Fostering strategic function of public relations corporate - communication in corporate culture practices

Background: Public relations and Culture are intertwined. Societal and corporate Culture influences public relations practices. Conversely, the existence of public relations influences organizational cultural practices and societal Culture. Regrettably, the human resource department has a more dominant role in corporate culture practices than the public relations department. It is mainly related to internalizing organizational values, while the public relations department supports the internalization program through internal corporate communication channels. Purpose: This paper examines public relations function in corporate culture practices based on stories and opinions from Indonesian communication practitioners. It focuses on three main research questions, first how and what the impacts of the existence of public relations – corporate communication to the development of corporate Culture; Second, what the functions of public relations are – corporate communication to support the building and changing corporate Culture; and third what factors influence the strategic function of public relations - corporate communication in corporate culture practice. Methods: This study employs qualitative methods through semi-structured interviews with public relations/corporate communication professionals working at different corporations and organizations. Results: Based on thematic analysis, the empirical findings revealed that cascading organizational values is still part of the human resource department’s primary job, while corporate communication is essential to echoing the key message. Determining the appropriate communication channels and corporate language is critical to ease misunderstandings amongst corporate members. Finally, the digital business environment frequently invites hostile situations, and therefore strong leadership and agile organization can preserve business sustainability. Conclusion: The influence of public relations is essential to orchestrate various internal communication channels. The agile organization provides ease of organizational bureaucracy in corporate culture practices. Implications: This initial finding contributes to the field of public relations – corporate communication to provide a balanced perspective from Indonesian practitioners.

Bibliometric analysis and network mapping of the scientific literature on the influence of public relations on well-being and happiness

Managing employees’ happiness and well-being as a business strategy offers positive outcomes for companies, as has been widely studied in the scientific literature. In the field of public relations, published studies address these benefits for individuals and collectively, both for the employees themselves (Pérez, 2020) and for the organisation for which they work, whether intangible or tangible (Castro-Martínez and Díaz-Morilla, 2020; Sidney et al., 2017). However, the function of promoting a good working environment is not always attended to in the workplace, nor is it always exclusive to a specific area (Bowen, 2008). In addition to a systematic documentary review, the Web of Science database is used for a bibliometric study and network mapping of the scientific literature, from which articles are extracted for analysis using different bibliographic searches. Based on the information obtained, VOSviewer software is used for the analysis of bibliometric networks by authorship, citation and co-occurrence of keywords in scientific publications. The number of articles published on the management of happiness and wellbeing in organisations as part of their public relations has increased significantly over the last decade, although there has been a notable change in this growth since 2021. According to the research, corporate social responsibility programmes are increasingly considering these aspects as part of their organisational strategy, and departments such as human resources are taking on a greater role in generating a good working environment. This study provides an overview of the international production of scientific publications on the subject of happiness management and organisational well-being from the point of view of public relations. It shows the evolution of scientific activity in terms of the number of works published by area of knowledge and the current trends in terms of authorship, subject matter and repercussion in the scientific field.

The Role of Public Relations and Mass Media in Influencing Public Attitudes to Genetically Modified (GM) and Organic Foods

Purpose: To investigate the role of public relations and mass media as an influence on public attitudes about GM and organic foods. Design/Methodology: The study involved a comprehensive analysis of four prominent UK newspaper articles, which discussed the topic of GM and organic foods. Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) were carried out with specialists in different areas of interest regarding the topic of GM and organic foods. Public attitudes and knowledge of GM and organic foods were explored by conducting Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and reviewing relevant literature from two existing studies in 2009 and 2010. Originality/Value: This study will establish a balanced inquiry into the role of public relations and mass media when it comes to explaining GM and organic foods to the public. Hence, the study offers empirical evidence derived from credible studies as well as a rigorous analysis alongside the significant insight and knowledge of key figures in the fields of science, public relations, media, and journalism, and that of common UK folk. Findings: This study found that while public knowledge of GM and organic foods varied, there was no doubt about the influence of public relations on the journalism industry. Interestingly, newspapers’ influence on public attitudes toward GM and organic foods was not strong. Limitations: The main limitations within this study were sample size related to FGDs. Ideally, a much larger number of participants would be helpful in supporting the hypothesis of this study.

PUBLIC RELATIONS PROFESSIONALS’ PERCEPTION OF CONFLICT MANAGEMENT AS A MANAGEMENT FUNCTION

Conflicts are a part of daily life that people encounter at home, work, and in organizations. It is evident that organizational conflicts are becoming more complex. In this respect, it is important for senior executives not to disregard these conflicts and involve public relations professionals in the conflict management processes. Hence, it is expected that public relations professionals become participants in the strategic planning process and that senior management relies on their experience and talents during the strategic planning process of organizations and resolution of issues. Another definition of public relations has emerged over the past years, even though the recent definitions of public relations focus on developing mutually beneficial relationships between organizations and their publics. Glen T. Cameron from University of Missouri defines public relations as management of conflict and competition strategically for the benefit of one’s own organization and, if possible, mutual benefit of organizations and individuals. It is impossible to disregard the influence of public relations professionals on managing the conflicts between an organization and its peers, and hence it is important to conduct further research on their approach to conflict management. With this motive, research questions have been generated based on the data presented by Professor Kenneth Plowman as a result of his analysis of strategic management of public relations in conflict management. Using the semi-structured interview technique, public relations professionals in Turkey were asked to describe their approach to conflict management.

The Continuing Convergence of Journalism and PR

The influence of public relations (PR) on media content has been shown to be substantial, and research indicates that it is growing through new media practices. However, the interrelationship between journalism and PR remains obscured by paradoxical discourses and stereotypes such as “spin doctors.” This article identifies gaps in the literature and current understandings, and reports findings from in-depth interviews with senior editors, journalists, and PR practitioners in several countries that provide new insights into how the fields of practice interact which not only debunk some myths but also expose a need for improved transparency and standards to ensure ethical media practice.

The Role of Public Relations in the Contemporary Society

Public relations - regarded as a complex of methods and techniques concerning image management and the success of different organizations' activities - impose themselves increasingly in a constantly changing world, characterized by diversity, interdependencies on a socio-economical level but, also, instability or disputes. Whether it is present in the private or public areas, PR contributes not only to the good of the organization, but also to the general public's interest. In other words, the interest of the organization might be aligned to the problems and desires of its public. If the organization as a whole has a good image amongst its public, the latter will have a sympathetic attitude towards the organization's actions and will help it surpass situations of crisis. Under the circumstances, communication through public relations offers multiple ways of expressing the organization's intentions, position and achievements, of getting feedback from the public by establishing interactive connections between different social entities. From this point of view, a modern society could not function without the constant presence and influence of public relations.
