“…Making such values explicit allows obvious contradictions between espoused values and the actions of organizations to be exposed, while employees, customers and other stakeholders may self-select on the basis of their perceived congruence with the values (Grøgaard and Colman 2016;Jonsen et al 2015). The case of US Energy conglomerate Enron, which filed for bankruptcy in 2002, was a notorious example of how the espoused values of an organization (in Enron's case these were Respect, Integrity, Communications and Excellence) were completely at odds with the values enacted by the organization in its daily operations (Kunen 2002;Lencioni 2002).…”

This paper develops an inventory and conceptual map of espoused organizational values. We suggest that espoused values are fundamentally different to other value forms as they are collective value statements that need to coexist as a basis for organizational activity and performance. The inventory is built from an analysis of 3112 value items espoused by 554 organizations in the UK and USA in both profit and not-for-profit sectors. We distil these value items into 85 espoused value labels, and these are assessed in terms of their similarity and difference through judgements made by 53 experienced individuals. The resulting conceptual map facilitates the evaluation of values which are espoused at the organizational level, as opposed to aggregations of personal values, an important distinction that is often ignored in the literature. This analysis identifies a number of distinct areas of emphasis occupied by espoused values. In particular, the richness of value labels that relates to broader ethical issues may be aimed at external stakeholder management, but also may have an increasing influence on organizational behaviour as they are embedded into organizational practices. By advancing our understanding of espoused values, through an analysis of those being used in practice, we provide a means by which future research into organizational values and ethical issues can progress.

“…This study defined green value endorsement as a group of consumers that are eager to express shared values and have the drive to participate with collective goals [12,19]. These consumers have specific values and present a well-developed value identity as distinguishers [20]. Value endorsement represents loyalty marketing and commitment management among marketing practitioners [8,21].…”

“…The traditional marketing literature emphasizes a single pathway of value endorsement process; that is, a business' espoused value promotes green endorsement through value interpretive frames that lead to social integration, which are the main outcomes of marketing [20,25]. Therefore, green enterprises actively enhance the environmental value of enterprises and seek the value integration mechanism of value interpretive frames to create the green value endorsement of innovators and early users [16].…”

“…Most drivers of green value endorsements have been documented in the value integration literature, but an integrated and systematic understanding of the business' espoused values to form value integration to further facilitate the development of green value endorsement literature is lacking [16,20,25,33]. This study introduces two types of value interaction, namely value interpretive frames and value-bridging frames, to represent the communication and value gap management mechanisms as mediators for the dual-pathway model consisting of the supply-driven and demand-driven pathways [19,22].…”

“…The value interpretive frame indicates that enterprises change the standing points and consideration facets when communicating their recognition and appreciation of the environmental value to consumers [27]. The value interpretive frame is formed from the change in the consumer perception of sub-cultural embeddedness and a specific main culture [20]. The demand-driven pathway explains the value-bridging frames.…”

Dual Pathways of Value Endorsement in Green Marketing

This study proposed a dual-pathway model consisting of a supply-driven pathway and a demand-driven pathway to explain the green value endorsement process. The supply-driven pathway embodies a business’ espoused value of global environmental value through value integration, which leads to the endorsement of green value. The demand-driven pathway is the consumer’s identified value that reflects the consumers’ specific environmental value process to form green value endorsement. The study conducted a research survey on 623 customers who had experience with purchasing environmentally friendly products in Taiwan. The empirical study model used was structural equation modeling. The main path indicated that the consumer’s identified value positively affected the value-bridging frames, which mainly positively affected the endorsement of green values. Our study indicated that the demand-driven pathway played the main role in forming the green value endorsement. Green enterprises tend to merely emphasize their own business’ espoused values. This study is the first to examine a dual pathway in the green value endorsement process and considered both the supply-driven and demand-driven pathways in green value endorsement, which marks new ground in taking into account the value interpretive frames and value-bridging frames of value integration in the extant literature, providing a highly effective and useful profile for green marketing.

The contribution of this study is its investigation of the engine driving consumer value‐in‐use through a resource—integration capability—value framework from the perspective of a resource‐based view and a capability‐based view. We analyze how business resources and consumer resources influence individual and collective value‐in‐use via the causal mechanisms of resource integration capability and relationship integration capability. The study surveys 511 respondents in the greater Taipei area and employs a structural equation model to examine eight hypotheses. The results show that the main causal path was that consumer resources had a positive impact on relationship integration capability. Relationship integration capability showed a primarily positive impact on collective value‐in‐use.
