We compared attitudes, dimensions, and perspectives related to organization–public relationships (OPR) as represented in articles published in major daily newspapers in China and South Korea. Content analysis showed more negative attitudes toward OPR for South Korean (17.4%) than
for Chinese newspapers (3.4%). Control mutuality, trust, and satisfaction were found to be important dimensions. Face/favor was found to be an important dimension in Chinese OPR articles, where it appeared for three successive years (14.9%). In contrast, it did not appear at all in South Korean
articles. The findings show that attitudes, dimensions, and perspectives related to OPR reporting in the press are subject to influence from sociocultural characteristics, suggesting that different results may be obtained for countries with different characteristics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
