“…Though the current research is not free from limitations, those limitations can be focused upon in future studies. That consumer negativity toward brand is gaining attention implies that there are interlinked areas that require examination by researchers; future studies should examine the role of personality traits responsible for propagating the feeling of hate ( Sternberg, 2003 ; Hegner et al, 2017 ; Akhtar et al, 2020b ). As argued by Sternberg (2003) , in addition to retaliation and revenge, ignoring or doing nothing with regard to the hated object might be an individual’s response.…”

Using the assumptions of Sternberg (2003) Duplex Theory of Hate, the present study reveals the combined effects of similar competitor offer and narcissistic personality on brand equity through the underlying mechanism of brand hate. Specifically, we hypothesize that brand hate mediates the relationship between similar competitor offer and brand equity. Moreover, we propose that similar competitor offer and brand hate relationship are stronger for narcissistic individuals. By employing a multi-wave time-lagged research design, we collected data from a sample of (N = 338) dairy product consumers in Pakistan. The findings of moderated-mediation regression analyses indicate that (a) Brand hate mediates the relationship between similar competitor offer and brand equity; and (b) Narcissistic personality moderates a similar competitor offer and brand hate relationship such that a high similar competitor offer led to greater brand hate when narcissism was high. Furthermore, conditional indirect effects reveal that brand hate mediates the relationship between similar competitor offer and brand equity only with individuals exhibiting narcissistic personality traits. The current study offers great insights to managers that by managing similar competitor offer, they can manage the development of brand hate, which can subsequently effect brand equity. Moreover, by profiling customers on the basis of their personalities, marketing managers can effectively invest only in customers with positive tendencies. The current study is unique in that it highlights new avenues in existing research by extending the nascent domain of brand hate in consumer–brand relationships.

“…Developing a conceptual integrated model is critical for managing the obscure and subtle destructiveness of leadership ostracism on employees and organizations (Akhtar et al, 2020 ). For supervisors, both strong supervisory skills and control (e.g., policies, command, or system) are the guarantee for maintaining effective management and achieving appropriate checks and balances in the workplace.…”

Leadership ostracism widely exists in all types of organizations, yet specific study regarding this trend is limited. With this study, we explore the influencing mechanisms of leadership ostracism through case interview based on literature analysis and grounded theory. Results show that leadership ostracism is the integration of a triadic interaction process between subordinate performance, leadership characteristics, and organizational environment. Based on Padilla's destructive leadership toxic triangle model, we constructed a toxic triangle model of leadership ostracism. Through comparison, we found that these two triad models overlap in the areas of narcissism and power consciousness of supervisors, the self-concept of subordinates, and the management system of situational factors, indicating that leadership ostracism is itself a type of destructive leadership. In addition, the uniqueness, and differences in leadership ostracism are reflected in the model, including stereotypes, and results orientation of supervisors, political skills, job performance, and cognitive style of subordinates, the power distance, Chaxu climate, and organizational politics of the situational elements. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed in the research field that provides prospects for future orientation.

“…The results of CFA for firm‐level outcomes (see Table 1) indicated that goodness of fit indices of one‐factor model (χ2 = 274.88, p < .05; TLI = 0.25; CFI = 0.55; RMSEA = 0.32) are poor than the goodness of fit of the two‐factor model (χ2 = 15.74, p < .001; TLI = 0.97; CFI = 0.98; RMSEA = 0.05). Due to a large number of construct's items we used the balanced items parceling technique (3 to 4 parcels per construct) (Little, Rhemtulla, Gibson, & Schoemann, 2013), recently many studies used parceling technique for CFA (Akhtar, Syed, Javed, & Husnain, 2020). The CFA results of measurement model (see Table 1) indicated that goodness of fit indices of full model one‐factor model (χ2 = 4,229.51, p < .05; TLI = 0.26; CFI = 0.32; RMSEA = 0.21) are poorer than the goodness of fit of the full model seven‐factor model (χ2 = 1,005.13, p < .001; TLI = 0.988; CFI = 0.90; RMSEA = 0.08).…”

This study examines the effect of responsible governance on a firm's financial performance and corporate reputation using the lens of stakeholder theory and signaling theory. We believe that no single theory fully underpins all the hypothesized relationships. This study also investigates the indirect effect of responsible governance on a firm's financial performance and corporate reputation via corporate social responsibility (CSR). Further, drawing on contingency perspective and using the lens of upper echelon theory, we test the moderating effect of different orientations of responsible leadership on the relationship between responsible governance and CSR. After, adopting a multi-wave research design and using a survey method, we find that responsible governance significantly improves a firm's financial performance and reputation. Further, we find that CSR mediates the relationship between responsible governance and firm-level outcomes. Moreover, moderating results reveal that the orientation of a traditional economist and an opportunity seeker strengthen the relationship between responsible governance and CSR whereas the orientation of an integrator and an idealist weaken this relationship. The study concludes with its implications and directions for future research.
