also interrogates key questions: Were the rules intended to function as ancient Israel's statutory law? Is there evidence to indicate that they served a…
Purposes and tensions in organising knowledge: Trajectories of student evaluations in two research universities
Student evaluations of courses and teaching (SETs) are used for various purposes, are omnipresent in academic teaching, and cause tensions within universities.Their analytical power is contested, and specific uses are problematised for negative effects on lecturers and academic relationships.This interpretive interview study addresses how academic actors navigate tensions and purposes, and how they use, shape and deliberate on student evaluations…
Responding to online complaints in webcare by public organizations: The impact on continuance intention and reputation
Purpose Since public sector organizations provide services to citizens but struggle with poor perceptions of their functioning, it is valuable to examine how their online responses to complaints on social media could impact their reputation. Yet, surprisingly little is known about effects of public organizations' webcare. Therefore, this study assesses the impact of the webcare's tone, response strategy and user's involvement on participants’ con…
Exploring Media-Covered Accountability of Public Agencies
Although journalism and media coverage are known to induce, inform, and affect public accountability processes, little is known about media-covered accountability. This study therefore explores accountability processes of Danish and Flemish agencies as subjects of the news. Drawing on news construction literature, our quantitative content analysis of newspaper coverage ( N = 13,540) focuses on the presence of accountability processes in media cov…
Women in Deuteronomy
The integrity of the family unit, with its focus on patriarchal succession and genealogical continuity, was paramount in all strata of the Hebrew Bible. Despite acute fears of the seductive dangers of women, this did not prevent Deuteronomy maximizing a man’s acceptable sexual relationships, to include taking foreign captives as wives—in defiance of its integral prohibition of intermarriage. Nor did its laws mitigate the abuse of women, whose exc…
Hashtag activism and the configuration of counterpublics: Dutch animal welfare debates on Twitter
Social media platforms provide major opportunities for online activism and the emergence of digital counterpublics. Research on counterpublics has focused on actors and their narrative strategies aiming at deconstructing dominant discourses. Less attention has been paid to how the interplay between actors and platform-specific functions affects the configurations and therewith also the success of digital counterpublics. Existing studies mainly re…

Playing language games: Higher education quality dynamics in Dutch national policies since 1985
Higher education quality is a vague, ambiguous, multiple, and essentially contested concept. Quality’s contested character involves endless disputes about its proper use which makes it problematic to handle in governmental policies. Wittgenstein’s notion of language games is used to understand how, through time, higher education quality is enacted in Dutch governmental policy texts, and how its uses are related to each other. The analysis depicts…
Mass Media Orientation and External Communication Strategies: Exploring Organisational Differences
This study assesses relationships between mass media orientations of communication professionals in organisations and their external communication strategies. We assume that mass media orientations within an organisation may affect an organisation’s external communication strategies of bridging and buffering. A survey among 150 Dutch communication professionals working for both for-profit and public organisations as well as NPOs was conducted. Ou…

Media and public accountability: Typology and Exploration
The role of the media in public accountability has often been discussed. This is especially the case for public sector organisations, whose accountability relations have changed in the shift from government to governance. In this paper, we develop a typology of the ways mass media are involved in public accountability processes. Media can stimulate actors to reflect on their behaviour, trigger formal accountability by reporting on the behaviour o…
Natural Law, Poetic Justice and the Talionic Formulation
Significant elements of natural law are reflected in the statements of corporal punishment presented in biblical law. In relation to the “eye for eye” clause from the talionic formulation, it is suggested that acts of blinding were perceived also as a form of punishment of an offending organ and can, therefore, be classified as examples of “instrumental talion.” This is distinct from measures which focus on the character of the sinner, or the nat…
