Abstract

Kriz iletişimi üzerine yapılan çok fazla akademik çalışma vardır ve bu çalışmaların sayısı sürekli artmaktadır. Ancak, Türkiye’de kriz iletişimi üzerine yapılan çalışmaların büyük bir bölümü teoriktir ve klasik vaka çalışmalarını içermektedir. Bu çalışmada ise kriz iletişimi üzerine yarı deneysel bir araştırma yapılarak kurumsal itibar algısının kriz iletişimi stratejileri üzerindeki etkisi ölçülmüştür. Araştırma kapsamında Türkiye’deki motorlu araç markaları üzerine farklı kurumsal itibar algısına sahip olan 500 kullanıcı üzerine yarı deneysel bir araştırma yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, olumlu kurumsal itibar algısının kuruluşun suçlanma derecesini düşürdüğü bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, kurumsal itibarın verilen mesajlara olan inandırıcılığı ve güveni etkilediği sonucu bulunmuştur. Ancak, kriz öncesi düşünceler her ne olursa olsun, kurumsal itibar algısının kuruluşun krizdeki sorumluluğunu azaltmadığı ve hedef kitlelerin düşüncelerini etkilemediği bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Çünkü araştırma sonucuna göre, kurumsal itibar algısı fark etmeksizin, krizde sorumluluk alınmaması durumu suçlanma derecesini arttırmış, krizin zarar olduğu nedenleri azaltmaya yönelik verilen mesajlar ise etkili bulunmuştur.
