Abstract

In this study we identify the key components of employee satisfaction and level of commitment to their jobs using the theoretical framework of corporate reputation theory. Recent studies in talent management have analyzed satisfaction and consider 80% to be a high number. However, this study looks not only at satisfaction, but also employee commitment. According to theory of reputation, companies need to have employees that are both satisfied and committed.

Abstract

The generation of trust is a direct consequence of the assumption of social responsibility criteria in corporate governance. The ability to generate confidence can be measured through indicators. This article focuses on television entertainment programs broadcast in Spain. Based on a review of the academic and professional literature and the initiatives developed internationally, an integrated protocol of indicators is proposed to measure the generation of confidence of the consumer in these programs. The validation of this protocol, as well as the weight attributed to each of the indicators included in it, has been obtained through consultation with expert members from each one of the different stakeholders of the audiovisual value chain, following the Delphi method.

Abstract

Democracy is considered to be the ideal foundation of societies today. In a democratic society, news media play a highly relevant role as avenues by which public and political powers can interact with society and facilitate civic participation. The public’s perception of the news media’s reputation is a crucial factor for enhancing trust and citizen engagement. This article presents a study of the reputation of the media (paper press, digital press, radio and television) in ten European countries: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. A quantitative method was applied to the results of a survey conducted to determine the reputation of news media among a sample of the informed population in those countries (1,000 residents of legal age who used media at least two or three times a week). The concept of reputation is thereby characterized in its association with the media, identifying its integrating attributes and assessing its incidence in each type of medium. The results indicate that, although television is the most widely used medium, the printed press enjoys a higher reputation in most of the countries studied, being seen as having the attributes of credibility and informative rigor. This study provides a detailed analysis of the scores given to media reputation attributes in the considered countries. It also offers a ranking of the media with the highest reputation in the countries examined, as well as a description of the reputational position of each medium.
