“…Although a number of studies integrate signaling concepts with related management theories (e.g., Deephouse, 2000;Ryan, Sacco, McFarland, & kriska, 2000;Sanders & Boivie, 2004), connecting upper echelon theory and signaling theory is new and flesh idea. Also, many signaling research have found that having positive signals can have a positive effect on the organizations' reputation ( Coff, 2002;Deephouse, 2000;Fischer & Reuber, 2007).…”

This paper integrated concepts from upper echelons, diversity, and signaling theories to examine how the attitude of top management team (TMT) on diversity influences organizational reputation and performance. Drawing from signaling theory, this conceptual paper explains how organizations' efforts on diversity signal the quality of the organization to the public. Then, the signal can give rise to promoting organizational reputation, which is a mediator for organizational performance.

“…Deephouse (2000) developed the concept of media reputation as the overall evaluation of a firm presented in the media, and found that this variant of reputation influence firms' performance. 7 Fombrun summarized later four guidelines that companies should follow to be well-regarded by their stakeholders: reliability, credibility, trustworthiness, and responsibility (Fombrun 1996).

Corporate reputation (CR) has become a fashionable topic due, among other reasons, to the recent financial and economic crisis and spreading corporate scandals. Given its interdisciplinary character and intangible nature, CR has been a frequent issue in many disciplines, but scarcely present in the business ethics field. This neglect is odd since a good reputation is one of the most valuable consequences of doing the right things and the things right. In this paper, we intend to explain this absence through three hypotheses: a) business ethics literature largely identifies corporate reputation and corporate social responsibility; b) corporate reputation overlaps with corporate image and corporate identity, resulting interchangeable constructs; and c) business ethics scholars have focused on the negative side of the reputation phenomenon, highlighting reputational risk more than benefits.Based on a bibliometric analysis of the top journal of business ethics literature over a recent decade (2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011), we finally confirmed the three hypotheses although c) only partially. In addition, the findings of this study will allow for a deeper understanding of the link between looking good and doing well.
