“…In the past, similar terms such as image, celebrity, and branding were used to describe reputation in the literature. This likely occurred because until recently reputation often went undefined in the literature (Zinko, Ferris, Blass, & Laird, 2007). Because some of the texts that we are using to support the current model may use terminology that differs from "personal reputation;" it is appropriate to not only specifically define reputation, but also similar constructs in order to show how they vary from personal reputation.…”

“…Credibility first must be established in order to interpret the "signaling" that occurs with respect to reputation (see Ferris et al, 2003). It is for this reason that current theory regarding reputation includes an assessment of the attributions of observed actions (see Zinko et al, 2007). If an audience feels that the actions of an individual are not authentic, then the reputation that occurs may be completely different from the one intended by the subject.…”

“…Branding is very similar to reputation development because both are an attempt to successfully influence those around us in order to achieve personal gain or rewards (Shepherd, 2005;Zinko et al, 2007). Personal branding is said to reflect the corporate branding process, and follows three stages.. First, those developing a personal brand identify their key attributes.…”

Personal reputation and the organization. J ournal of Management and Organization, 21, 217-236. doi: 10.1017/jmo.2014.76 REPUTATION AND THE ORGANIZATION 2 Abstract Drawing from fields such as marketing psychology, strategy, social psychology, and organizational behavior, the present examination explores the individual and organizational bases for personal reputation; specifically, how different bases interact with one another to produce an individual's reputation within organizations. It is proposed that individuals use personal reputations to satisfy their need for positive self-esteem as well as to secure their sense of belonging in organizations. Furthermore, reputation allows individuals to obtain rewards such as autonomy, power, and career success and the opportunity to signal key information to audiences. Likewise, organizations utilize personal reputations to predict their members' behaviors, market those who are a part of the organization to others, build their own corporate reputations, and signal information to consumers and competitors. To further this understanding of personal reputation an examination is presented as to how organizations serve as an essential context within which individuals realize their personal reputations and regulate their behavior.

“…On the one hand, implementing food safety standards can increase costs for firms. On the other hand, firms have incentives to protect their reputation (ZINCO et al, 2007), and so might implement state-of-the-art food safety practices without any prodding from the government. Additionally, as consumers might be willing to pay more for food that they perceive as safer (ARYAL et al, 2009;LAROCHE et.…”

ResumoA cadeia de frutas frescas está focando de forma crescente no valor adicionado e na redução de custos, procurando atender a demanda do consumidor. A cadeia de produtos agroindustrializados no mercado público do município de Santa Rosa (estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil) é um caso particular para analisar a importância dos custos de transação com o intuito de produzir com mais eficiência. O artigo tem como objetivo verificar o funcionamento da cadeia de mercado e analisar a percepção dos produtores entrevistados em relação à segurança alimentar, rastreabilidade e certificação. O artigo também propõe uma análise do tipo de governança utilizado na referida cadeia com relação às características transacionais. O referencial teórico baseou-se nos conceitos da Cadeia Global de Valor. Apesar da estrutura de governança ser caracterizada como de mercado, os canais de comercialização de produtos agroindustrializados comercializados no mercado público de Santa Rosa-RS são bem coordenados. No entanto, os produtores precisam aumentar seus níveis de percepção e se familiarizar em relação aos assuntos ligados à segurança do alimento, rastreabilidade e certificação. Políticas públicas são necessárias para prover um sistema de monitoramento e assistência aos produtores. 9 Palavras-chave: canais de comercialização, pequenos produtores, certificação, rastreabilidade, segurança do alimento Abstract:The fresh fruit marketing system is increasingly focused on adding value and decreasing costs by streamlining distribution and understanding customer demands. Agri-food marketing chains in the Public Market in the municipality of Santa Rosa (State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) offer a particularly challenging setting for the analysis of the importance of transaction costs for production efficiency and supply chain efficiency. This paper aims to verify the functioning of the marketing chain and to evaluate the perception of the surveyed farmers with regard to food security, traceability and certification. It also proposes an analysis of the type of governance used in this value chain regarding the characteristics of transactions. The theoretical background is based on the concepts of the Global Value Chain approach. Although the governance structure is characterized as market, the marketing chain of agrifood products traded in the public market in the municipality of Santa Rosa-RS presents a good coordination. Nevertheless, farmers need to increase their level of perception and become familiar with regard to issues related to food safety, traceability and certification. Public policies are called for providing management monitoring and assistance for the farmers.

Despite rapid growth in using Web sites to recruit applicants, little theoretical or empirical research has examined how fi rm attributes infl uence the effectiveness of recruitment Web sites. We developed and tested a model that examines the relationships among the fi rm's reputation as an employer, the attributes of the fi rm's Web site, and applicant attraction using data on business students' reactions to the recruitment Web sites of 144 fi rms. Results indicated that the amount of company and job attribute information provided on a recruitment Web site, the Web site's vividness, and the fi rm's reputation as an employer have a three-way interactive effect on prospective applicants' perceptions of the recruiting organization. As such, certain Web site attributes were more effective for fi rms with poor reputations and others for those with a good reputation. The implications of these results for recruitment research and for fi rms using Web sites as recruitment tools are discussed.
